After the diagnosis of a life threatening condition, I needed to get my affairs in order as quickly as possible. Jennie and her team were amazing! Professional, courteous and very kind. They also explained things in layman's language for me. I have no hesitation in recommending them highly.

Ashtons helped me through the complex and at times bewildering process of resolving my late mother's estate. This has been a one-off experience for me, so I have little in the way of a point of comparison. The overall cost was more or less in line with what I was told at the outset, although in terms of time it took considerably longer. Jennie Pratt, who had dealt with my father's estate on behalf of my mother, felt like a family friend. Various other members of the team, namely Zinzi Tegala and Matthew Farrant, demonstrated an excellent grasp of their respective briefs. Karen Loftus was also clear, friendly and quick to respond. Most of all, I will remember (and be grateful for) the kindness and humanity that Amanda Smitherman brought into the mix.

We had a problem with a nuisence neighbour and having taken out legal expenses insurance was disappointed with the advice we had received, however Ashtons gave us a different side and even pointed out law that our expenses insurance had not considered. Michael Frape a true professional looking at it from all angles. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I was having a bad experience with another solicitor and turned to Katy to take on my case. She was incredibly helpful throughout, responding quickly and answering my questions in full. If in the future I ever need legal help again I would certainly turn to Katy again. Thank you again for all the help and support.

I cannot fault this company, in particular Amanda Cavanagh, at all. She has been nothing but professional, understanding and compassionate to my Grandfather who she has been representing during what has been a very difficult year due to Covid-19. She has worked tirelessly to keep everything on track and keep us up to date with everything. Would 100% recommend them to anyone in the future and we cannot thank you enough for all you have done!
Our heartfelt thanks
