The dispute resolution team were highly knowledgeable about contract law, practical and strategic. This was a complicated case and they took the time to understand the situation, the key issues and risks. I was kept fully informed and at every stage their advise was clear, balanced and easy to follow. Most importantly they helped me achieve a resolution that protected my interests without unnecessary escalation or cost.

I had a medical claim and took it to Amanda Cavanagh and she was wonderful, did what she needed to contacted everyone for me and sorted everything from beginning to end. I can't rate her enough for all the help and advise she gave me along the way.

We have used Ashtons Legal since 1999 it was Ashtons and Graham at the time. Found our experience very satisfactory.

I’ve been working with Michael on a very stressful and complex dispute, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support. From day one he was calm, clear, and straight-talking. He explained everything in plain English, laid out my options objectively, and never pushed me down a path that didn’t make commercial sense. What really stood out was his balance of legal knowledge and pragmatism - he didn’t just throw the book at me, he helped me weigh up the costs, risks, and likely outcomes so I could make confident decisions. Communication has been excellent, with prompt replies and carefully thought-out advice at every stage. Michael is exactly the kind of lawyer you want on your side: thorough, strategic, and honest about where you stand. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
Ashtons is very trustworthy and reliable. I needed quick advice with a strict budget and was very satisfied. I had an initial consult with Michael who quickly identified my needs with precision and relevant knowledge. We agreed high level, strategic advice was more valuable than detailed legal research, which ended up exactly suiting my needs and staying within budget. Additionally client care was great and I felt looked after throughout - thoroughly recommend.

Very good service
Thank you very much for the five star rating and feedback.
Absolutely awful service! Writng a review on behalf of a relative and colleague.The recent service and experience a colleague of mine has had has been absolutely awful.. the worse customer services ever! The solicitor keeps making mistakes, asking for forms and docs they have, which have already been completed weeks ago. When challenged, the solicitor makes excuses rather than taking ownership or responsibility for their own internal mistakes. The solicitor has behaved rudley on a few occasions, slow in replying to anything. A long process, a very painful experience, the solictor is consistently very unhelpful. AVOID this company, Absolutely AWFUL.
Thank you for your feedback. As a business, we strive to provide high standards of service to all of our clients. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the issues your relative has experienced, please contact our Client Experience Manager at ben.harvey@ashtonslegal.co.uk so we can investigate this further.
Awful, wretched service. Called up to get a solicitor quote, was promised a call back within 2 days. 4 days later, nothing. Called again, said someone will respond asap. Still no response. What will it take to make businesses return calls and stop treating customers like garbage. Do not recommend unless you enjoy irritation and being ignored.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We wish to apologise to you for this experience. As a business, we strive to provide high standards of service to all of our prospects, contacts, and clients. Your feedback has been taken on board and used to refine processes with the team in question. Best wishes. Vicki

Kerry has been an amazing solicitor in a very complex situation, i highly recommend her, she is very talented and knowledgeable, good communication Although Kerry has been absolutely brilliant i did not rate the medical doctors used by Ashtons but that is not her fault, i felt in very safe and confident in her abilities.

I cannot thank my solicitor enough for the support, compassion, and professionalism she has shown throughout my loss of dependency claim. From the very beginning, she treated me with genuine empathy and understanding during what has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and explained everything clearly and patiently. Her dedication, attention to detail, and determination gave me confidence that my case was in the best possible hands. What stood out most was her kindness and sensitivity. She never lost sight of the personal impact of my loss and always handled matters with the utmost care and respect. I am truly grateful for all of her hard work and support, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a solicitor who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely compassionate.

Anne Hale was very helpful in sorting out the closure of a French bank account after the sale of a property. Her expertise meant that tax issues could be resolved too.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us.
Anne was instrumental in the sale of a French property owned by my sister. However there were still issues in that tax was due and the French Bank Account was still open. As my sister's husband was ill she was unable to travel in order to close the bank account. Anne Hale was approached and offered a very kind, caring approach to get everything dealt with and the balance transferred into the UK account.

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.

Alexandra was supportive throughout the personal injury claim and we really appreciated her patience and guidance. Along with the wider team she made us feel genuinely supported at every stage and we are extremely grateful for everything Alexandra did to help us navigate what was a long and difficult process.
Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
Harriet Richardson @ Ashton’s solicitors is very professional and always kept us informed on progress with our present enquiry, Harriet was always quick to respond to any queries that we might have been concerned about. Ashton’s is a firm that my family have always used for many years and will continue to do so into the future.
