Professional Solicitor

Sahdia Malik took on my case. She is friendly, professional and broke down the dispute in to terms I could understand.
She was very proficient in her work and every step of the way she would call me and explain what was going on.
If I ever have a legal dispute again Sahdia will be the solicitor I first call.
Your find it hard to find a better solicitor.

We have both used Whitehead Monckton in the past arranging Deputyship and sorting out fairly complicated wills (and lack of) for various members of our family. In each case this was handled by Andrea Houston and her team in a most professional way,which is why when it came to sorting our own Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney we made the same choice again.

Helpful and knowledgeable

I was helped with a simultaneous sale and purchase, neither of which was completely straightforward. Chantal was very knowledgeable and helpful, and I was particularly impressed with her on the day of completion. There are always frustrations with conveyancing solicitors, I think, but they were minimal for me in this case and, for the money, they did a good job.

Professional in every aspect

Chantal was clear and helpful in every respect. She dealt with my deafness with such kindness, never making it seem a problem. Out of all the people I have had to deal with during the procedure she is the only one I felt I could fully trust. If I emailed with a question she would always reply the same day.

The team at Whitehead Monckton were fantastic in dealing with a very complex case of mine.

I was specifically dealing with Melissa Markham, whom was extremely professional, knowledgeable and reassuring... Melissa acted in a very timely manner and kept me in the loop 100% of the journey. I couldn't have been more pleased.

I would highly recommend this company, and specifically Melissa.

Thank you all at WM.

There’s no one more professional than Veronica Fox at Eclipse HR. Over the years she has helped me as an employee and more recently as an employer. Her advice is always calm, considered and there is no one else I would use or recommend

My experience with Whitehead Monckton has been extremely positive. I have found the team to be highly knowledgeable and experienced. They have supported me through my case with care, compassion and understanding. The whole team including Graham, Lawrence, Neha, Emily and Bethany, have been consistently professional over the past couple of years that I have used the service. Their legal insight has always been on point and I have complete faith in the team, such that I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to others.
