Fantastic Experience

I had such a great experience working with Lisa on my employment case. This was my first time seeking legal advice and I am so glad that I found Lisa. She explained everything to me really clearly and gave me great advice. She made the whole process really easy and I felt like I was in very safe hands.

Dispute Resolution

Michael Frape and Ross Strowger - a formidable team!

Michael Frape and Ross Strowger make a brilliant team in managing the most complex of disputes covering both commercial dispute resolution and associated employment aspects. They are both phenomenally good lawyers but working together as a team in the interests of their client they make a truly formidable pairing. Anybody experiencing a complex dispute should contact Michael and Ross to conduct their matter. My interests could not have been represented any better and I felt cared for and heard all the way through the dispute resolution process. If you need lawyers to represent you with tenacity, determination and dedication, the combined skill set exhibited by Ross and Michael means their early advice should be sought.

Emily and her team were extremely responsive and fast to handle my case. She took the time to make sure I understood everything and resolved my case swiftly. The paralegal and legal assistants were exceptionally organised and good communicators. I would highly recommend Ashton's legal for any employment law cases.

Housing & Property

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.

Authorship of Wills with Life Interest over House

We took advice to go to Ashtons to have our Wills written because we each wanted our share of our House to be placed in Trust for our grandchildren, but with a Life Interest in the house for the survivor. This provided some safeguard for each of our halves of the house against future unforeseen events (to pass to our children) while at the same time guaranteeing availability of the whole house (or any replacement) as a rent-free domicile for our survivor. I trusted Ashtons to have the Legal Knowledge to ensure this was done and to provide all relevant legal advice (including inheritance advice) and details of options.

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.
