Vicky and the team have been excellent, during one of the most difficult times of an unexpected family bereavement dealing with my fathers estate. As executor I would have been overwhelming had it not been for Vicky and Paris Smith Solicitors. They have been my family’s solicitor for many years, and we have never been disappointed with them. But this time, with some complex things to work through in the administration, Vicky was patient, compassionate and made things incredibly simple. I can thoroughly recommend her and her team for any legal requirements. They were our family solicitors when we lived in Southampton, but we all moved to Cumbria some years ago, and even with the significant distance involved, working with them was easy and progress was rapid. I am very grateful to Vicky especially.

I have had a very positive experience with Thompsons solicitors. Especially their lawyer Hayden Bain who has been professional throughout. Keeping me informed and responding quickly to queries.I would highly recommend this firm of solicitors.

I cannot commend Helen Gowin and Ashleigh Imber high enough for the level of support and diligence shown in our matters over the past two years in the dealing of my late sister's estate. As a sole (and first time) executor living in Australia and having the responsibility for an estate in the UK was extremely daunting. They both showed patience, compassion and diligence to ensure I was guided and supported through the whole process, taking time to update and explain my responsibilities and requirements at all times. For this I am extremely grateful.

Dealing with the estate of a deceased member of the family is emotionally draining at the best of times - Nick Bevan, Katriona Lovelock have been great in helping us deal with the potential pitfalls of beneficiaries. In addition the teams of Vicky, Rebecca. Heidi have proved knowledgeable and helpful along the way.

Parker Bullen helped me formulate my will and have agreed to be my executors. In particular, I would like to thank Lisa McKellar for her excellent assistance. She has been amicable, efficient, and highly professional. She is an absolute credit to your firm. Many thanks and kindest regards, David Woods

The Elliott Mather Team, lead in my case by Rebecca Hudson, made the tricky and daunting process of probate, so very easy! Rebecca's professionalism was extemporary. Her lines of communications, with her colleagues, the probate services and myself, were perfect. The quote was well explained and reasonable and the end cost was as expected. Rebecca and her team went above and beyond ... thank you !!  

This is a copy of what I have just written to Paul at the conclusion of the work he has done for me: "I am so, so grateful for all the support you have given me in steering this whole legacy through over the last three years and more. When you told me originally that it could take up to eighteen months to complete my aunt's affairs I found that incredible. Despite your best efforts, now here we are more than three years after her death.....!! It has been such a tortuous path, especially with the enormous difficulty of selling her apartment in Gravesend, and you have gone to so much trouble to help me understand [or try to understand!] each twist and turn, always so graciously and with constant kindness. I genuinely can't thank you enough." P.S. Please note that where I have omitted to answer "value for money" and "documentation accuracy" it is not a criticism - I simply have no other previous experience and did not approach any other solicitors by which to judge
