Ellicia Williams was excellent throughout the process of getting my first property. Consistently reachable and organised, she managed to turn what was a tricky purchase into one that was easy to understand and as stress free as it possibly can be. Would recommend.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Milners! I have a (very) complicated ongoing conveyancing job, and have received excellent customer service and professional advice throughout. Emails are responded to very quickly, and I have been able to speak to my conveyancer by phone whenever I have needed to. I have appreciated the support I have received from Alexandra, Rachel & Lucy, and the personal, friendly service they offer.

Much appreciated in this stressful matter. I highly recommend them, and if you are looking for a trustworthy solicitor who offers an honest, friendly efficient service, then your search is over :) Thanks again Alexandra for all of your hard work & patience.

Milner's / Giles Ward and his team provided invaluable advice and service dealing with my partners requirements on a complex employment case requiring sensitive handling which resulted in a successful outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Giles / Milner's for competence, competitive fees, regular updates and commercial approach.

Giles Ward, senior partner at Milners, was an absolute godsend. He talked me through the process and was there for me every step of the way. Professional, supportive and very responsive: couldn't recommend Giles and the team enough if you're looking for legal support of any kind. Giles' advice was invaluable, and nothing was too much trouble. I certainly won't be going anywhere else for any legal matters!

I have been associated with Mr Ward of Milners for some 6 years. During this time I have relied on his legal advice heavily, Mr ward does not always tell you what you want to hear but what he gives you is an honest opinion and sound counsel. He would never allow you to become embroiled in any futile or expensive legal wrangle, good sense and honesty always prevails. For these reasons I will continue to use this excellent firm both personally and for my business affairs, I will also strongly recommend to others on this basis.

Senior partner Giles Ward appeared at a pivotal moment in my legal case. He offered me desperately needed backing, on Pro Bono terms, to represent my defence, at a time when I had lost hope for legal representation. Giles Ward and Ben Harrison lifted me out of a very dark hole, wrapped me in a legal safety blanket, and gave my unheard defence a voice. They ironed out the legal complexities and put an end to my fears. Living a life worry-free, for me, is a priceless position to be in and I owe it all to Milners.

I have just enjoyed my first Christmas and New Year in my new home, which is all thanks to Milners Solicitors. John Robson made the process easy and really took the care to make sure I understood documentation ensuring I was fully informed at all stages. He really took the stress out of buying a house and his experience is evident. During the process I also made my Will with Jessica Savage this was also an easy process. Jessica was quick to respond to emails, clarify information and explain each clause in turn to make sure I understood what I was signing.

To all those avoiding making a Will I would recommend getting in touch as it is not scary - it is a quick and easy process. On another note I would like to personally thank Giles Ward, Simon Bass, and Dylan Gorman for all their invaluable help throughout the years. They have handled a long and complicated personal injury claim for my father and even when this has finished they have continued to stay in contact with him and built a friendship. Milners have an integrity and honesty which other law firms lack and I cannot thank them enough for all they have done. I would whole heartily recommend them for anything you need

Grateful to have them on my side. Great result and made what I initially thought was a massive ordeal/undertaking seem so manageable. Fantastic service and was given all the information needed at every-point along the way. Their professional advice was invaluable (even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear) and I couldn't have gotten the results achieved without their help. I'd definitely recommend Oliver Cashman again and again.

Oliver Cashman should be ashamed of himself! In 2017 I engaged with Milners, unfortunately due to trading conditions the limited company I was a director of was struck off owing circa 280 to Milners. This week I received a demand for payment for the unpaid invoice. I emailed Oliver and informed him the company was no longer trading and despite having no legal requirement, I offered to pay a propotion of the bill as a "no hard feelings payment". Oliver Cashman From Milners attempted to negotiate - failing this he proceeded to threaten me with a general director disqualification and to bring in an insolvency practitioner to review my case.

After informing him of certain legalities, all of which mean he has no legal basis to continue to chase me for this 2017 debt - his attitude changed and he become very arrogant, threatening and confrontational - to the point he endorsed "meeting up and sorting it out like men". Since when is it common practice for solicitors to cause people alarm and distress on a Sunday, and advocate violence.

His most recent email has threatened me with a defamation - I will not be bullied and defamation only counts if what I type is not true. Oliver Cashman of Milners you should be ashamed of yourself.

Milners at Harrogate were excellent in dealing with my conveyancing. Things ran smoothly with minimal fuss and hassle. A very professional service. A special thanks to Lucy Wood for keeping me up to date with the progress.

Milners Solicitors provided me with an exceptional service from start to finish. They were very fast and didn't mess about. They were very efficient and very thorough, with every detail covered. They are extremely professional, reassuring to communicate with and it was a completely stress-free experience. These Guys and Gals are simply Amazing! I Strongly Recommend Milners Solicitors!

We turned to Milners and its expertise for help in resolving a thorny and long-standing debt. It had not been paid by a former client who had become an expert in the "jam tomorrow" approach to settling invoices. Within days of instructing Milners to act on our behalf, the debt was repaid in full. A great result and experience, complemented by the first-rate updates we received - free of jargon and legalese - and their client-friendly approach and legal know-how.

Used Milners for my conveyancing. Excellent service, very professional and much faster than other solicitors I've used on similar properties.

Giles Ward has been really helpful to Straw Works Construction in providing pro-bono advice on a dispute with a client who won't pay up. For a small company such as ours, with no capital behind us, only a fantastic reputation, we don't ever expect a situation like this to arise and have nothing to fall back on if it does. So thanks, Giles, much appreciated. And have a great time over the festive season!

Professional, thorough and friendly. Both Giles and Danielle were very helpful and guided me through the divorce process with good advice and assertive action where necessary.
