Ruth is amazing...

For the past 3 years you have supported both me and Ruby with so much paperwork, so many phone calls, multiple application forms, and complicated stuff that we did not understand. We cannot thank you enough. You have been part of my support network, and I will miss you dearly. You are simply fabulous. Your knowledge base is like an encyclopedia, your people skills are amazing, and I thank you for all of the times I cried on the phone, or didn't understand, or didn't reply because I couldn't face it. You are a phenomenal human being, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything that you have done for us. Thank you Ruth :-) x x x

Outstanding solicitor - Highly Recommended - Penny Tilmouth

I cannot recommend Penny highly enough for the professionalism and friendliness in handling my case. As time went by I built up and excellent rapport with Penny and I highly valued her advice and guidance with her friendly attitude. Penny always put me at ease and always explained queries I may of had which having never been through the legal process before, can be overwhelming at times. I was very fortunate to have found Penny and please to say my claim was very successful which has now made a big difference to my life in the future. Thank you Penny and if you're uncertain where to turn, just make that first call/email to her.

The team in Ashton's legal have been nothing short of professional and have gone above and beyond to see our case to fruition. I do not have enough words to express how great the whole team has been for me and my family in our nearly a decade long journey together. Very transparent with the process. Will recommend Ashton's to anyone, especially if it's a medical negligence case. Great professional. Great service 👍

Excellent Service!

We recently asked Ashtons to assist us in managing my Stepfather’s will for which I was executor. The service we received from Harriet and her colleagues was friendly, professional and very helpful. It certainly removed the stress from a complex situation. We are very grateful and would certainly recommend Ashtons Legal LLP.

We recently used Ashtons Legal for the purchase of our first home and couldn't be happier with the service we received. A special thank you to Kathryn Smith and Sienna Vincent, who were excellent throughout the entire process. They were responsive, efficient, professional and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. Communication was clear and timely, and they consistently kept pace with us whenever we needed information or decisions quickly. Buying a house can be stressful, and we'd heard plenty of horror stories from friends and family about conveyancing solicitors. Thankfully, our experience with Ashtons Legal was the complete opposite. Kathryn and Sienna helped keep everything on track, proactively dealt with issues as they arose, and gave us confidence throughout the transaction. The service was worth every penny and we would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone purchasing a property. Thank you again for helping us secure our new home.

It’s no exaggeration when I say that Ashtons Legal changed my life after I sustained a catastrophic traumatic brain injury aged 20. Ashtons was recommended to me by the PALS team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and I reached out to them in early 2022 and the case concluded in mid 2026 due to its complexity. Thanks to the absolutely tenacious eye for detail that Mick Upton used in my case against the individual who injured me in a hit-and-run, and the ice cold professionalism and legal acumen that Marcus Grant presented against the insurance company who were the defendants in the case, I am now protected for the foreseeable future and have access to cutting edge care and financial advice outsourced to excellent advisors who also have a great eye for all things economic. Throughout the four-year process I was kept in the loop every step of the way. No stone was left unturned and nothing was left to chance - Mick Upton led from the front to secure me a settlement which is absolutely life changing and Marcus Grant was there to be the face of negotiation, assist and to provide crucial representation when it mattered most. Throughout it all there was a team of ferociously dedicated and committed executives, managers and assistants who formed the backbone of the case and provided their expert aid when I needed questions answered or needed to provide my own input. I would like to thank one of them, Louise Reardon, for being so kind, helpful and understanding when I found it difficult to complete forms or communicate effectively with the team. Her compassion was second to none, matched only by her ability to assist and offer guidance. For them this was another day at the office. For me, it was simply life changing and I cannot express my gratitude adequately in this review. If you need a personal injury team that fights tooth and nail for the best outcome, look no further. 10/10.

I found the overall process to be very smooth and straightforward. The explanations provided were clear and easy to follow, and the initial quote remained in line with the final costs. I particularly appreciated the transparency regarding each step and the associated fees from the beginning.
