Feedback on Services and Support

Jack has acted professional in a very short period of time on all aspects of the reactive support for Armtrac. He has remained calm and logical on all areas when there has been pressure exerted by the solicitor from the other parties. It is clear he has had a solid grounding with a good level of experience in similar cases. It would appear he is very comfortable with his ability and also when to seek guidance from partners to ensure Armtrac has received the best guidance in a compressed period. It is my first experience of working or engaging with Ashtons and from a first impression, Jack has been a true ambassador for your organisation, I have already mentioned to Jack post this case. I would very much like to follow up and meet to understand the capabilities of Ashtons as Armtrac executes on its growth plan and transition as a business to see how we can be utilise your services. Thank you

Company dispute

I have worked with many legal firms, but I was hugely impressed with Ashtons. They understood the situation quickly and provided clear, strategic advice that helped resolve the matter in our favour. Their support did not stop there. They were highly efficient in drafting all the necessary legal documentation, ensuring everything was properly handled and brought to a clear conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons.

Thank you Michael

I came to Ashtons with a complex partnership dispute, and Michael Frape made all the difference. He is calm, clear and relentless, and he kept me steady through the stressful stretches by always explaining the reasoning behind his advice. He held firm on the points that counted, never overcomplicated things, and was genuinely sensitive to how much was riding on this for me and my family. He cared about the outcome in a real way. The rest of my dealings with the firm were a touch uneven, but Michael was first rate throughout, and he is the reason I would send anyone facing something similar his way. With heartfelt thanks.

The journey that was selling my house.

This was my first time using Ashtons legal, it was also my first time selling a property. It has been an experience i will not forget any time soon. Claire and the team have been great throughout, when my buyers and sellers have pulled out or had other complex situations going on i could always rely on Claire to get me an update when i began to think things were all falling apart again... Communication was swift and clear, if i was stuck with anything we sorted it and Claire always took my call. I'm sure the process would have been far more challenging for me had i not have had Ashtons and Claire to help me through it.

I would highly recommend Ashtons Legal for their outstanding service and support throughout our house purchase. A special thank you to Andrew Skuse and Rachel Chilton, who were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their professionalism, expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. They went above and beyond to help ensure everything was handled smoothly and, ultimately, made our house purchase possible. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew, Rachel, and the team at Ashtons Legal to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and supportive legal team. Thank you once again for everything!

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.
