Excellent advice, they really helped me when I was desperate, I would recommend them to anyone
Georgina Smith
Julia and Joanna have been amazing throughout the conveyancing process of our first home. Quick to respond and available on the phone to explain tricky processes. I approached Julia after she had been recommended by both my mum and grandmother, so she’s certainly made a positive impact on my family! Thank you both for your expertise during this big life event ☺️
Jane Kennedy
An excellent service. Very efficient and fantastic communication from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Charles Badgery
My partner and I used DMH Stallard for purchasing our first property and our experience was great.Our solicitor Abby, was communicative and thorough. She was always ready to answer any of our questions, in a timely, detailed manner. Her professionalism and attentiveness made us comfortable in knowing that we had the best solicitor in our chain.I’ve already started recommending DMH Stallard to my friends and will definitely use them for our next property purchase.
Megan V
Abby was fantastic from start to finish. We couldn’t fault how attentive, knowledgeable and caring she was, and can’t imagine how different our experience could have been with someone else. Abby’s attention to detail, consideration when keeping us informed as to what was going on, and proactivity in making sure we were several steps ahead of everyone else in our chain made our experience as first time buyers so positive and as stress-free as it possibly could be. We will 100% use Abby and DMH Stallard again in the future— thank you so much!
Peter Davison
Super efficient and excellent comms
william cantwell
Very good advice
Michael Laker
I contacted DMH Stallard and was offered a free thirty minute initial consultation regarding a complex probate matter involving the interpretation of a will and a family dispute. From the outset, Eleanor was approachable, compassionate and extremely professional.Rather than giving a quick opinion, she carefully considered the documents I had provided and even discussed the matter with a colleague before coming back to me. Although the advice was not what I had hoped to hear, I greatly appreciated the honesty and integrity of her assessment. It gave me confidence that every aspect of my case had been properly considered before she advised that there was no realistic legal remedy available.Throughout the consultation I never felt rushed, and Eleanor explained the legal position clearly and sensitively. I left the meeting with a much better understanding of my situation and the options available to me.I would have no hesitation in recommending DMH Stallard to anyone seeking honest, professional and thoughtful legal advice.

We employed the services of Hannah Worricker to oversee the probate of my late father’s estate. From the very start, she has been a pleasure to work with.The case has been incredibly protracted and complex, but Hannah has kept us abreast at every stage with clear, concise communication and worked with exceptional diligence and patience. She responded swiftly to any queries I had and always answered emails and calls in an incredibly timely manner. She has been kind and compassionate in challenging circumstances and highly adept at her work. I can’t recommend her enough and feel incredibly grateful to her.
Tim Deamer
Many thanks to Abigail for all her hard work, sage advice and friendly approach throughout our flat purchase. We really appreciated her persistence in keeping the matter progressing to a successful conclusion amidst the vagaries of England & Wales conveyancing!
Jonathan Poland
I recently had a very productive consultation with Eleanor White, a contentious probate solicitor at the Brighton office. She was easy to communicate with, listened attentively to my concerns, and showed genuine empathy regarding a difficult family inheritance dispute. Her professionalism and expertise gave me confidence in the advice provided. I would highly recommend her services.
Ria Lockie
Very happy with Madeleine’s expertise and help with the sale of our home. We were particularly impressed at the speed and depth of response. Highly recommend.
Ann Bonner
I was impressed with the beautiful surroundings when I went to the office but that was nothing compared to the care and compassion I received by the solicitor Mr Ahmed. Some official meetings are very difficult as are some companies but I almost feel I have found a new friend. The work they did and explanation of options was so clear and helpful I have no hesitation in recommending them for any legal work.
Julie Sorokurs
Abigail helped my husband and me buy our first flat last month – her knowledge, expertise, and the speed at which she replied to any of our queries, big or small, really kept us going throughout! We could not recommend Abigail or DMH Stallard highly enough.
Emily Jenkins
Abby helped my partner and I buy our first home. From the very beginning up until completion and eve after completion! She was truly amazing and faultless. She kept us updated every step of the way, helped with general moving house enquiries too! We know where to go when we move again! Thank you Abby and DMH Stallard.
