Caring

5

Emma and Rhiannon were always so kind caring & patient. It was naturally very difficult because it concerned loss of my dad but also I was very ill & had severe personal problems but they never put me under pressure & were very understanding & kind. They were extremely professional, competent. Excellent service., everything done v well. They worked between 2 countries. I'm extremely grateful to them both

So far so great, The customer service was outstanding, and the legal representation was above what I was expecting what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service I received from Thomas Mansfield Solicitors. They went above and beyond to help me avoid a disastrous outcome and continue to diligently work to help me archive a qualitative outcome for my mother’s estate. Special thanks to Alice, Emma, Fin and Dalia. Thank you for all you do to help us get our legal administrations on a straight and narrow. Keep up the great work

Brilliant service

5

I had the estates of two relatives to deal with, complicated by my lack of expertise and knowledge. I received excellent advice throughout the time it took to sort these matters out - and all through the Covid-lockdown period too. From the outset I knew I could make contact by phone or email to get questions answered or things clarified and these were all dealt with in a very timely way.

My father died in December 2020 and I was given the onerous task of applying for Probate. This was the first time I have ever completed the vast expanse of documentation but I was determined that I would complete the forms and then use a solicitor to check everything was in order before submission to the HRMC. I phoned around a number of companies that I had not used before and stumbled on a company called Thomas Mansfield solicitors. Unlike most of those companies I tried, Thomas Mansfield sounded genuinely interested and they offered a fixed price. I accepted their offer and was immediately put in contact with the solicitor who would work with me. Like many Probate applications, the process was far more complicated than initially anticipated and the HMRC managed to elongate the time frame with incessant questions. I am so pleased I used this firm of solicitors as my lawyer was 'on the ball' with every question or concern and we got through it. If you need to use a solicitor and you are looking for a company that genuinely cares about your case, acts quickly to HRMC communications, has a sense of humour and is a joy to work with then go no further than using Thomas Mansfield Solicitors

Would recommend without hesitation

Emma has been so helpful with all of our dealings with a property transfer as has Molly. We can't thank them enough for their patience and understanding as the process started as a simple transfer then, through no fault of theirs, became more complicated . They have been wonderful and would recommend Thomas Mansfield without hesitation.

Excellent experience

5

The whole process could not have been easier. When I first contacted Thomas Mansfield it was suggested that it was all done on the phone or zoom. My wife and I wanted a personal contact and this was quickly arranged. There were long and sometimes obscure forms to complete, but we did these and then had a meeting with Emma Howlett. She was/is charming, efficient and a lovely person to deal with. Most professional. In all an excellent experience.

Would not hesitate to recommend

They were prompt and efficient in dealing with my request . Also did not try to complicate or try to sell unnecessary services.Also good value in comparison with other quotes. But most importantly , due to the nature of the service they were providing ( due to a bereavement) they were kind , respectful & compassionate in their correspondence with me . Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you

My mother in laws will had a trust written into it, that was enacted upon her death, and I needed some guidance on whether this counted as an exemption for IHT purposes. Having contacted Thomas Mansfield, I was very impressed with thier helpful and speedy response. Emma Howlett responded to my query professionally and helpfully, with some clear advice, which in the end proved all I needed. Such a refreshing change to most solicitors who only want to squeeze as much money out of you as possible.
