Matter Type: Wills
My dealing with this firm started before lockdown but I felt very confident as my family had dealt with Ashtons for several generations. It is uncomfortable dealing with someone you'd never met about very private matters. As time went on I began to feel comfortable and more relaxed and my matters were finally completed during lockdown and I met my solicitor in the carpark, complete with masks and spray to enable us to get final papers signed, I would recommend the firm to friends and family.

Matter Type: Employment Law
From the onset, I was very impressed with Emily’s approachable manner; commitment; knowledge; professionalism and supportive nature. She is meticulous and I found her incredibly responsive to all my queries, and she was always a phone call or email away. I felt reassured that I was in safe hands throughout the process. Emily is a credit to her firm and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I have used Ashtons Legal several times and the service provided is exemplary and second to none. Thank you again.

I would rate as "excellent" the initial impression, knowledge, approachability, value for money, services and professionalism of the members of Ashtons Legal in their dealings with my elderly friend and me. They had a clear grasp of the respective situations of my friends and me, clearly explained how they recommended the wills be drawn up and how various aspects of our situations could be covered once the wills were made. The wills were drawn up, signed and witnessed in good time, and my friend and I now have piece of mind.

Michael assessed the merits of our case against all potential defendants. This was the principal reason for the instruction. We were able to make business decisions accordingly. Excellent and pragmatic advice was received.

Very nice professional and personal people who helped me get justice kept in contact with myself all the way through the case even though we are in the middle of a pandemic they would send details of every stage of my case through secure emails they when I won they was very quick to pay out my winnings from my case they understand that for me it wasn't just about the money i wanted the people to except liability for what happened to me and they got that for me i would highly recommend this solicitors again i hope that i won't need to but definitely would if I had to 💯?

Thank you very much for the fantastic feedback.
We contacted Aston's after a friends recommendation. We had tried four other legal teams, all of which said they couldn't help us and we didn't have a case.
Amanda Cavanagh dealt with our claim. She was absolutely excellent. She kept us informed every step of the way. And handled our case very promptly and professionally. We cannot recommend her enough. And would recommend Aston's to anyone.

Thank you for the five star review. I will pass your kind words onto Amanda and the team. Very best wishes.
Ashtons took me on when I really needed help, and Mandy was particularly amazing. Unfortunately due to certain circumstances with a few different solicitors I did get passed around a few times, but eventually ended back up with Mandy again. Would highly recommend.

A first class experience from Alan Brown at Astons Legal, swift to react for us when time was limited and would not hesitate to recommend his professional advice and legal services.
