Welfare & Benefits

Guidance and support with benefit appeal

Ruth throughly supported my brother and I through the whole process involved in our appeal to have benefits reinstated. She took time to explain everything answering our queries and giving us the confidence to go through with the appeal. She explained the process giving us advice on possible outcomes. With her support we felt able to go through the process. We felt supported. My brother was confused at some stages but Ruth took the time to explain so he understood. We were successful in our appeal, we owe that to Ruth for her support and guidance. Thank you Ruth. I would recommend her services and she is a definite asset to Ashtons's Legal she gave great legal advice and I would recommend her services. Thank you

Professional, Dedicated and Highly Recommended – Maya lal

My experience with Maya Lal was excellent. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout my taxi licensing case. She explained everything clearly, prepared my case thoroughly, and represented me with confidence. I felt reassured and well supported during a very stressful time. I am truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her.

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.

Thank you Michael

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 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.

Housing & Property

Property sale

Just sold a property with Ashton/Lauren acting on my behalf. Sale was a messy affair with buyer making demands, threats to pull out and at one stage just disappearing for few weeks. Lauren/Ashton legal kept me informed of all progress and managed to untie this knot of vipers. One of the most stand out feature is ease of access to communicate. I had email, office location and even phone number so any concerns could be sorted quickly and efficiently Lastly there was clear and direct communication between Ashton, estate agent and myself. Thank you too all staff at Ashton legal and to Lauren in particular. Ashtons have always granted the needed results and you bring credit to the firm.
