Martin Tolhurst Solicitors have dealt with my complex issues that required their expertise and representation via barristers in court. Martin Tolhurst have been professional, supportive, honest and friendly. I have been able to build a trust and as such I have been to face and make some difficult choices, with their full support. I had a good result and as such I have been able to move on from the problems I originally faced. I am confident that if anyone needs a solicitor and legal advice, then I would recommend Martin Tolhurst Solicitor's. I will definitely use them again, if needed. Thank you very much for your help.

Property dispute

5

I was recommended Martin Tolhurst Partnership by my partner and they did not disappoint.
My case was one of a difficult nature, which lasted three and a half years. I contacted Martin Tolhurst in 2021, and my case was taken by Giles Dobson.
I have not had any dealings with solicitors or courts before, but Giles was very professional, could not of asked for anyone better to represent me.
I was happy with the outcome of my case, which would not have been possible without Giles.
I would highly recommend Martin Tolhurst for anyone looking for legal representation.

Very prompt responses and honest advice

5

Two solicitors from Martin Tolhurst have dealt with my divorce proceedings over the last 14 months (having wasted a stressful year with another practice). Ashley and latterly Giles have been wonderful in always being extremely prompt in replying to my enquiries, very helpful and supportive as well as being truthful and realistic in their assessments. They helped me through an incredibly stressful life episode and restored my faith in the legal profession.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’.
I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did.
I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

I have been a client of Giles Dobson of Martin Tolhurst Solictors through an acrimonious divorce, then several years later a difficult matrimonial settlement, during this time Giles has been very professional, friendly and approachable which gave me a lot of confidence whilst going through this. He had a perfect understanding of the problems I was encountering and matters were brought to a satisfactory conclusion as a result of the first class service I received throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
