My wife and I recently updated our wills and we were advised by Richard Smith, we both found his friendly professional approach to what can be a difficult subject very reassuring. He explained in detail how any changes in the law have affected our wills and how to best resolve any problems. In short we would not hesitate to recommend Richard and Ellis Jones.

I cannot thank Kate Brooks and Hannah Roberts enough for dealing with my employment issue. From the outset Kate and Hannah showed great expertise and were extremely knowledgeable and robust in their approach in resolving the matter. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate and Hannah for any employment advice and representation.

We instructed Richard Smith of the Canford Cliffs Office to prepare new Wills for us and advise on IHT mitigation potentials. The advice we received was explained with clarity and detailed precision. We are grateful for the care and attention to detail given. The fees charged were reasonable given the complex area of law involved.

We cannot fault the dedication and professionalism given to us by Katie Taft of Ellis Jones Solicitors. From the outset and initial consultation, we were struck not only by the competence and subject knowledge but also the upfront and honest appraisal of our situation. Throughout the course of a very complex case I would describe the professional service that we received as simply exemplary.
The advice and guidance we continually received throughout the case was always backed up with sound analysis and when in court the delivery was impeccable. At fact finding and final hearings Katie Taft's detailed understanding of the case allowed for the production of evidential and factual documents that were pivotal in the final successful outcome. During such an important court case, I could not have wished to have had a better solicitor by my side.

Diane Vincent at Ellis Jones has been acting for my cousin in a serious fraud case where my cousin (who developed dementia) was exploited and taken advantage of by a ruthless villain. I cannot praise her highly enough. She has been thoroughly professional and, I feel, has worked to the highest standard possible going over and above the call of duty to ensure my cousin is in safe hands at all times.

I have worked with Ellis Jones in both a personal capacity as a client, and a through my business, Salad, as a supplier, for many years. Working with them as a client, I have consistently been happy with their services, including advice from Lauren Day and conveyancing services when we recently bought a new home. Salad have been working with Ellis Jones for 5 years, and the partnership between us both has been professional, friendly, and respectful.
The marketing team are a delight to work with and it has been rewarding for Salad to be involved in numerous projects throughout the years including the re-brand, development of the website and ongoing digital marketing.

Exemplary service and advice was provided to us from Jonathan Wright of Ellis Jones solicitors in regards to a first time flat purchase. Jonathan was very helpful, knowledgeable and efficient throughout the whole process. He went beyond the call of duty on many occasions and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you very much!

Having used Jonathan Wright at Ellis Jones on several occasion we felt it was time that we left a review. Jonathan has dealt with 14 house sales and purchases for us and without a doubt has made the whole process very straight forward and stress free. The service was swift, professional and the fact Jonathan was contactable and helpful made things all very easy. Based on our experience so far, if anyone is considering buying or selling a house, then we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
We have also so used Nicola Hall to arrange Power of Attorney for my parents and she was also brilliant she even came to the hospital to arrange this. She provided a service way above our expectations and in difficult circumstances made it a very easy process.

I wanted to say how pleased we were with our experience with Mrs. Nicola Hall when my husband's mother passed away recently. My husband is British and I am American and we live in the States; so I had no idea of how the British system for Estates, Wills and Probate works. We had to totally rely on Mrs. Hall on every point since were out of the country.
She was happy to explain everything in great detail and was very prompt in answering my emails since we had a 5-hour time difference between the UK and the US. We highly recommend her and feel that she took care of us with great care, compassion and experience.

I was recently involved in an acrimonious battle with my ex husband, who is a lawyer. So I knew I needed a good lawyer to take on my case. I was recommended to Ellis Jones and to Sean McNally. Having worked with Sean, it became very clear that I had made the right choice. Sean is professional and very level headed. He gave me good advice and on several occasions stopped me making the wrong decisions about how to proceed. I would recommend Sean with out reservation if you have a family law issue

I have only known Kate at Ellis Jones for a short time but am continuously impressed with her professional approach to business and her ability to make good on her promises. She has made a real difference to Poole Chamber already having just joined the Board, and her support and that of her colleague Hugh Craig with the Green PEA initiative has been invaluable.
From what I have experienced Ellis Jones are a firm of solicitors I am happy to do business with. I look forward to continuing and building on our relationship in the future.
