Ashtons is very trustworthy and reliable. I needed quick advice with a strict budget and was very satisfied. I had an initial consult with Michael who quickly identified my needs with precision and relevant knowledge. We agreed high level, strategic advice was more valuable than detailed legal research, which ended up exactly suiting my needs and staying within budget. Additionally client care was great and I felt looked after throughout - thoroughly recommend.

High quality, practical advice
I have sought advice from Michael at Ashtons previously, and with my most recent experience I have been similarly very satisfied. A key factor in my choice to take advice from Michael is that he takes a very practical approach and looks not just to take my instruction at face value and provide an answer, but he also probes to fully understand the underlying matters and ensures that the advice I receive is the most relevant and useful. Thoroughly recommend.

Good advice instead of what I wanted to hear
I used Ashton's services years ago and was very satisfied. More recently I used another firm on the advice of a friend. This turned out to be a very bad decision. I ended up fighting a high court action which I lost. Looking back at it, it was clear that these lawyers just played my anger in order to maximise their fees.
When I recently required legal support, I turned to Ashton's again. Micael Frape was assigned to advise me. I was adamant that I wanted to sue my ex-business partner but Michael very calmly advised me, that as things stood, I would just be wasting my money. This made me step back and reassess the situation. His advice was certainly not what I had expected, but it was good advice which I heeded. I asked him to put the matter on ice for the time being. Michael was happy to keep the file open, so that we can reengage when we reach a point where it is worth taking legal action.

Delivering a service beyond my expectations
My company was legally threatened over a matter which initially we thought was both unfair and without basis. As the action went on it became clear that the claimant was perfectly serious even though the case was essentially baseless. Michael settled the matter through mediation and beyond doubt limited the impact on our business significantly. Although we ended up paying some money to the claimant it was significantly less and was in the end proved to be a nuisance claim. We thank Michael and his team for all their hard work on the matter.

Excellent work on a professional negligence claim
Michael Frape of Ashtons Legal provided excellent service on a professional negligence claim. He very diligently and thoroughly put together and pursued the initial stages of the claim, with attention to detail, always dealing with the case personally. Fees were adapted to reflect the nature and size of the case. Michael was compelled to give up the case on grounds of economics, but he gave time to complete the task in hand before the handover to my new solicitor and ensured that went smoothly. Eventually a settlement of the case was obtained and this was in part due to Ashtons Legal's excellent work.
