Outstanding quality of service

Recently we've dealt with 2 other firms of solicitors and the manner in which Maples (J Dobbs) dealt with our needs was head and shoulders above the other firms,

Legal services provided by Maples

Have used Maples services over the last few years including my will and the sale and conveyancing for my house over the last few months. I have also used them for advice on legal disputes. I have also received practical and friendly advice. I would not hesitate in using Maples again and recommend them for whatever legal services or advice you require.

INSURANCE COVER

On November 14th, at 11am ,I met with Mr. D Naghen. to discuss my concerns relating to motor insurance Cover which have arisen since my motoring ban (6 months )which was completed on October 16th,2024.
Mr Naghen prepared me to meet local Magistrates regarding this offence, last April, for which I am grateful.
Although I continue to confront problems in searching-out new motor insurance, I am happy to comment positively, about Mr. Naghen's service last week. I now have a clear ,plan of action', and am hopeful it will be successful soon.
Thankyou .

I was afforded a good full hour, to discuss my concerns, and received good advice from Daven.this week
Hopefully, i will find a new policy

Couldn't have wished for a more accessible, friendly and helpful person than Jamie Dobbs. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anybody. I wish all solicitors were as efficient!

I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. We have been waiting for 18 months for a transfer of land, a simple procedure, no searches, just a transfer. On multiple occasions we have been told we haven't handed paperwork to them, to be then advised "awh, we've found it". This is terrible service, terrible communication, terrible administration. Do not use this company!!!

Excellent Solicitors. Friendly, professional, proactive service with timely results & reasonable prices. Quoted me approximately £3000 to administer my wife's estate, there being no enforceable will & to transfer property into my name which necessitated a full conveyance & mortgage arrangement. The final invoice was nearer £2000 ! Happy Days !!!😁

About this branch

Description

Maples Solicitors LLP (originally Maples & Son) was founded in the late 1820’s by Ashley Maples (1806-1886) (pictured top left) who for over 50 years was one of the most prominent figures in the public life of Spalding. He was a member of the Spalding Improvement Board (a predecessor of the District Council), Clerk to the Spalding Guardians (who ran the Workhouse) and a Town Husband. Further, he was Superintendent Registrar and for many years the offices of Maples & Son were the Registry Office for Spalding and District; the last link between these organisations only ceasing in 2005, so that many Registry Office weddings were conducted in our building. HE was also a Feoffee of the Spalding Living (that is, one of the Trustees who appointed the Vicar of Spalding), Governor of the Moulton Endowed School and Treasurer of the Spalding Gentleman’s Society; organisations which the firm continues to be associated with as Clerk and/or Legal Advisor to this day.
