Legal Claim against me regarding a disputed loan

I had a complex loan arrangement with my ex-wife, and she took legal action against me seeking considerable sums of money to resolve her claims. The complexity of the original loan and subsequent adjustments, combined with a divorced couple’s emotions appeared to be challenging situation. Mr Newton was able to review all past documentation provided by both sides to establish the tenuous legal basis of my ex-wife’s claim and provide strong arguments in my favour. He also explained my defence in law, and the advantages and risks going forward. Through his detailed presentation of the facts, and past events, as determined under the law, we were able to settle for a very acceptable sum and the matter was concluded quickly, to my great satisfaction and appreciation.

I'm glad we went with Wolferstans. Any queries we had were answered quickly and clearly, and the guidance through the whole process was much appreciated as first time buyers. Would definitely recommend.

Special thanks to Carol and Sophie, and for the card we received in the post.

We found Danielle Penrose to be a friendly, knowledgeable and straight talking solicitor who did what she said she was going to do.

The process ran smoothlessly and quickly.

Would highly recommend Danielle Penrose to my family and friends.

Perfect Service

We needed to alter our wills and ask about property trusts. We had previously dealt with Wolferstans. Our solicitor Mrs Banner talked us through what we required and made sure we understood what our new wills entailed. Receptionists were welcoming and our appointments were always on time and telephone conversations were helpful.

Review of Divorce Lawyer Vikki Martin

I cannot recommend Vikki enough - she helped me navigate my way through a divorce in a sensitive and professional manner - exactly the approach I needed. She listened to what I was saying and then provided tailor made and informed advice in a format that I understood and was able to implement. I always felt she was fair and honest around my options and never did I feel she was trying to sell me any service / advice that I didn't need. She helped me manage the divorce in a timely way and never missed a beat with the process - my brief was to get it done as quickly as possible! All in all from the date I told my husband I was going to divorce him to the date the final order came through and all financial agreements were in place was just less than 10 months. I am grateful for the service I received in what was a very difficult time in my life - thank you

Smooth, Stress-Free Sale – Highly Recommend!

I recently used Wolferstans (Plymouth) for the sale of my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Sophie Farrant and Carol Foster. From our first interaction to final settlement, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient.

They kept me informed at every stage of the process, explained everything clearly, and handled all the paperwork with care and precision. What could have been a stressful time was made easy thanks to their calm approach and excellent communication.

I was especially impressed with how quickly they responded to queries—both from me and the buyer’s side—and how smoothly they managed all the legal aspects of the sale. Everything was done on time, with no hidden surprises.

I highly recommend Wolferstans, Sophie and Carol, to anyone selling their home. They made the entire experience straightforward and worry-free. Thank you for your fantastic service!

I highly recommend this firm. Very professional, friendly and communicated extremely well, using no 'legalise'. Linda Woollams helped me through the entire process and she is so good at her job it's obvious she has more knowledge than most other solicitors appear to know.
