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

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.

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.

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.
Great service and precision. I manage to win my case thanks to the no fees no win. Thanks specially to Claudia Thain.
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
Michael Frape of Ashtons Legal provided excellent service in handling a professional negligence claim for me. The claim was very important to me, and Michael did a highly diligent and thorough job of putting together and pursuing the initial stages of the claim, with the appropriate level of attention to detail, always dealing with the case personally. Michael adapted his fees to reflect the nature and size of the case. Michael was then forced to relinquish the case on grounds of the economics, but he gave time in completing the final stage before the handover to my new solicitor and did everything he could to ensure that went smoothly. Eventually a settlement of the case was obtained and I will always be grateful for Ashtons Legal's part in this.

Thank you very much for your feedback and five star review, it is great appreciated.
As a retired solicitor I am probably the worst type of client! But I have to commend Tom Bailey for his excellent support, advice and most important result he achieved for us. John Chambers, who drafted my original agreement over 20 years ago gave excellent initial advice and then passed me to Tom to resolve the conflict that then came. I cannot thank Tom enough for his support and understanding and for achieving a successful outcome.

Bethanie Mantin at Ashtons legal helped me with a very sensitive personal matter. Communication was amazing and she was able to achieve the best result on my behalf. The quality of the work was unapparelled, without her knowledge and skill this wouldn't have been possible. I owe her and her team as a massive thank you. I highly recommend for anyone in need of a top tier solicitor!!

I needed to make a will & talk through the realities of having a Disabled Person's Trust. Sally was very professional but also compassionate & empathetic in a somewhat emotional predicament.

I used Paris as my solicitor for a Drink-driving offence I had committed. I found her and the rest of the team at Ashtons Legal LLP very professional and also supportive in assisting me with it. I would have no hesitation recommending her services.

Not having had any past experiences of this nature I sought guidance on procedures and process from Maya and her team. I found them pro active, efficient communicators who dealt with all aspects of the preparation and process calmly and with the highest degree of professionalism

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us.
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.
