Excellent service from start to finish
We used Ashtons Solicitors for Probate and found them very friendly, professional and approachable. Janette explained all the details of Probate to us in a Jannway that was easy to understand and supported us during the process, answering questions as they arose. We were very appreciative of how smoothly Janette & Stephanie handled our case at a very upsetting and difficult time. Thank you.

Great service
I spoke to several different members of staff. All good, all helpful, all available, all prompt. So great service, very satisfied, but not cheap.

Would always return to Ashtons for legal advice
We have now had several occasions to use the services offered by Ashtons Legal. They have helped us buy and sell properties, have settled a complicated estate and have helped with the writing and re-writing of our wills. I would always look to Ashtons first if I needed legal advice even though we have now moved to a different part of the country.

Clarifying the unknown
Having found myself unexpectedly, needing to decide the advantages against the disadvantages of applying for deputyship for a recently bereaved family member, I contacted Ashtons Legal. I spoke twice with Janette who gave sound, unbiased, clear explanation of both sides of the decision. She was calm, very knowledgeable, practical and impartial in her delivery of the law points. This was a very positive experience in helping me to reach my decision on whether to pursue the deputyship or not.

Great and prompt advice!
Janette prepared LPAs for my sister and I, and she acted with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Her responses were always timely and even after working hours help wasn’t a problem. I highly recommend Janette to anyone seeking this kind of advice
