I met with Jonathan MacNamara to discuss the dissolution of a family trust which had been arranged through an unrelated firm of solicitors. Jonathan handled all aspects of the work and produced a very satisfactory outcome. At all times, he was friendly, efficient and professional.

I was lucky enough to be recommended Capa Law. I found it very easy to deal with all the staff. Jessie was my conveyor to sell my late mother’s house, she done a great job and communicated with the other solicitors I had representing me during probate.

Debra Williamson

Tagged solicitor Debra Williamson

Easy and professional service from end to end. I made contact and got an initial appointment within a few days. The engagement felt very personal to us rather than a prescribed approach you often get with larger organisations. Our wills were then prepared and signed within a week! Would recommend to all.

We have received excellent service from Dovaston Law. All our enquiries and concerns were dealt with quickly and efficiently and we were updated on events as they happened so that we were always aware of situations that we were required to attend to and that they had dealt with.. We would have every confidence in recommending them and thank them for their help and professional attitude.
