Outstanding Service.
Just had an excellent service from DTM Legal for the purchase of our house. It was not the easiest of purchases but Emily and Chloe were on the ball the whole way. Almost instant responses and as soon as they had something to do, it was done. Cannot recommend DTM Legal enough. Make them your first call. Kris

5 star class service
As a first time buyer I was overwhelmed with the whole process but Emily made everything clear, very attentive and I could contact her anytime which made everything so easy and put me at ease and she always got back to me I would not hesitate to go back to Emily at DTM Legal if I needed a solicitor again. Thank you Emily xx

Truly Excellent!
I have been dealing with an extremely stressful situation at work which included a variation to my contract of employment. Tom was the only person who made me feel fully supported throughout the experience. He explained things clearly, but without ever 'talking down' to me and I always felt that he truly had my best interests at heart. This enabled me to reach decisions on all aspects of the situation at work with which I am fully comfortable, and I feel much more confident and reassured about the years ahead. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone who needs legal advice or support for any matters relating to employment and, as much as I hope that I don't need legal employment advice in the future, I would not hesitate to get back in touch should it ever be needed. I am truly grateful and cannot praise the quality of service that I received highly enough.
A representative from DTM Legal LLP responded to this review on 07 July, 2025:
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback and have passed it along to Tom.

Outstanding professionalism, empathy and customer service.
Myself and a friend have both had dealings with Colette over the last few months. We have both found her to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and client-oriented whilst having a big human heart! She is a rare find in the legal world and I would recommend her without hesitation for family law legal work.

I would recommend her to any one and will 100% use in the future again!!

Emily and Kate have both been fantastic!! I have sold 3 properties and purchased 1 with them across 2023 and 2024 and every transaction has run smooth! Their attention to detail and enthusiasm to move cases forward in a efficient manner is unbeatable. I am a mortgage adviser and work alongside conveyancing solicitors on a daily basis with my job but I can honestly say, hand on heart that I have never come across a better duo than these two. Keep up the great work you two! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
