We worked with Samantha Smith on the sale of our property and she was brilliant - answered every question we had (no matter how many!) promptly and kept all communications regular and thorough. Thank you!

Samantha has helped us with three transactions in the last few months starting with the sale of our long term family house. We were very satisfied with the service she provided. Samantha was very straightforward to deal with and pragmatic in handling all three of our transactions. She was also realistic in setting expectations and made sure that she could deliver what she promised. We would happily recommend Samantha to others and plan to seek her assistance on a forthcoming transaction

Amazing service

We cannot recommend Julia Macey highly enough. She has helped us successfully purchase two houses and is currently supporting us with the sale of a flat—and every single time, she has been absolutely outstanding. Julia is incredibly on the ball, super responsive, and amazingly professional. She is straight to the point, proactive, and always one step ahead, which gives you real peace of mind during what can otherwise be a stressful process. Communication is clear, efficient, and timely—you always know exactly where things stand. We are very happy returning customers and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julia to anyone who wants their case handled with confidence, efficiency, and expertise. Truly exceptional service from start to finish.

Rachael and her team were extremely helpful

Solicitors scare me; they usually use terminology I don't understand and they can be very expensive. However, I had to use them because I was being denied money from my ex through a house sale and they helped me through the process of getting a fair financial consent order. I did gather quotes from other solicitors and although they weren't the cheapest, they were very fair! They took into account my low wage and the fact I had no savings. They tried to keep it as low cost as possible. What got me interested in using DMH Stallard was Rachael. She met with me on a teams call and I found her very personable. I was never made to feel like an idiot, she answered all my questions honestly and Rachael and her team were always contactable. They fought in my corner, gave me so much advise and explained anything I quired clearly. I highly recommend.

Professional and friendly

I highly recommend Jennifer Douglas, Associate Solicitor at DMH Stallard LLP, who provided help related to my divorce. She was very quick to get in touch. I felt that my meeting with her was very informative and subsequently, she gave advice that I found very useful. Thank you very much, Jennifer.

Too long, too expensive

Our experience with this firm when it was Griffith Smith was not very pleasant. We felt they did not respect our points of view, or barely listened to them, & the plethora of mistakes they made we were obliged to pay for. They also disregarded what was written in our statement, putting their own spin on it, & making it seem as if we were to blame. It took years for the company to resolve our issue & then they presented us with a huge bill. Not impressed.

Third time and always great

Julia Macey and her team have been my go-to solicitor for three sales and purchases. Very easy to communicate with and a straightforward approach, I highly recommend DMH stallard as a sensible alternative to the big on-line conveyancers sold to you by your commission based agent! Although so much is out of a conveyancers control, Julia and the team kept us well informed throughout. Thank you!

Emma Rose is simply incredible. In what can often feel like a stressful and stormy journey through the world of real estate, she is a true voice of reason, reassurance, and understanding. From the very beginning — even before signing with DMH Stallard — Emma made me feel that I had someone genuinely fighting my corner. No question ever feels too much for her, and she always responds quickly, with empathy, patience, and kindness. In an industry where communication and trust can sometimes feel lacking, Emma stands out for all the right reasons. From the outset, I felt completely confident placing my trust in her guidance and advice with every decision along the way. Professional, approachable, and deeply caring, Emma has made what could have been a very overwhelming experience feel manageable and supported. She is a real credit to DMH Stallard.

I worked with Alexei Zuyev on my Spouse Visa application. As someone who has been through two other immigration processes prior (on to Poland and another to the US) I can attest that this was by far the easiest process largely thanks to Alexei. Immigration processes can be very complex and stressful but he was extremely helpful and clear, an experience I have not had with immigration lawyers in the past. Absolutely recommend him and his firm for Spouse visa processing.
