    Client relations department

    I have been working with the client relations team at Thornton Jones Solicitors since the department was established - and throughout that time they have provided a warm, personable service both to myself as a mortgage broker, but also our clients who have used their services, primarily residential property, but also will writing and estate planning as well. I can be confident that when I refer clients to them, that they will be dealt with in an efficient and professional manner, something which is particularly important when you are undertaking a property purchase, which can often prove stressful

    from Thornton Jones Solicitors

    Thank you, Luke! We value our partnership with you, and it's awesome to hear that our team delivers the professional and personable service you and your clients expect. Take care.

    Probate house sale

    Maria handled the sale of my late father’s home, and throughout the entire process she was professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. All queries were answered promptly, with confidence and reassurance, and emails and telephone calls were always returned quickly. During what was a very difficult and emotional time for our family, Maria made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. If I had to summarise our experience, I would say that Maria is an outstanding, customer-focused professional who provides exceptional service and would highly recommend her.

    Professional and Thorough Service

    I recently used this firm to prepare my will and was extremely pleased with the service I received. The solicitors were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making what could have been a complicated process straightforward and stress-free. They listened carefully to my wishes, provided helpful advice, and ensured that every detail was handled thoroughly and efficiently. Communication was excellent throughout, and I felt confident that my affairs were in safe hands. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal services, particularly for will writing and estate planning.

    We normally go to a larger solicitors for all our services but due to the other buyer being the executor we needed to find another solicitor. I did what I usually do and asked on Facebook for advice and Thornton Jones came up as a good local solicitor for house moves, so we connected with them. We had quite a complicated house move (well if felt complicated to me, but it might have been normal to them) with probate taking much longer than expected and lots of miscommunications with the executor also being the solicitor from the other firm. But Anna and Olivia dealt with them all in a calm, reassuring way. I would not hesitate to recommend them for house moves, their knowledge and expertise was incredible and reassuring. Making sure that every little detail was checked off before willing to proceed. I really hope not to move again, but I would certainly use again if I am crazy enough to attempt it! Thank you ladies for making such a stressful event as smooth as possible.

    I used Thornton Jones Solicitors in Wakefield to help put my Mum`s affairs in order, Sarah and her colleague called out to see my Mum personally on two occasions to make sure everything was explained clearly, they were very patient as Mum is hard of hearing, they talked her through the documents to make sure her wishes were met. Mum was very satisfied with the work that was carried out and how Sarah and her colleague took the time to call to her home giving her that personal service. The final documents were created then signed and delivered out swiftly. I would definitely recommend Thornton Jones for legal advice as they were recommended to me by a friend. Regards Mr Brown

      I had used Thornton Jones for the first time to purchase some land adjacent to where I live and Stuart Knox provided a great service. I have now used them again to sell my brother's house and Alison and Rachele have also provide an excellent service. The sale went through with no problems and they gave great advice. Costs were very reasonable too. I can recommend Thornton Jones and will not hesitate to use them again.
