Laura is simply brilliant

Laura is simply brilliant. From start to finish, she made what was at times an incredibly challenging and overwhelming process feel manageable and supported.

Laura took the time to explain everything clearly and guided me through every step with care and confidence.

Her support went far beyond professionalism — Laura was compassionate and genuinely invested in my wellbeing. She truly understood what I was going through and consistently acted with empathy. Every piece of advice she gave was carefully considered and always in my best interests.

Laura’s expertise and knowledge were excellent. She gave clear, reassuring guidance throughout which gave me complete confidence in my claim.

I am delighted with the outcome and incredibly grateful to Laura and her team for their dedication, hard work, and unwavering support. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Bridging Loan, with lots of curved balls! Not a problem for Lucy!

At probably the most stressful time of our lives Lucy Spollin not only worked tirelessly to get our bridging loan over the line but also communicated with us throughout every stage of the process. I am ocd at the best of times but Lucy, and Mia, ensured my concerns were answered, kept in contact, helped to keep us calm and worked their socks off to get everything completed within our deadline. I cannot thank Lucy enough and have no hesitation in recommending Lucy to anyone buying or selling a property.

I can’t thank Trethowans Solicitors enough, especially James, for the incredible support over what was a long and challenging case.

From day one, James was approachable, patient, and always happy to answer questions — no matter how many I had. He explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout, and was consistently supportive over the five-year process.

The outcome achieved has made a huge difference to me. I genuinely felt looked after every step of the way.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Trethowans Solicitors to anyone needing legal support.

We highly recommend Trethowans

We highly recommend Trethowans. We used the firm back in 2020 when we purchased our first property and were impressed then but, for our recent sale and purchase, they have surpassed our expectations. Communications have been excellent, responding to all queries in a timely manner, all work has been delivered to a very high quality and above all, our contacts have been professional yet very friendly in all interactions. We will certainly use Trethowans again in the future.

100% recommend every time

Kelvin was fantastic to work with and his legal precision was instrumental in defending our case.

I would have no hesitation in working with Kelvin again in the future or recommending his services.

In fact, should I find myself in a similar situation, Kelvin is the first person I would call.

Registering an Enduring Power of Attorney

I made contact with" Trethowans" part of "Lawfront" a firm of solicitors, in Bournemouth to arrange the Registration of a Power of Attorney, which had been written in 2007.
Ellie Stanton, the solicitor who dealt with my request was very helpful and professional. She made a difficult process for me, easy to understand and to be able to fulfil the legal requirements.

Housing Dispute Resolution

I instructed Trethowans to act for me in a dispute with my ex partner regarding a house we jointly owned. I was incredibly pleased with the service I received from the Trethowans team, especially Heidi Cardozo and Grant Cameron.

They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable and explained the legal position clearly at every stage, which was especially important given how stressful and emotionally charged the situation was. Communication was prompt and consistent, and I always felt my concerns were taken seriously and addressed.

The advice provided was practical and well-considered, and I felt confident that my case was being handled thoroughly and fairly. Thanks to their work, the matter was resolved efficiently and with a good outcome.

I would not hesitate to recommend Trethowans to anyone needing legal advice or support.

My wife and I used Trethowans to re-write our wills. Our solicitor was Kerry-Anne Pease and we are delighted with the results. These are far more comprehensible than the previous versions produced by a different company ten years ago. Kerry-Anne gave clear, understandable advice throughout and we highly recommend her.
