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!

Kind, patient and straightforward

Thank you Julia, for all your assistance in helping to push through my mother’s house sale and purchase with patience, kindness and expertise. You were a voice of calm and sense when it was all going pear-shaped! And extremely responsive - I never had to chase for a reply from you, you were straight on it.

Thank goodness for Julia

Julia - I wanted to take the time to send you my sincere thanks for your understanding and empathy in handling the legal sale of my parents property. It’s been long and protracted ( in our eyes) but your support during pigeon gate and the roof guarantee delay was appreciated. I really appreciated your human side when I explained the unexpected loss of my sister and the impact of the delays to sellers aged nearly 85! I’m sure in your profession testimonials are usually more about efficiency, responsiveness and thoroughness, which I praise you on too, but being an empathetic human is much more of a compliment in my eyes. You represented the Churchill partnership really well and you were the ‘can do’ approach for us. Thanks from us all Carolyn, Anne & John

DMH Stallard and Group Property Partner, Becky Miller, acted for us in the purchase of a new property. The practice was friendly, efficient, highly competent and willing to engage in straight forward conversations whilst obviously knowing all aspects of law. It has been a pleasure to deal with such solicitors. Quite rare these days!

I instructed Danielle Castle at DMH Stallard to handle the sale of my house in Brighton and the purchase of a house in Newhaven. The process took over a year because of unexpected circumstances. At one point Danielle had to hand over to her colleague Becky Miller and her paralegal Julie Clark. This could have been a very anxious-making time, but I didn't need to worry. I was impressed by the smooth transition. At every turn Becky answered all my questions promptly and reassuringly. When the agents came up with a novel approach to the collapse of our chain, I asked Becky's advice before agreeing and her experience was invaluable in helping me to make a decision. I felt protected by her and I had full confidence in her knowledge and experience. Julie was conscientious throughout and incredibly helpful on completion day. I have no hesitation in recommending them all and I thank them very much for facilitating this move into my new home.

Many thanks to Abigail for all her hard work, sage advice and friendly approach throughout our flat purchase. We really appreciated her persistence in keeping the matter progressing to a successful conclusion amidst the vagaries of England & Wales conveyancing!

We couldn't have asked for a better solicitor than Shannon at DMH Stallard. She was exceptional throughout our flat purchase, handling every aspect with professionalism, expertise, and incredible attention to detail. She navigated several complex queries, left no stone unturned in her investigations and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Her thoroughness and dedication gave us complete confidence throughout the process. We are incredibly grateful for all her hard work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shannon to anyone looking for an outstanding conveyancing solicitor. Thank you Shannon!

Thank you to Mohammed Ahmed

Mohammed Ahmed dealt with the application for Grant of Probate for my father's estate. Owing to other issues, it was a little more complex than it should have been but Mo was very helpful, courteous and thorough when it came to sorting it out. I am very grateful for his assistance and have no hesitation in recommending him.

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.

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.
