Ruth is amazing...

For the past 3 years you have supported both me and Ruby with so much paperwork, so many phone calls, multiple application forms, and complicated stuff that we did not understand. We cannot thank you enough. You have been part of my support network, and I will miss you dearly. You are simply fabulous. Your knowledge base is like an encyclopedia, your people skills are amazing, and I thank you for all of the times I cried on the phone, or didn't understand, or didn't reply because I couldn't face it. You are a phenomenal human being, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything that you have done for us. Thank you Ruth :-) x x x

The team in Ashton's legal have been nothing short of professional and have gone above and beyond to see our case to fruition. I do not have enough words to express how great the whole team has been for me and my family in our nearly a decade long journey together. Very transparent with the process. Will recommend Ashton's to anyone, especially if it's a medical negligence case. Great professional. Great service 👍

Excellent service from start to finish! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a really positive experience with Kate and the team (Kim Clapham, Abby Dalziel, Lauren Briggs and Sienna Vincent) at Ashtons Legal while handling both the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. From start to finish, the communication was excellent, and their response times were consistently quick. We always felt kept informed and knew we could get in touch whenever we had a question or needed an update. Kate and her team were professional, efficient and reassuring throughout what can be quite a stressful process. They handled everything smoothly and made the whole experience much easier for us. We would definitely recommend Kate and the team at Ashtons Legal to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing team. Thank you for all your hard work! 😊

A difficult experience made easier

Loren guided me through the probate maze following the death of my mother. It was a somewhat complicated process, which I, as most of us are, was ignorant of. Loren advised me clearly and concisely and was there for all the daft questions I had. A very knowledgeable and personable young lady who I have no hesitation in recommending.

Dear Sir/Madam, Formal Complaint – Failure to Provide a Quotation and Poor Communication I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I received from Ashtons Legal’s Bury St Edmunds office regarding a proposed commercial property transaction. Over a period of approximately two weeks, I contacted your office on three separate occasions to chase a quotation for the legal work associated with the purchase. On each occasion, your reception staff advised that they would escalate my concerns and ask the relevant team to contact me. Despite these assurances, I received no return call, quotation or meaningful update. A commercial property transaction requires prompt and dependable professional support. Having to repeatedly chase a firm simply to obtain an initial quotation gave me no confidence that my transaction would be handled with the necessary urgency or level of communication. As a result, I have decided to instruct one of your competitors. It is extremely disappointing that Ashtons Legal lost the opportunity to act for me, not because of the proposed fees or complexity of the transaction, but because nobody took the time to respond. Based on my experience, I could not recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone requiring a responsive and reliable legal service. Unless prospective clients have several months to spare and are prepared to continually chase for updates, they may be better advised to approach another firm. I would appreciate confirmation that this complaint has been recorded and reviewed by the appropriate person within the firm. Yours faithfully, Paul Hewett

I would highly recommend Ashtons Legal for their outstanding service and support throughout our house purchase. A special thank you to Andrew Skuse and Rachel Chilton, who were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their professionalism, expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. They went above and beyond to help ensure everything was handled smoothly and, ultimately, made our house purchase possible. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew, Rachel, and the team at Ashtons Legal to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and supportive legal team. Thank you once again for everything!
