My experience was with Tom Beattie who helped me through a tough time, I had never experienced it. He was there for me and reliable. He responded to my emails promptly and would definitely recommend Tom for anything employment. And the company itself I would recommend as all staff were friendly and accommodating. Thank you all for your help and Hannah who also helped. Thank you

Debt settling skills

Abbie and Leah managed to get settled reasonably quickly three out of four long-standing business debts that I sent to them. The debtors were all firms of solicitors. The one exception was a firm of solicitors in a limited liability partnership that had had gone out of business. I was pleasantly surprised that Ashtons succeeded in getting other three debts settled. In one such case, the debtor firm was already facing debt orders approaching €2 million, so I was surprised to receive any payment at all from them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Abbie and Leah for their debt settling skills. Their fees are reasonable. I only wish that I had turned to them sooner.

I came to Ashtons Legal for a Probate matter. They were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient and offered a first-class service. It was a smooth process; they acted with integrity, and I was kept fully aware of my matter. Ashtons were a pleasure to deal with, and I would recommend them and use them again.

The case was regarding a buisiness bankruptcy, not mine but resulting in a claim on my family home. I later discovered the solicitor I chose was inexperienced and not able to appear in court hearings. I was advised to use a barrister to represent me in the first of several hearings. It turned out to be in the wrong court so was dismissed. The barrister had to apologise to the judge for not being aware of new rules. I had to pay Ashtons the fee for that day amounting to approx. £2,400. My first instruction had been to keep my address abroad confidential, this was breached later as the case progressed. The opposing solicitors were calling the shots, my solicitor seemed in awe of them and even had to have them explain various points of law to her. The case dragged on for 18 months. The final insult was after the forced sale of my house. The final bill from Ashtons included an item ' Probate Fee' ( no one had died and this service was not required) I surmised it had been added to cover part of the final bill. In fact I did intend to withhold the payment until I could put forward my complaint. My house was sold for a fraction of the market value and 50% of the proceeds given to bankruptcy receivers. I put forward my complaint to a senior partner but it was not exactly a robust procedure, a panel of partners looked at it, I noticed one had the same surname as my solicitor . The points I mention here were not addressed. The breach of confidentiality, the Billing for an aborted court hearing, and false item of service which did not exist. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. My life savings were used up in legal fees amounting to 14k.

Hello - I'm sorry to read this, it certainly is not typical of the service we provide. If you would like to make contact with me I will look into the matter further and endeavour to resolve these issues. Please email me on dave.richardson@ashtonslegal.co.uk .

Thank you Michael

I came to Ashtons with a complex partnership dispute, and Michael Frape made all the difference. He is calm, clear and relentless, and he kept me steady through the stressful stretches by always explaining the reasoning behind his advice. He held firm on the points that counted, never overcomplicated things, and was genuinely sensitive to how much was riding on this for me and my family. He cared about the outcome in a real way. The rest of my dealings with the firm were a touch uneven, but Michael was first rate throughout, and he is the reason I would send anyone facing something similar his way. With heartfelt thanks.

Housing & Property

Property sale

Just sold a property with Ashton/Lauren acting on my behalf. Sale was a messy affair with buyer making demands, threats to pull out and at one stage just disappearing for few weeks. Lauren/Ashton legal kept me informed of all progress and managed to untie this knot of vipers. One of the most stand out feature is ease of access to communicate. I had email, office location and even phone number so any concerns could be sorted quickly and efficiently Lastly there was clear and direct communication between Ashton, estate agent and myself. Thank you too all staff at Ashton legal and to Lauren in particular. Ashtons have always granted the needed results and you bring credit to the firm.

Harriet Richardson @ Ashton’s solicitors is very professional and always kept us informed on progress with our present enquiry, Harriet was always quick to respond to any queries that we might have been concerned about.
