I have been a client for around 20 years and have always been looked after by Amanda Smitherman. Amanda is very friendly and helpful, answering questions and explaining everything to me. She is extremely professional and every visit is followed up by a letter detailing oout everything we discussed. I would not hesitate to seek her professional advice at any time.

Outstanding Legal Representation and Exceptional Result

I cannot thank Maya, Paris, Hannah, and barrister Molly enough for the incredible support and representation they provided throughout my case. From the very beginning, Maya's professionalism, expertise, and reassurance gave me confidence that I was in the best possible hands. Her assistants, Paris and Hannah, were always helpful, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. Their communication and attention to detail were outstanding. The team arranged for Molly to represent me in court, and she was absolutely exceptional. Thanks to her thorough preparation, professionalism, and strong advocacy, she successfully presented my exceptional hardship case and helped me avoid a driving ban for totting up offences. The outcome has had a hugely positive impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for her efforts. The entire team demonstrated genuine care, dedication, and expertise throughout what was a very stressful situation. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal assistance. Their knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients truly set them apart. Thank you again to Maya, Paris, Hannah, and Molly for everything you did for me. Your hard work and support were greatly appreciated.

Good advice for a potentially tricky situation

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.

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 noted Rachel and Andrew would answer emails out of hours! 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.
