Jonathan Miller
Wished to settle probate issues and made an appointment with M/s Sara McGrigor at DMH Stallard. The whole procedure was relaxing ,informative and successful although somewhat time consuming as was to be expected.
Hugo Anson
My wife died of cancer. It was slow and complicated, and then she was gone. Initially I was a numb, but eventually knew I had to get probate sorted, and dropped an email to Sara McGrigor, because DMH Stallard had helped us with our wills and LPAs a few years ago. I cannot recommend Sara more highly. She did the empathetic stuff, but then got on with outlining the practical things she needed and the outlined the process and costs – which are not small, but Sara did her best to tell me how to do things I could do myself. During a painful time, the legal process was as painless as it could be. Eventually I had to drop into the office and sign papers and pick up the deed of probate. It was lovely meeting Sara in person and sharing stories. The whole process left me feeling I had found a friend.
Nicholas Tait
I liked Rachel Osgood from our first meeting. She was friendly and empathetic. Throughout my divorce she always responded very swiftly to requests and provided timely updates as things progressed. When I needed some property advice, colleagues stepped in immediately and gave prompt, clear advice. Overall a great service and would recommend.
Wendy Case
I had a call with Cathryn regarding advice I needed as an executor for a dispute with beneficiaries. She was extremely helpful and gave me advice to move forward with. I will most certainly contact her again if things don’t improve. I would definitely recommend contacting this company if you need advice.
Paul Randall
Extremely helpful initial consultation with clear and honest guidance borne of research into our specific situation
Jonathan Goldhill
First class support from Michael Derrick on IHT issues and cross-border estate planning. Thanks, Michael!
Ian Thorne
This law firm assisted us with a complex family matter. They worked closely with us, their speed of response was excellent. They explain everything to us clearly and in an easy to understand manner. I willingly recommend them
George Ashley
Samantha & her team were amazing and massively helped us with our new house purchase. We would highly recommend these guys to anyone who wants a trouble free experience. Superb work. Thank you again!
Rob Proctor
We instructed DMH Stallard in relation to a difficult and emotionally challenging contentious probate matter. From the outset, the team provided calm, clear and practical advice, helping us navigate a complex process with professionalism and care.They were responsive, strategic and reassuring throughout, balancing strong legal guidance with a sensitive understanding of the personal issues involved. Their support helped us reach closure on a matter that had placed significant strain on our family.We are very grateful for their advice, persistence and professionalism, and would not hesitate to recommend DMH Stallard to anyone facing a complex probate dispute.
Gilly Carter
Samantha Smith provided us with such a professional and efficient service – much appreciated. Thanks Sam … you’re a huge asset to DMH Stallard 🙂
Paul Miles
Very happy with the service provided by Maureen Murtagh. She was very thorough and professional, guiding us through three unsuccessful transactions and helping us to decide not to proceed, and ultimately a successful purchase of our dream house, which went very quickly and smoothly. Maureen was always approachable and it was very reassuring to have ready access to her expertise.
J
We worked with Samantha Smith on the sale of our property and she was brilliant – answered every question we had (no matter how many!) promptly and kept all communications regular and thorough. Thank you!
Steven Thomson
Samantha has helped us with three transactions in the last few months starting with the sale of our long term family house. We were very satisfied with the service she provided. Samantha was very straightforward to deal with and pragmatic in handling all three of our transactions. She was also realistic in setting expectations and made sure that she could deliver what she promised.We would happily recommend Samantha to others and plan to seek her assistance on a forthcoming transaction
Bruce Scott
Excellent Service from start to finish. Highly Recommended firm of solicitors.
josh boucker
This is the second time we have worked with Michael Daniel’s for a property transaction. He made the process so simple and I really appreciated the level of detail to his advice. We had the transaction done in less than 12 weeks! Thank you!
