We chose Victoria as she had supported us when doing our wills and was amazing so when we needed advise regarding safeguarding my mother who has dementia we went straight to Victoria for help.
She was fabulous as always and so supportive.
I would recommend using smith and co solicitors for their outstanding service.

I would highly recommend Smith & Co Solicitors as a committed, dedicated team. I have had the pleasure of being supported by them with my case over the last year, the service provide was impeccable and professional all the way. As a single person the costs were transparent with a flexible approach with all payments without jeopardising the level of service provided. Vicky Hosking's has to be named of whom went that extra mile for me to receive a positive outcome with my case.
I would like to thank each member of the team from receptionist, to finance and all the legal team for their kindness and support. Carry on doing an amazing job!!!

I used Smith & Co for a divorce and family matters in 2019, and can not recommend them enough. Vicky Hosking and Keith Holland helped me through the whole process, both of them kind, supportive, clearly explaining what to expect, how processes would work, my options, time frames, etc. This kept me on an even keel through a very stressful time. They were very easy to work with, always had good, sound advice, and always responded promptly and efficiently to move my case along. I am very grateful to Vicky and Keith for making a difficult period as smooth as it was!
