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.

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!

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

Lan

My family and I enlisted the services of Hannah Worricker from DMH Stallard Brighton to oversee the probate of my late father’s estate. I cannot speak highly enough of Hannah and the service we received. It was a complex case with numerous challenges, but Hannah remained patient and professional throughout, providing us with an exemplary service. I found her easy to communicate with, and always received prompt responses to my emails or requests. I felt that she was readily available and always happy to help, and she was highly competent and persevered even in the face of numerous issues and challenges. I can’t thank Hannah enough for being such a pleasure to work with.

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.

Danuk B

Good help from Emma Rose and Helen Rowe, many thanks!

Gareth Evans

Used Griffith Smith for years, now part of DMH Stallard.

Stella (Nonnq S)

Excellent service. Clear explanations. Non hurried service. Very helpful and capable staff. Highly recommend..

Alanna Megahey

I had an accident in 2015 and my case was concluded in 2020. I was so pleased when Jennifer Ray agreed to take on my case and over the course of the 5 years she offered excellent support. She was always quick to respond to any questions or worries I had and took the time to explain things very clearly. I will always be thankful for everything Jennifer did.