Catherine Deville
I had a very positive experience with Cathryn. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and explained legal issues clearly and calmly. I felt well-supported throughout the process and confident that my enquiry was being handled thoroughly and professionally.
danilo cassani
Maureen Murtagh has been a great support helping us with the purchase of our property with a very professional and effective approach. Her ability to constantly follow up on issues and the fast response time made our experience with DMH Stallard very positive.
Warren Mott
Stumbled upon DMH purely by chance and am very glad i I did. Their Team were extremely helpful, professional and always answered questions very promptly. Have already recommended to others who are also very pleased. Most of all they were always “on the front foot” and chasing the Vendors solicitor whose was not all all co-operative. I’d highly recommend.
Louise Kemp
Samantha Smith at DMH Stallard was brilliant in our house sale – she was knowledgable, efficient and went above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible.
Ramon VdV
Rachel Osgood supported me with a tricky issue, and her approach was not only extremely professional and impactful. It was also very personable, and supported me well taking the more psychological factors of the issue into account as well. I highly recommend!
Verity a’Barrow
I chose to work with Tabitha on the purchase of our first home, and it was the best decision I made. As a first time buyer, it’s a really daunting process, and Tabitha was there at every step of the way to provide support and guidance. Tabitha is extremely efficient, determined and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house. I will absolutely get in touch with her if I need her services in the future.
Tina Cripps
Rachel was compassionate, knowledge and pragmatic, quickly grasping both the details and the context of the issue at hand. She provided a number of different options, with clear guidance as to the advantages and challenges of each. I felt very confident in her advice, her thoughtful approach and her steely spine !
Cynthia Chidarikire
So far, so good. We are very pleased with the person centred approach we received for a service some solicitors charge for. We have not been made to feel like we’re just another figure for their extortionate gain. Very calm professionals who show compassion and are attentive to detail. We have been particularly impressed with their responsiveness, next to none in our current experience. This has been reassuring. Highly recommended.
Laura Malam
Tabitha was professional and quick in her responses. Her advice was sound and made for a quick resolution.
Tracy Loosley
Samantha Smith at DMH Stallard was brilliant throughout. I felt very confident in her and she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you.
Ian Beaumont
I have nothing but praise for Jenny Ray at DMH Stallard, specifically for her work on my behalf recently in connection with a rather sensitive and stressful family related legal matter, which required careful handling. Jenny is excellent at her job and she was always kind, understanding, thoughtful, highly professional and thorough throughout the whole time we worked together. I recommend her and the DMH Stallard company highly.
Rose Kneller
Sam Smith is an actual legend. We purchased our first home and had Sam do our conveyancing, it was the best decision ever. Sam was so efficient, quick and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend
Janice Heathcote
Amazing service through out. Samantha has been great. She explained everything and was very patient with our phone calls and emails. Not just with our sale and purchase but with selling my mother’s house which wasn’t straight forward.
Derek Payne
We were very happy with Tabitha’s work on our conveyancing.Given we were keen to move quickly, Tabitha did everything she could to expedite all the paperwork. The property is a new-build, so there was additional paperwork to carry out.One constructive suggestion is around compliance.It seems they were only engaged a couple of days before Exchange, and because we had moved moneys around (to obtain best interest rates), they seemed to take a long time to tie up the numbers (albeit I was able to check all double entry movements in about 30 minutes), and a lot of effort at both ends.I would suggest compliance get involved at least a week before Exchange in case there are unexpected circumstances.
C Edward
I have just finished a very helpful conversation with Cathryn where she helped me to understand some of issues related to estate administration. I found her to be professional and explained things in a way I could understand them. And also she sent me a summary of our conversation which will help as a reference point in the future. Thanks DMH Stallard.
Fran Hibbert
incredibly helpful, professional and clear guidance, enabling an informed decision to be made on next steps. Can’t recommend highly enough!!
SkyUKUK
I reached out to Amber to help finish up a financial settlement that my previous solicitors had not concluded.Amber was a pleasure to deal with, excellent advice, and professionally and skillfully completed the prudes for me.Highly recommended.
