I would highly recommend this Company, I was recently faced with sorting a very delicate legal matter after the death of my husband. Deanne Taylor and her personal assistant Lynne Tomkins dealt with this for me. Their compassion and professionalism made, what was a very distressing time, so much easier. They were both very kind and knowledgeable, exactly what you need in these situations. Thank you both.

I would just like to say a huge 'Thank you' to all at Smalley's Solicitors. A very professional service from start to finish.The Will 's and Probate Team are second to none. My husband met with Deanne, who explained the process to him, regarding my late mothers will. Lynne and Grace were my main contacts throughout our process.Lynne was absolutely lovely, explaining each step of our process, we were in uncharted waters, and we got the professional help we needed.Lynne is an absolute darling and so helpful.If you need a good Solicitors, Smalleys are the ones. You won't find better.Thank you so much for everything.

I have recently used Smalleys to draft a Declaration of Trust for a change in share ownership on a property. Marcia and Katie handled everything for me and they were quick to reply to emails and change anything I needed changing. Katie dealt with the signing and witnessing and she was lovely and friendly and immediately put us at our ease. Thank you
