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.

Helen Rowe and her assistant Emma Rose were very professional and expedient in handling the legals related to the sale of my elderly father’s flat in Hove. U.K. spring of 1996. Helen was extraordinarily supportive of me during this process as I was managing the sale of my father’s flat with its complicated new Leasehold agreement from Canada while simultaneously settling my failing father into a Care Home here. Helen helped me do a lot of the paperwork in advance while I was in the U.K. and then gave me a lot of extra support as the real estate and legal terminology and related paperwork were very different than how things work in Canada. She could not have been more patient. I highly recommend the legal services of Helen Rowe, Emma Rose of DMH Stallard.
Lucy at DMH Stallard has made selling my mothers house as LPA holder simple, quick and easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
First class support from Michael Derrick on IHT issues and cross-border estate planning. Thanks, Michael!
I recently had a very productive consultation with Eleanor White, a contentious probate solicitor at the Brighton office. She was easy to communicate with, listened attentively to my concerns, and showed genuine empathy regarding a difficult family inheritance dispute. Her professionalism and expertise gave me confidence in the advice provided. I would highly recommend her services.
We instructed DMH Stallard in relation to a difficult and emotionally challenging contentious probate matter. From the outset, the team provided calm, clear and practical advice, helping us navigate a complex process with professionalism and care. They were responsive, strategic and reassuring throughout, balancing strong legal guidance with a sensitive understanding of the personal issues involved. Their support helped us reach closure on a matter that had placed significant strain on our family. We are very grateful for their advice, persistence and professionalism, and would not hesitate to recommend DMH Stallard to anyone facing a complex probate dispute.

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.

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.
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.
My partner and I used DMH Stallard for purchasing our first property and our experience was great. Our solicitor Abby, was communicative and thorough. She was always ready to answer any of our questions, in a timely, detailed manner. Her professionalism and attentiveness made us comfortable in knowing that we had the best solicitor in our chain. I've already started recommending DMH Stallard to my friends and will definitely use them for our next property purchase.

Abby was fantastic from start to finish. We couldn’t fault how attentive, knowledgeable and caring she was, and can’t imagine how different our experience could have been with someone else. Abby’s attention to detail, consideration when keeping us informed as to what was going on, and proactivity in making sure we were several steps ahead of everyone else in our chain made our experience as first time buyers so positive and as stress-free as it possibly could be. We will 100% use Abby and DMH Stallard again in the future— thank you so much!