Tracey Bonds
“I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at   DMH Stalard (Brighton)  , and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My solicitor Abigail McMillan was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient as i navigated the property auction process. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and concluded the sale of the property according to contract. I highly recommend DMH Stalard for anyone looking to buy or sell a property!”Charles Brewerton
Graham Hales
We used Hannah Worricker to update our will and get advice.The advice,service and communication we received from Hannah was excellent as were our meetings at DMH offices .We would thoroughly recommend Hannah and DMH Brighton.
ben drewett
I recently used DMH Stallard when selling my property, and the service was excellent. Abigail was absolutely amazing — she kept us informed at every stage and was always available, even outside normal hours. Her communication and reassurance made what can be a very stressful process feel far more manageable. I would recommend DMH Stallard to anyone
Rob Irvine
Great experience with DMH Stallard for conveyancing on a new flat. Communication was consistently excellent, they kept things moving (especially when the seller’s solicitor caused delays), and they explained everything clearly. Big thanks to Abigail (Abby) McMillan — super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend.
Amanda Pearce
I was very impressed with this service. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt that I was in very good hands during a very difficult time. I would always recommend.
colette kite
We had an amazing service with Abby from DMH Stallard while purchasing a property, we can’t recommend her enough! She was so caring, efficient, thorough and ensured our understanding through the process, which meant so much as this was our first property purchase.Abby was so accommodating with working around our schedules and was always so clear in her approach and explanations. She is such a hard worker, we felt we were in safe hands!Thank you so much Abby for your incredible serviceColette and Gabby
Joe Fazzino
The quotes will be higher than other conveyancers but it is worth it for not having any hassle at all (that number is also a true number not a guess that changes like other firms). Katie always had a knack of emailing me exactly when I would think “I should really send Katie an email asking for an update” which made the whole process a lot less stressful.
Zoe
Abby was absolutely amazing , she was so efficient and kept me informed all the way along the house selling process regularly replying late in the evening. Excellent service!Zoe
Simon Taylor
I have used DMH extensively for a variety of matters including conveyancing, family law and wills and probate. I have found their team to be friendly, professional and responsive and would be happy to recommend them.
Ian English
Partner passed away without making a will. Had to go through probate etc.The solicitor who handled my case (Hannah) was nothing less than excellent!!
Nina Bailey
I have recently used this company to execute my mother’s will following her passing and set up LPAs for my father. They have been extremely professional in everything they have done and Mo was extremely compassionate and patient when dealing with my father who is 96 and was struggling to comprehend the legal processes that were needed. There has been good communication throughout the process, keeping us informed of everything was going on. The only delays experienced were caused by the court processes, not DMH Stallard. The location in Brighton is good with a car park a very short distance away which is useful when you have somebody that cannot walk very far that needs to visit the offices. I would not hesitate to use them again.
bryony abis
I’ve been very fortunate in experiencing amazingly good, efficient services with this firm over the years, for all sorts of legal matters and have been delighted every time .In recent transactions I’ve been fortunate enough to have a sale dealt with by very lovely Abigail McMillan who has been exceptionally kind (and so quick! ). I’m very grateful.Also very excellent Dan Ongley for previous extremely efficient sales and purchases .I highly recommend these solicitors and would honestly never use anyone else. Thank you so much to all of you .
patricia marcus
Excellent experience. Would highly recommend!
Joanne Avery
Outstanding appointment with poppy & izzy today,Thank you so much ladies for your help in a complicated matter. I will highly recommend your expertise to anyone that needs you.
Irene Philpot
Gave excellent advice on how to deal with a person who has not followed the rules of Probate and is withholding funds. We would not hesitate to use DMH Stallard should it be necessary in the future.
Alexandra Turner
We had excellent service from Abby at DMH Stallard while buying and selling a property.Her knowledge was outstanding. She approached all our queries with understanding and care and kept us well informed throughout the process.We would not hesitate to use DMH Stallard for any further legal works and Abby for any future conveyancing.
