Will discrepancy

I recently used Gilles Dobson from Martin Tolhurst Solicitors for a Will that became contentious, I was not disappointed, Mr Dobson’s knowledge was second to none and he always responded quickly and in a manner that was easy for me to understand.

Nothing was too much trouble.

After a bad experience last year (seller pulling out) Gemma Nie kept in contact until we had another buyer. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Whenever I emailed she answered within the hour and if she was on annual leave her emails were answered regardless. Our sale this year took just over 5 months but Gemma kept us updated every step of the way. I would definitely use Martin Tolhurst again.

Excellent for a property lease extension

I had the pleasure of Paige Banks dealing with a lease extension for my property. I was apprehensive that the process would be stressful and complicated, based on dealing with my housing association. Paige made the whole transaction very smooth. She was quick to reply to correspondence and explained each step clearly.

I would not hesitate to recommend Martin Tolhurst to anyone choosing a solicitor for the same thing.

Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, Trustworthy, professional and competent.

Martin Tolhurst Solicitors have dealt with my complex issues that required their expertise and representation via barristers in court. Martin Tolhurst have been professional, supportive, honest and friendly. I have been able to build a trust and as such I have been to face and make some difficult choices, with their full support. I had a good result and as such I have been able to move on from the problems I originally faced. I am confident that if anyone needs a solicitor and legal advice, then I would recommend Martin Tolhurst Solicitor's. I will definitely use them again, if needed. Thank you very much for your help.

Great service provided on Commercial Lease - Highly Recommended

Denise expertly managed my commercial lease, with the utmost professionalism from the start. Her keen attention to detail and clear communication made the complex legal process smooth and manageable. She guided me patiently and expertly through every stage. Her responsiveness to enquiries and timely, thorough updates were especially appreciated.

Throughout the process, Denise's dedication to safeguarding my interests was evident, instilling confidence in her handling of all legal aspects. Her proactive approach in spotting and efficiently resolving potential issues was highly professional.

I am likely to choose Denise and Martin Tolhurst for any future legal matters and wholeheartedly recommend them.

Posting on behalf of my friend Linda who has used Martin Tolhurst for her will and found the staff so friendly and helpful especially as it was needed before Christmas so not much time. Tarisai who dealt with the will was so helpful and explained everything fully. Linda would definately recommend using Martin Tolhurst even more so when finding that they support an animal rescue. Namely The Retreat Animal Rescue

Ms Nie was really helpful, candid but approachable and very reassuring on what was a really stressful process. When unavailable, her secretary was also very helpful and able to assist in any queries that I had. I cannot speak highly enough of the job they did!
