Probate Performance

We employed Thornton Jones to carry out the probate process for my uncle’s estate as it was not a straightforward matter. Initially we were unhappy with the service as the appointed case solicitor left the firm and the replacement was also not able to give sufficient time/attention to the matter. However, following our complaint, Liz Fyfe took charge of the case and from then on we were very pleased with how things were handled and the eventual outcome. Liz gave very clear and wise counsel, always ensuring we were aware of possible consequences of the decisions we made. In addition, she and her assistant Ellie, were always approachable, helpful and friendly. They made a difficult and stressful period much more manageable.

Pensions/Trusts

Having made a decision to re write our pensions and also cancel the trusts we had in place we met with Melanie Pickering.Explaining our wishes was probably the most input we had to make. From that point on wards she made ever thing easy to understand, explaining the next steps in layman terms.
We would highly recommend her and the team at Thornton Jones without hesitation.

Excellent Service, Thank you!

Thank you so much to Alison Jewell and Rachele Marshall who both helped in our conveyancing with two properties. You helped us through a very stressful time as first time buyers and we are extremely thankful. Alison and Rachele were amazing throughout especially during the first conveyancing process which did not work out, offering help and reassurance. Alison went above and beyond and even helped us when searching for our second property. She looked at the house listings and provided us with information so that we would feel more confident going ahead. Both Alison and Rachele were quick to respond to any and all queries throughout.

A big thank you to Claire and Robyn who dealt with a house sale on behalf of myself and a ex partner.
They had a tedious of working between us and also on top of that a very slow and lacking conveyance solicitor of the buyers who made it almost impossible to be patient with.
All throughout the process we were both kept up to date and the girls made nothing less than all their efforts to move the sale along smoothly even with the buyers solicitor being useless at best.
They also made things clear to me in email or on the phone when there were things that didn’t make much sense (solicitor jargon) I couldn’t be any happier with all the work put in by Claire and Robyn.
If you need a conveyance solicitor Thornton Jones is the one to use and they will be my first call the next time I’m in need of a solicitor!
Thank you so much Claire ward and Robyn Grimbley, I wish you both all the best in the future and thank you for all your hard work!!

Rang, was given the option of "family" so I pressed 2, then asked the lady if I was in the right place and she had a very unprofessional manner about her. Then said "bye" in a very child-like manner, as if she was happy to get rid of someone looking for help. Poor.

Shelley wells was fantastic in assisting me with my divorce. She knew exactly what advise I needed and when. She always went that extra mile as without her I wouldn't have know where to turn. I would highly recommend Shelley and her team and would never go anywhere else now for legal representation or advise. Thornton and Jones are certainly the best Solicitors by far
