The two solicitors from Trethowens that represented me over three years (Emily Green and Isobel Leigh-Warren) were outstanding (professional, efficient, conscientious and empathetic). What I valued most was the reliability of their communication from beginning to end. It struck the right balance in updating without being intrusive. This instilled complete confidence in representation.

Wills and Transferring of House Deeds

Trethowans in Salisbury dealt with my mother's Will which covered her finances and conveyancing of the house deeds. Both were carried out with empathy, efficiency and a friendly, respectful manner.

I would recommend Trethowans to everyone!

Fantastic honest solicitor.

My solicitor was such a caring lady.
She’d always ask me how I was first, taking my mental health into consideration.
Extremely knowledgeable advice, she knew exactly what she was talking about.
I felt cared for and relaxed throughout the whole process of my divorce.
I couldn’t thank her enough.
I would highly recommend this company.

Superb service from start to finish

Everything was sorted professionally from start to finish. My property was a complex joint freehold, ex-leasehold arrangement which required lots of digging and checking. Also, they kept me informed of developments down to the smallest detail. Lorna and Becky were on the case from the start. Being a local company meant that they were able to liaise easily with the estate agent when the need arose...which was absolutely crucial.

I would like to thank Paige and her team for all of their hard work, professionalism and support throughout my custody case. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome they achieved for me and truly appreciate the dedication and effort that went into helping secure it.

Throughout the process, there were naturally times when emotions ran high for me personally, but Paige and her team were always there to keep me grounded, reassured and focused. Their calm approach, guidance and support made a very difficult situation much easier to navigate.

I would highly recommend Paige and her team to anyone needing professional, supportive and knowledgeable legal representation.

Great service.

Thank you, Mariana and your team, for the exceptional service I experienced throughout the entire process of selling my house whilst living abroad. All steps were explained ahead of time and was managed seamlessly.

Outstanding service from Isobel

After initially being allocation a terrible 'no win no fee' Solicitor by our insurance company and being very dissatisfied with the service, we moved to Trethowans and dealt with Isobel who was fantastic from start to finish. Very rarely do you find someone who actually does exactly what they say they will, and when they're going to do it! Isobel kept us informed at every stage, she returned calls and emails and was always friendly and helpful. Her advice was invaluable in terms of the outcome of the claim and we felt our interests were in safe hands with her. I would highly recommend Trethowans, and more importantly Isobel Leigh-Warren to anyone looking for help with a personal injury claim.

I have been through some trials and tribulations relating to house buying over the last 8 months. Throughout that time Lucy Spollin and Mia Davies worked tirelessly to get me through one aborted purchase, and pushed the second one through in just 8 weeks from the offer being accepted to completion.

They have been courteous, professional and helpful, even when times were tough and I was quite grumpy about the whole process! I am extremely grateful to them for their hard work and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you Lucy and Mia.
