Excellent service from Millie Schofield

My husband and I are so pleased we chose Millie to draw up reciprocal wills including a property protection trust for the benefit of our children. She was able to offer us a very fair fixed rate and an initial free discussion.
Millie is very friendly and approachable and answered our many questions, explaining patiently and clearly so we understood all aspects as well as raising our awareness of problems that might arise.
We found her to be competent and professional and she responded by email very promptly and efficiently.
Millie was a pleasure to work with and we have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and family.

Went above and beyond my expectations

I cannot recommend Milners Solicitors highly enough. From the very first contact, their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care stood out. They made a potentially stressful situation feel much more manageable, always offering clear guidance and expert advice.

Communication was consistent and reassuring, and I always felt fully supported and well-informed. The team truly went above and beyond, showing real dedication and attention to detail throughout. It’s rare to find a firm that combines such strong legal expertise with a personal, human approach.

Thank you to everyone at Milners — your support made all the difference.

Exceptional!!

I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding service I received from Milners Solicitors. From the very first contact, their team was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. They made what could have been a stressful legal process feel seamless and manageable.

Communication was always clear and timely—every question I had was answered with patience and expertise. I truly felt that my best interests were being looked after every step of the way. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence gave me complete confidence and peace of mind throughout.

It's rare to find a firm that combines deep legal knowledge with such genuine care and dedication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Milners Solicitors to anyone in need of trustworthy, high-quality legal representation.

Thank you to the entire team—you went above and beyond, and I’m truly grateful.

Giles is a rare type of solicitor - an absolute powerhouse, which is coupled with a clear commitment and compassion to achieving the very best for his clients. Giles’ dedication to detail is phenomenal and he takes a highly studious approach to his work. He takes the intimidation out of the intimidating, which translates to giving his clients absolute confidence, and importantly comfort, so you know you are getting the best quality support and advice, that it backed up by the most expert, authoritative and professional experience.

I turned to Giles when starting a new business. I was a complete novice regarding how to start a business and Giles was there for me to lean in whenever I needed. He is kind, thoroughly thoughtful and caring, as well as thought provoking and patient. Importantly, if Giles says he going to do something, it is done and delivered on time. I can't recommend Giles and his team highly enough.

First class service!

I have used Milners Solicitors on several occasions over the years for property services, a settlement agreement, and other legal advice, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Giles has always been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional throughout every matter I’ve needed assistance with.

He takes the time to explain things clearly, ensuring I fully understand my options, and he always goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome. I have complete confidence in his expertise and the quality of service provided by Milners.

If you’re looking for a reliable and professional solicitor who genuinely cares about your case, I would not hesitate to recommend Milners Solicitors.

We recently worked with Donna on the sale of our house and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From start to finish, they were incredibly efficient, responsive, and always on the ball. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble!

What really stood out to us was the level of reassurance and support we were given, especially during times when things slowed down or felt uncertain. Donna was always there to explain, chase things up when needed, and keep us informed, which made a huge difference to our peace of mind.

We’re so grateful for the clear communication throughout the whole process. We’re now working with Donna again on the purchase of our new home and feel completely happy and relaxed knowing we’re in such good hands.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a solicitor you can trust to get the job done smoothly and with care!
