Reflecting after a very long, exhausting and expensive divorce with this solicitor, originally whilst she was with Gotelee. I have come to realise that some advice was at best unhelpful and I did not feel supported through the protracted process. Mention needs to be made of the recommended Barrister who seemed ill prepared at an expensive detriment to my case. In the end I did end up in a much better position once the case was settled however, this was much due to actions I took independently.

My mother's will was difficult to understand because it involved a life interest trust and property. Lorna, our solicitor, explained and recommended how we should approach sorting it out very well.

Samantha was easy to talk to and covered everything asked in first one hour appointment, which was quickly confirmed in writing.
I will now be engaging her to deal with separation.

Injury damages claim to the big toe, I had an accident and the company refused to pay out. A friend put me in touch with one of the partners at Ellisons Solicitors (Stevan Stratton) and within a short while, they decided to take up my case on a no win no fee basis. I was assigned to Thomas and he was completely patient and communicated well to me on the timelines and possible expectations.
The communication line was really good and even when there was no update due to the other party's fault, Thomas always sent me an update on a regular basis. I have now received my pay out and I am super grateful to the team at Ellisons and especially to Thomas for a fantastic job.

In all our years dealing with solicitors for various things, we have never been so impressed as with Ellisons, but Carly in particular. She went the extra mile to ensure everything was dealt with correctly and we are so appreciative of that! Thank you!

Catherine did an amazing job at conveyancing our new property purchase. From the start communication was excellent. As a first time buyer I was daunted by the conveyancing process but Catherine did an outstanding job at explaining things to me and progressing the sale exceptionally fast. Thank you for an exceptional service and making the whole buying process stress free!

We have worked with Ellisons for a number of years now, specifically Ross Wiltshire and Devon, however we have used many other departments of Ellisons and always received a fantastic level of service. Very approachable, professional and friendly and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Audrey McKenna and Ellisons were exemplary when it came to the sale of our house, from start to finish. Everything was dealt with efficiently and politely, and completely business-like. We would hapily recommend Ellisons, and Audrey in particular, for conveyancing purposes
