Giles put my mind at ease straight away when I needed business advice quickly. With his professional, no nonsense approach he helped me to take decisive action swiftly. He made sure that I wasn’t taken ‘advantage of’ and most certainly saved me a considerable sum of money. Thank you Giles.

I have used Milners for many years, always providing me with excellent advice on my house sales and purchases, and family Wills. Advice given for various queries I have had over the years. Communication is first class and always achieved my request for completion on property bought and sold. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Support for application for running a business from home
Giles Ward was approach to support and give advice on an application to run a business from home.
The application was been given very restricted operation constraints by the local council.
Giles assembled the correct team quickly. Advice was given with options. The council was then presented with a compromise solution which they accepted. The application was then successful.

An excellent firm
I was first introduced to Giles Ward at Milners many years ago. As a firm they have always given sound advice, managed expectations and above all provided a first class service. When things got difficult, and times were tricky they have stepped up to the mark and have, on several occasions, won some important cases for us using careful legal arguments. An excellent firm, they give good advice and have great depth of support within their organisation. I highly commend them.

Outstanding
I’ve dealt with Milners on numerous occasions now, and they have been nothing but professional in every way. Giles Ward was and has been outstanding, giving great advice and helping through some difficult times, but somehow making them seem like nothing to be overly concerned about. I’d recommend wholeheartedly.
