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 + Louise acted in a professional manner while at the same time being open + friendly. They went through the whole process in detail on the two occasions we met, asking questions along the way to ensure we fully understood. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashton to friends and family.

Insurance Law

Bike accident claim from an insurance co

On 27th April 2025 I was knocked off my bicycle in Bury St Edmunds by a careless motorist and suffered serious injuries. When I tried to claim from the insurance company I was told I had to do this through a lawyer which is why I contacted Ashtons. The lawyer assigned to this task managed to negotiate a substantial compensation for me as well as most of her fee from the insurance company, all done with courtesy and honesty. A successful outcome for me.

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.
