Financial settlement and PSO

I had the good fortune of hiring Louisa Callaghan, both her and supporting team members were outstanding. Louisa's assistance over a 2 year period was invaluable, she held my hand and navigated me through a long and messy financial settlement, Louisa went above and beyond to ensure we presented a strong case, it's safe to say, the resulting win at court was fantastic.

Thank you Louisa.

Fantastic legal support and excellent result

My family and I are incredibly grateful for the exceptional service from Jake Gatley and James Musallam. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving the best possible result with our commercial dispute was second to none. They were approachable and offered sound advice at every stage of the process. Jake’s negotiation skills were impressive, and thanks to his hard work and expertise we managed to settle the case out of court for a fraction of the claim. We felt supported throughout the entire process and appreciated their prompt communication.

Thank you once again, Jake and James for your outstanding work. It made all the difference.

Straightforward renewal of wills

We needed to update our wills (mine and my wife's) which were over 28 years old. I discovered that Herrington Carmichael had acquired the company who prepared and held our old wills. I contacted Herrington Carmichael and was contacted by them. Their nearest office was in Ascot. So we arranged to meet someone based at Fanborough at the Ascot office. We had a lengthy and worthwhile discussion in order to agree what would be in the new wills. We were sent drafts of the wills which needed little change. We then had another short meeting at Ascot to sign the wills. All very straightforward.

4 weeks from instruction to exchange

Even during a time when many agents and solicitors typically warn clients in November that they won't be able to complete before Christmas, I was able to exchange contracts in under four weeks, securing my house purchase with completion set for early January.

Ellena was not only meticulous throughout the entire process, but she also took the time to explain everything in simple terms. This greatly facilitated navigating various stages of the purchase and empowered me to make informed decisions.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ellena to anyone looking to buy or sell in the future, and I will definitely rely on her for any legal matters going forward.

If you are looking for a solicitor, don't go anywhere else.

Outstanding service—thank you so much!

I recently sold my house and had been reccomended to use the Whitton office at Bonnets Solicitors.
I was very pleased with the services provided by the team there, in particular 'Jas' who took care of most of the relevant dealings.
She offered a very professional service and I was kept fully informed with the progress at every stage of the sale!

I would have no hesitation in highly recommending to anyone selling their house in the Whitton / Twickenham area
