Contentious Will and Probate

5

It was the first time my family had to engage with solicitors to represent us in a dispute against an individual. I was advised by a a close friend to go for a law firm that specialises in Wills and probate cases. Aristone came out top in my research. We made the right choice and we thoroughly recommend them to use for whatever legal matters you need representation on. We won't hesitate to use them again and even family and friends will use them if they need to.

Help with deed of variation / potential inheritance act claim

5

My family were in a stressful situation regarding a deed of variation which we were all in agreement with apart from one individual who was failing to understand the consequences of not signing.
The clarity of the communication from Patrick eventually achieved the outcome desired in every one’s best interest.
Patrick and Jenny were very responsive to any queries. They quickly understood the complexity of the situation and as well as being professional they were sympathetic to the emotional circumstances. My only regret is that I didn’t approach them sooner.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Aristones or instructing them myself in the future should any such need arise.

Patrick, your dedication and empathy were my guiding light in a distressing time of being unfairly left out of my father's will. Without your support, I might have given up. Pushing through the challenges was incredibly tough, and there were moments when I felt like calling it quits. But your commitment kept me going, and I'm so glad I persevered. Thank you for being there every step of the way.

Before my late father's will reached probate, it was contested by my sister. She placed a caveat on the will.
I contacted Aristone Solicitors - recommended by a close friend.
From the moment of contact I was carefully listened to and guided as to the best course of action.

The professional approach by Patrick Smith was second to none.

The case was protracted due to my sister. Aristone's professionalism has been exceptional. I was kept constantly in the loop, given brilliant advice and literally had my hand held when the case became particularly difficult.

I have been able to contact Patrick easily during working hours and he always responded quickly when I had any queries.

Had I not used Aristone Solicitors and been allocated Patrick I believe that justice may not have been done and my father's wishes not carried out.

I cannot thank Patrick and Mariyam enough.

Even though we had the unfortunate circumstance of having to require legal representation, Patrick Smith and his team were on hand to take calls and advise on every aspect of our legal dispute. His professionalism and knowledge of the legal system is second to none, and we were able to communicate on a level that was professional but also personal.
We would have no hesitation on recommending Aristonesolicitors.co.uk or Patrick Smith to anyone that needs legal assistance or advice.

Mariyam and Patrick were extremely kind and helpful regarding an impossible executor situation with another firm of solicitors, aka Grabbit & Fleecem. Should I need legal advice in the future, I will have no hesitation in contacting Aristone Solicitors. Thanks again.
