Advice on police matter

I spoke to Dav on a fix fee 30 min advice. He was very clear on the legal side of things. He listened to what I had to say about my problem. He answered everything in a way which I could understand. If you need advice or help in anyway I would strongly recommend to go and see Dav. Many thanks.

Gemma sorted out an issue over a boundary at our property in an efficient manner. Keeping us informed along the way at each stage of the process. While it is never easy dealing with these issues she was excellent in her efficiency and communication throughout.

Our experience of working with Donna and Gemma on our sale and purchase was excellent. They truly live up to their motto of ‘a personal approach to law.’ I found their communication to be excellent which is one area where I have struggled with solicitors in the past. They were very willing to help explain things and and always did what they said they would, always returned calls and were able to use some of the modern technology (e.g. Google drive) which made my life much easier. Very good to work with.

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.
