Mr Lewis was able to guide both myself and my mother through the forms for the matter at hand. He explained everything we were unsure of and treated us with dignity and respect. Mr Lewis was knowledgeable about my Mother, the main client, and anything we wanted advice on, he was able to give. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Lewis and will continue to use Mr Lewis for all other matters.

I would highly recommend Daniela Coehlo

Daniela helped us buy our cottage. She was very professional but also friendly throughout the process.

It was clear she cared about her work and the outcome for her clients. She answered all questions promptly by email and phone. She took time to answer any questions and address any concerns.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Amicus Law administered an estate where I was one of the executors and I found them to be very approachable from the outset. I was kept updated at all times and the matter was completed well within the time estimate they had given me. There were a number of complicated issues which arose during the administration of the estate, and these were fully and clearly explained to me, which enabled me to make the necessary decision without feeling I would be second guessed as to how I fulfilled my role as executor at a later date. I would highly recommend them if you would like a hassle free and reasonably priced reliable service.

A representative from AmicusLaw Solicitors responded to this review on 17 February, 2025:

Dear Stephen, Thank you for your kind review and for sharing your experience with Amicus Law. We’re so pleased to hear that you found our team approachable and that we were able to guide you through the estate administration process smoothly. We understand that dealing with an estate can be complex, so it’s great to know that our clear communication and support helped you feel confident in your role as executor. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate your kind words. If we can be of any further assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards Amicus Law

Above and beyond - Victoria Saunders was put in the hot seat at extremely short notice and what had taken nearly a month to complete previously from a different firm, she completed in less than 24hours - amazing, thank you.

Friendly, approachable, efficient and informative at every level. The stress of this minefield was completely taken off my shoulders and I can’t thank you all enough, particularly you Victoria. 🙏

Working as a photographer for Amicus Law has been an absolute joy! From the moment I started, their team welcomed me with open arms, making me feel right at home. Everyone at Amicus Law is not only highly professional but also incredibly friendly and easy to get on with, which made my job feel effortless. The team’s warmth and positive energy created such a relaxed atmosphere, and they were always open to ideas and collaboration.

Their locations across Somerset are another bonus – each one is easily accessible and beautifully maintained, making my work even more enjoyable. Every site had its own charm, but they all shared the same welcoming environment that Amicus Law is clearly known for.

If you’re looking to work with a firm that values kindness and professionalism in equal measure, I can’t recommend Amicus Law highly enough.

A representative from AmicusLaw Solicitors responded to this review on 14 August, 2024:

Dear Darren, Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you as well. We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience with our team and found our work environment welcoming and collaborative. We’re glad you’ve enjoyed working across our locations in Somerset, and it’s great to hear that the charm of each site added to your experience. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we look forward to many more collaborations in the future! Thank you again for being a part of our journey. Kind regards AmicusLaw
