I found Martin Tolhurst solicitors to be very helpful with their services. Kenneth Amkye was kind, understanding on the subject in question, giving non bias advice and direction. I was kept informed fully and supported in my case, being advised each step that had or could be taken.

Nino Piccoli

Tagged solicitor Nino Piccoli

We were looked after by Nino and Tilly, on a split commercial/domestic transaction to acquire a portion of development land for a new build home and a spearate commercial development. The team worked clearley through the details, and continued to drive to a successful conclusion when faced with a severely slow moving opposite legal team.