Gemma Boardman
I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Abigail McMillan. From start to finish Abigail was efficient, responsive and proactive during our house sale and purchase. We could rely on her calm and measured manner at all times and she never failed to reply to a call or email. We wish Abigail every happiness and success in the future – she really deserves it.
Rosemary Wooldridge
[Review from my father Trevor Austin}. Dear Ms Macey,Thank you for sending my leases and other documents.I would like to thank you for your professional help and guidance through my purchase of my property. On the whole it went through smoothly and without drama and I had total confidence in your advice. Correspondence and conversation with you has always been a pleasure and my only regret is that I never managed to shake your hand.My tenure at my new place continues to be trouble-free. Should that happy position change I would have no hesitation in taking up your invitation to contact you.
Sabrina Chapman
I can’t recommend Abigail McMillan highly enough! I recently used her for the purchase of my first home, and she was truly fantastic from start to finish. I chose her because both my parents and my brother had used her in the past and had nothing but great things to say and now I completely understand why.She was always one step ahead, made sure I fully understood each stage of the process, and was incredibly accommodating in working around my timings and needs. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always made time to explain everything clearly, which made the whole process so much less stressful. Communication was prompt and clear throughout, and I always felt like I was in very safe hands.It’s rare to find someone so efficient, approachable, and genuinely invested in their clients.Thank you again for making this such a smooth and positive experience. I’ll definitely be recommending her to anyone I know who needs a solicitor!
nathan camilleri
Julia, Joanna and the team at DMH Stallard were superb, they were meticulous and professional throughout. Their services were reasonably priced and on budget. Thanks again All !!
Kate Rice
Hannah was incredibly helpful and kind during a difficult time. I would highly recommend
Phil Radbourne
DMH London helped me when we sold our company in 2018. In 2019, they helped pick-up a property that had issues with Japaneses knotweed. Then this year, 2025, Solicitor Abigail McMillan at DMH Brighton was incredibly diligent looking at all the aspects of my house purchase. Including some complex boundary issues. Plus they recommended a surveyor who did a great job. If you want the job done properly, they are a good choice. Fixed fee too.
amy chellew
I found Jenny at DMH Stallard so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. She made what was a very stressful and emotional time for me a little easier with her calm and compassionate nature and efficiently dealt with the situation
Megan S
I went with Abigail McMillan after a recommendation from a friend who had great things to say about the service they received. I would echo this recommendation and say that Abigail made the entire process incredibly seamless. Despite some potential hurdles, they were navigated, explained and answered chases consistently. I wouldn’t have made the proposed completion date without her guidance. Can’t recommend the service received enough!
Nigel Mason
We have been very impressed by the careful guidance and support given – and most especially to Catalina Lowe for her assistance and professional work.
Rachael Betts
Abigail McMillan from DMH Stallard was our solicitor for our recent house purchase and we would thoroughly recommend her to all. As first time buyers, we were pretty clueless about the process, but Abigail answered all of our many questions and was always super responsive. She consistently chased the other side’s solicitors and the estate agents, and gave us very regular updates throughout the whole process. Thank you Abigail for making this process as stress-free as possible. We will definitely be recommending your services to our friends and family!
Alex Kirkham
I received outstanding service and expert advice from Jo and her team. I highly recommend contacting DMH Stallard for any legal expertise you may need. Thank you again.
Richard Kirstein
Catalina Lowe of DMH Stallard Brighton has been our family lawyer for many years. During this team she has provided wonderful and diligent support for my parents, my sisters and myself, handling Wills, Will Trusts, Power of Attorney, Probate and CGT returns. Catalina’s attention to detail is impeccable and her client service is always kind and supportive. All the family recommend Catalina – she’s a truly excellent lawyer.
suzy Harris
A big thank you to Catalina Lowe.. Her support, care, high level of professional expertise, supportedus through the settlement of our Mother’s Estate.. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Gillian Tait
Jenny was simply superb through what was a rather challenging period for me. Her pragmatic approach ensured that my parents’ estate was finally settled – something at many times I had little belief would ever happen. I cannot praise or recommend her highly enough.
Dnzaro Zee
Good help from Emma Rose and Helen Rowe, many thanks!
