Sydney Mitchell LLP

Last March 2026 I had an appt with Sydney Mitchell LLP to discuss the start of a Grant of Probate application. I met Charlotte and Kevin at this appt. Kevin took down a whole lot of notes but did not talk very much. Following this appt we were subsequently advised that an Inheritance Tax IHT400 application would also need to be submitted for father's estate. There was a lot of information about the estate, most notably the financial side. Kevin interpreted the figures and information we presented accurately and then in turn entered the figures into the IHT400 and GoP forms. Both applications were approved by HMRC well within the approval timeframes. My dealings with Kevin were straightforward. Whenever there were any questions about this whole bureaucracy process and I would telephone Kevin, he would quite elaborately explain what was happening and advise what I should do. The information was always clear to understand and easy to follow. Thank you Kevin.

I honestly cannot recommend Gemma highly enough. I first instructed Gemma at what was an incredibly difficult and uncertain time in my life, and she has supported me throughout what turned into a long and, at times, extremely stressful divorce and financial settlement. From the very beginning, I felt that I was in safe hands. She was always knowledgeable, pragmatic and honest in her advice, while also being incredibly understanding and supportive when things became difficult. What makes my experience with Gemma even more unusual is that, despite her knowing so much about what has happened over the last year and a bit, we have never actually met! It has genuinely felt like having the most amazing, incredibly well-informed pen pal — one who just happens to know all the details of your divorce and always knows exactly what advice and reassurance you need. The process was not straightforward, particularly towards the end when the financial settlement was repeatedly delayed, but Gemma continued to push matters forward and keep me informed. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and was doing everything she could to get matters resolved. I have finally received my settlement and can now properly move forward with the next chapter of my life. I am incredibly grateful to Gemma for helping me get to this point. Her professionalism, patience, knowledge and genuine care have made such a difference to me, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to anyone who finds themselves needing legal support through what can be an incredibly daunting process.

I needed a solicitor to handle the sale of my late brother in law. From first contact Sydney Mitchell provided a first rate service. Fees were clearly explained and the conveyancer handling the transaction, Laura, ensured I was kept realistically informed throughout doing her best to keep me grounded.

I was initially overwhelmed by the immigration process, but from our first consultation, Andre made everything feel manageable. He explained each stage clearly, was always available for anyone questions I had, and kept me informed throughout. I really appreciated how thorough and professional he was, while still making the process feel personal. His knowledge and attention to detail gave me complete confidence that my application was in good hands. I’m extremely grateful for his support and would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. The past six years have been remarkably stress-free, with every application handled seamlessly. I owe Andre a huge debt of gratitude for his expertise, support, and dedication throughout the entire process.
