Miracles do happen!

After dealing with our previous solicitor sitting on our house purchase file for 6 months we had nearly lost all hope... our mortgage offer was expiring, the sellers were about to pull out of selling their house and every solicitor we called couldn't help us...that was until we called Liz Dack from Whitehead Monckton.
Liz has been invaluable and a -send, without Liz and her vast experience and knowledge our house purchase would not have happened.
Liz was approachable, helpful, empathetic and kind and did the impossible. Liz went above and beyond, kept us updated every step of the way, explained what we didn't understand and now, we have just exchanged contracts (within two weeks of taking over our file!!) and completion is in a couple days! We are over the moon and cannot thank Liz and her team enough. Thank you so much Liz, miracles really do happen!

A big thank you to Liz and her team for handling our sale with a calm and steady approach. Always prompt to respond to requests and calm even when the buyers solicitors were slow to respond.

We have recently renewed our mirror wills with Cliona at Whitehead Monckton. Cliona was great to deal with; knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. She was able to give us clear guidance regarding a difficult detail of a family will situation which was a huge help. The whole team were good to deal with, it was all wrapped up quickly and with plenty of care and attention to detail.

From day one Chantal and her team at WM were helpful and accommodating.
When the process allowed they were on the ball and very ably dealt with the sale of my property.
On the whole a really great conveyancing experience.

Sam Shoesmith (Senior Dispute Solicitor)

Sam was my solicitor from June 2020 to June 2025, through covid and beyond. In the whole of the 5years Sam has always provided exemplary professional advice and always sound pragmatic options and ways to proceed.

I needed to find Sam when a family member engaged a solicitor as an attempt to try to force an early submission when I uncovered money being loaned over the previous 10 years before my father passed. They tried to say that it was gifted but all the paperwork and bank statements showed all the alleged moneys were clearly documented as being lent.

I needed to find a litigation solicitor, and ideallly a good litigation solicitor, there weren't that many around when I was looking. I asked around my network of contacts who had insight into the legal profession in/around kent.

Sams name came up from 2 or three people as an extremely competent and solid litigation solicitor that had had cut his teeth as a contract lawyer. This, I thought was an exceptional candidate, and had no concerns engaging Sam. This good feeling was only vindicated when we met to start, what would turn out to be, a 5yr journey.

Sams pragmatic, professional open and approachable manner was always on the money. This along with his prompt replies or informing communication (both eMail and when urgent or appropriate phone call) meant that at no time did I feel doubt or uncertainty in the way my case was being managed.

During the 5yrs yrs Sam has built his reputation in the Litigation field and advanced in his recognition to being a Senior Litigation Solicitor. This has been from when i engaged his services with CWJ in Orpington, through Knocker & Foskett in Sevenoaks to WM in Maidstone.

Sam in comparison to my assigned FamilyTrust solicitor, who was anything but knowledgeable or supportive, was the polar opposite.

In summary if you need initial advice, or to engage a solicitor in any form of dispute resolution, contact Sam and have an initial chat. Sam will always be there for you. Just for good measure Sams final bill was fair and given the amount of work less than it could have been. Every Penny very well invested into an exceptional litigation solicitor but also a genuinely caring and decent human being.

Thank you Sam you made something that is regularly a horror story into an informed, and nearly a pleasant, but always an informed and manageable experience

My experience with Whitehead Monckton was excellent. Everyone I was involved with was very professional, caring and competent. My solicitor was Sarah. I would recommend her highly. Totally professional, kind, caring and gets the job done. Sarah made me feel cared about and for. I couldn't have been in better hands. She is excellent at what she does, genuinely cares about you and what she does. If you can get her on your case....do

I have used WHM for just over 3 years on various issues ranging from employment law, a TLATA case but primarily on a family case. They have from day one been friendly, courteous, professional but most of all have shown a genuine care about my case. Sarah, Bethany, Victoria and Albert have been amazing throughout this extremely tough period and have helped me reach the outcomes I hoped for on all cases. I can’t thank them enough for all their help, advice, and support. I know solicitors often get a bad reputation but my experience of this company has been anything other than that and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks all
