Went above and beyond my expectations

5

I cannot recommend Milners Solicitors highly enough. From the very first contact, their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care stood out. They made a potentially stressful situation feel much more manageable, always offering clear guidance and expert advice.

Communication was consistent and reassuring, and I always felt fully supported and well-informed. The team truly went above and beyond, showing real dedication and attention to detail throughout. It’s rare to find a firm that combines such strong legal expertise with a personal, human approach.

Thank you to everyone at Milners — your support made all the difference.

I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding service I received from Milners Solicitors. From the very first contact, their team was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. They made what could have been a stressful legal process feel seamless and manageable.

Communication was always clear and timely—every question I had was answered with patience and expertise. I truly felt that my best interests were being looked after every step of the way. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence gave me complete confidence and peace of mind throughout.

It's rare to find a firm that combines deep legal knowledge with such genuine care and dedication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Milners Solicitors to anyone in need of trustworthy, high-quality legal representation.

Thank you to the entire team—you went above and beyond, and I’m truly grateful.

First class

5

Giles is a rare type of solicitor - an absolute powerhouse, which is coupled with a clear commitment and compassion to achieving the very best for his clients. Giles’ dedication to detail is phenomenal and he takes a highly studious approach to his work. He takes the intimidation out of the intimidating, which translates to giving his clients absolute confidence, and importantly comfort, so you know you are getting the best quality support and advice, that it backed up by the most expert, authoritative and professional experience.

I turned to Giles when starting a new business. I was a complete novice regarding how to start a business and Giles was there for me to lean in whenever I needed. He is kind, thoroughly thoughtful and caring, as well as thought provoking and patient. Importantly, if Giles says he going to do something, it is done and delivered on time. I can't recommend Giles and his team highly enough.

Accident at work

Dylan and Giles assisted me with legal matters following an accident at work in 2020. They were always helpful and communicative, and we got a better outcome than originally anticipated.

First class service!

I have used Milners Solicitors on several occasions over the years for property services, a settlement agreement, and other legal advice, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Giles has always been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional throughout every matter I’ve needed assistance with.

He takes the time to explain things clearly, ensuring I fully understand my options, and he always goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome. I have complete confidence in his expertise and the quality of service provided by Milners.

If you’re looking for a reliable and professional solicitor who genuinely cares about your case, I would not hesitate to recommend Milners Solicitors.

Great service

5

We have been looked after by Milner's for the last 25 years on both commercial and personnel matters and they have always been exceptional. They offer sound advice and provide clear guidance. Importantly, because they have specialists in many areas they can offer a complete service with better insight into companies and the people.

Family Solicitor

I have used Milners for many years, always providing me with excellent advice on my house sales and purchases, and family Wills. Advice given for various queries I have had over the years. Communication is first class and always achieved my request for completion on property bought and sold. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We have worked with Giles Ward of Milners for over 20 years, and his work and attention to detail has been excellent. He has worked on several important issues with us whilst we were growing our business. Couldn’t recommend both Giles and Milners Solicitors more.

Giles put my mind at ease straight away when I needed business advice quickly. With his professional, no nonsense approach he helped me to take decisive action swiftly. He made sure that I wasn’t taken ‘advantage of’ and most certainly saved me a considerable sum of money. Thank you Giles.

Highly professional and knowledgeable service at very short notice of my hearing.
Got the best result I could have hoped for with the expertise of Giles.
Couldn’t be more pleased.
