Ellie gave us all the information that made making our wills easy. Ellie talked us through the decisions and the procedures and clarified any questions that we had.
The process of a will is more complicated than you would first have thought. Wrong decisions can have implications further down the line.
So grateful for professional advice, support and guidance.

Fantastic house purchase experience!
Lorna at Trethowans Winchester was our conveyancer for a local house purchase - the service from Lorna and the team was absolutely top-notch.
We received quick, clear and accurate responses to every email we sent, were always kept up-to-date during a transaction that took longer than we'd hoped due to delays elsewhere, and had full confidence that everything was being handled with care and dedication. The final report was very detailed and well presented.
The overall experience was so much better than our previous house purchase experience; we will definitely be using Trethowans again, and would thoroughly recommend them!

Outstanding Support Defending a Fraudulent Claim
I had an excellent experience with Trethowans, and in particular with Kelvin Farmaner, who successfully defended a personal injury claim made against me. The claim was completely fraudulent and an obvious attempt to extort money, which was a very stressful situation to be in. Having Trethowans on my side made a huge difference.
Kelvin was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He was extremely polite, friendly, and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. At the same time, he was highly professional and clearly very effective in his role. He explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and handled the case with confidence and expertise.
The whole process of working with Trethowans was straightforward and easy, which was exactly what I needed during a difficult situation. I’m incredibly grateful for the outcome and for the support I received.
I would strongly recommend Trethowans, and Kelvin in particular, to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation where they need strong, reliable legal support against a fraudulent claim.

Got there in the end but much chasing on our part was needed. Land registry lost the deeds, other party got a full refund for the extra costs involved quite easily - we were told not to bother, which in hindsight we should have.
This was a few years ago now hiwever but only just asked for a review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience required additional chasing on your part and that the situation with Land Registry added further frustration. We understand how disappointing this must have been, even though some time has passed.

I would highly recommend Trethowans Solicitors especially Mr Dollymore who dealt with my revised Will recently. Very professional, explained my questions in an uncomplicated way without the legal jargon, therfore I could understand everything before coming to the final decision. He was very patient and I felt totally at ease. May I also mention his secretary who conveyed my messages to Mr Dollimore very promptly. Thank you.