Marcus Atkins
Sam has been brilliant in acting on our behalf in selling our house. Our last move was 24 years ago and I hadn’t realised just how complicated conveyancing was nowadays! There were a few little issues throughout the journey, but Sam remained calm, dogged and professional throughout. Her calming influence really put my mind at rest no matter what hurdle or issue was thrown at us. I couldn’t recommend using Sam enough, 5 Star service. Thank you very much 🙂
Jola Martin
Highly recommend DMH Stallard ! I worked with Tabitha who helped me with a very complex Transfer of Equity. She was very efficient, knowledgeable and at the same time friendly. She went above and beyond to complete the transfer. It was my pleasure to work with her.
Barbara Lodge
I just completed on the sale of my house thanks to Samantha at DMH Stallard. I was very nervous as I live in the US and the house was back in the UK which complicated things however she made the process incredibly smooth and was always quick to respond to all my questions. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Costs were very reasonable too, especially for the excellent level of service and attention. Thank you SO much.
Andy “Wingsebash”
I had fantastic service from DMH Stallard. I used them for the conveyancing of my late mothers flat and it was a seamless transaction. My solicitor was Samantha Smith and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was always on top of everything and I never had to chase her for anything. I highly recommend this company and Samantha in particular.
Jes Moon
I had a Will problem caused by a different solicitor company. Cathryn and I discussed all the options in a lively, fun and detailed way. Cathryn then followed up with a perfect review of our conversation with cost estimates. I am very grateful
Martin Postlethwaite
DMH were both professional and efficient in the administration of my deceased parents Estate & affairs, with clear and efficient support and directives throughout. Commercially aware with pro-active tax guidance, and prompt in all actions, in order to mitigate both time and expense. Personal service from Michael Derrick was exemplary and nothing was too much trouble. Took the weight off my shoulders during sad and stressful times.
Sylvie Mayo
Cathryn Culverhouse at DMS Stallard is an excellent lawyer. She heard and advised on my case; offered a range of ways forward, and represented me in a clear and straightfoward manner. I greatly appreciated Cathryn’s responsiveness and understanding approach to me as a client. The rest of the team at DMH Stallard are also very easy and friendly to work with.
Sarah Durston
I recieved a free 30 minute consultation with one of the partners, Cathryn Culverhouse, which was extremely informative and helpful, I would definitely recommend.
Louise Eley
Always professional with a friendly touch, I would always recommend
Aileen Maynard
We used Samantha Smith from DMH Stallard to act for us on the sale and purchase of our new home. I can only describe our extremely positive experience as ‘we were on the same team!’.As soon as our vendor’s solicitors sent anything, Samantha actioned it straight away. We never felt like we were the ones holding up the process and I never had to chase her for anything, she was so organised and professional throughout. As with many property transactions, things got really stressful towards the end (due to our seller trying to change dates unexpectedly which would have caused us to lose our buyer) and Samantha did everything she could to ensure a smooth and timely completion despite these challenges. I decided to also use DMH Stallard for the sale of my rental property and have already recommended them to friends and family. Thank you Samantha!!
Hannah Cook
Cathryn Culverhouse gave excellent advice, helping to put my mind at ease during a difficult and complicated time. She was patient, her knowledge extensive and by the end of our discussion I had a much clearer idea of my next course of action. I was surprised that the 30 minute consultation was also free of charge. Thank you again for your time.
Susie Lizabeth
Excellent service. Free half hour was invaluable, laid out clear options and helped me realise that this is a firm that I would want to handle our issue.
Alan Hulme
I approached DMH Stallard (Guildford office) late last year for assistance in a property matter of some complexity and was fortunate that Michael Daniels (ably assisted by Natalie Wicker-Freeman) took up the case on my behalf. Michael is very knowledgeable, providing sound advice and handling the process efficiently and effectively, bringing it to a successful conclusion within a fairly tight deadline. – and at a fair cost.I have worked with Stallards on several matters over the years and on that basis, plus this most recent experience, would have no hesitation in recommending the firm.
