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.

My experience with Hayley was at all time professional, helpful, knowledgeable, approachable and above all friendly. I first spoke to Hayley during lockdown and my case has taken some time but Hayley has been my tower of strength throughout my ordeal I can’t thank her and her team enough for my outcome excellent 5 star 🌟 service. Thank you Hayley.

We met Hayden in the Glasgow office having just lost my wife’s close Auntie. It had been a difficult time over a year and we were not looking forward to going through all the legal challenges ahead. The first thing Hayden said was “ don’t worry that’s my job “ he listened and guided us through the initial meeting and we left with a weight off our shoulders confident that he had control. Over the next 7 months we had regular updates on the progress without being bombarded with legal documents and speak just a calm this is where we are at . Overall Hayden’s professional confident and more importantly compassionate demeanour is his strength and he probably doesn’t realise how much he did to help us return to a calmer life we can’t thank him enough.

Really excellent . Hannah was very professional but also very friendly & understanding of the situation that myself & daughter were in following sudden death of my son.. she is a credi to your company & would certainly recommend her & you to anyone else. Thanks Hannah.

Vicky helped us ut in place PoAs, wills and some trust structures over an extended period of time as our circumstances changed. She was friendly, informative and responsive as well as extremely professional, taking time to understand our requirements and and hone our understanding. In light of the work done the fees were extremely reasonabl

We found the process very easy. We had a fairly simple will so did not need too much advice. We had only a handful of meetings before the actual wills were signed. No complaints whatsoever.

The work undertook by Rebecca on my late mother’s probate was professional, efficient and friendly. She was very approachable and answered all my queries quickly and with knowledge. Thank you for making this difficult time so much easier.

The loss of a loved one is a deeply profound experience. When faced with the shock and distress of a Will being challenged, together with demands for the keys to their property and account details even before the funeral, it would be easy to make the wrong choice when seeking legal representation. Fortunately, I turned to Mr Giles Dobson, who came recommended by a friend. Mr Dobson helped us navigate one of the most testing and unjustified situations our family has ever faced. It was a cost I could certainly have done without, but I never had a panic attack every time an invoice arrived because the billing was always clear and easy to understand. As with any legal matter, I would encourage anyone to carry out their own research alongside their solicitor's advice. This was particularly important in our case, as some aspects required culturally competent and nuanced consideration. Mr Dobson never made me feel that raising these issues was a burden. He remained receptive to the information and research I shared, and I will always appreciate that. To me, it is the sign of someone who continues to learn and develop professionally, and that can only make them a better solicitor. Most importantly, Mr Dobson did not add to the burden of one of the most difficult periods of my life following a bereavement. He remained calm, strategic, thorough and humane throughout. For that, I remain sincerely grateful and would recommend him without reservation.
