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.

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.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

The support was patient and thorough. Care was taken to engage with a difficult client and master peculiar circumstances. It was refreshing to deal with a lawyer prepared to represent people, not only corporate entities.

Roger helped us tremendously with my husband’s case. English is not our first language but he always went out of his way to help us understand all the legal terms and what was happening throughout the case. He was very helpful and the case was successful. We are really grateful for all his support through our process.

Alice Trainor was the solicitor who dealt with my case and I found her to be a great communicator who is not only reliable but, also, very capable. Should the need ever arise, I would have no reservations about using her again or recommending her services to others.

Thank you very much for your five star review and feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
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.

Our experience with Ashtons Legal was excellent. Antonia Ridley-Hughes and her team were very knowledgeable and efficient, replying promptly to our enquiries and completing work in good time and at reasonable cost. Antonia helped us to negotiate the complexities of cross border (England and France) estate planning and wills with clarity and in detail. She also has a friendly manner and is always professional. We would not hesitate to recommend both Antonia and Ashtons Legal to interested parties.

Very step of the way, Claudia (My solicitor) was very helpful and dealt with every hurdle professionally and promptly. Never was there any confusion or communication problems. Everything was explained professionally. Personally I felt that Claudia went out of her way to resolve every situation that would help you in the best possible way. All in all a great experience.

Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback.
The case was regarding a buisiness bankruptcy, not mine but resulting in a claim on my family home. I later discovered the solicitor I chose was inexperienced and not able to appear in court hearings. I was advised to use a barrister to represent me in the first of several hearings. It turned out to be in the wrong court so was dismissed. The barrister had to apologise to the judge for not being aware of new rules. I had to pay Ashtons the fee for that day amounting to approx. £2,400. My first instruction had been to keep my address abroad confidential, this was breached later as the case progressed. The opposing solicitors were calling the shots, my solicitor seemed in awe of them and even had to have them explain various points of law to her. The case dragged on for 18 months. The final insult was after the forced sale of my house. The final bill from Ashtons included an item ' Probate Fee' ( no one had died and this service was not required) I surmised it had been added to cover part of the final bill. In fact I did intend to withhold the payment until I could put forward my complaint. My house was sold for a fraction of the market value and 50% of the proceeds given to bankruptcy receivers. I put forward my complaint to a senior partner but it was not exactly a robust procedure, a panel of partners looked at it, I noticed one had the same surname as my solicitor . The points I mention here were not addressed. The breach of confidentiality, the Billing for an aborted court hearing, and false item of service which did not exist. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. My life savings were used up in legal fees amounting to 14k.
Hello - I'm sorry to read this, it certainly is not typical of the service we provide. If you would like to make contact with me I will look into the matter further and endeavour to resolve these issues. Please email me on dave.richardson@ashtonslegal.co.uk .

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.

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.

Alexandra was supportive throughout the personal injury claim and we really appreciated her patience and guidance. Along with the wider team she made us feel genuinely supported at every stage and we are extremely grateful for everything Alexandra did to help us navigate what was a long and difficult process.
Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
Harriet Richardson @ Ashton’s solicitors is very professional and always kept us informed on progress with our present enquiry, Harriet was always quick to respond to any queries that we might have been concerned about. Ashton’s is a firm that my family have always used for many years and will continue to do so into the future.
