Solicitor at Devonalds

Ffion Durston

Solicitor

I began my Training Contract with Devonalds in August 2022 and qualified as a Solicitor in August 2024. Prior to this, I gained extensive experience by working as a Paralegal for a different firm. I studied at Cardiff University and graduated in 2020 with a First Class Law Degree and I graduated again in 2021 with a Distinction in the Legal Practice Course. Alongside my studies, I provided help and support to people with learning difficulties in the legal process which has helped me become a very approachable legal professional. In my role, I take a dedicated approach to developing a specialist knowledge in the department areas I am training in. I am looking forward to continuing to gain valuable experience as a Trainee Solicitor which in turn will help me achieve my long term goal of qualifying as a Solicitor. I have lived in the area of Tonypandy all of my life and I am very proud to be a part of a law firm that is committed to providing legal services to the local people of South Wales. Outside of work, I am a keen baker who enjoys learning new recipes and making my creations look picture perfect. I regularly walk my Cavachon dog Charlie on the local paths near where I live. On the weekends, I can be found in the theatre, with family and friends or with a book in my hands!

Making a Will

5

Simply phone Devonalds and request a home visit from a Solicitor able to help you create the Will . . . . you'll not regret doing so.
I can personally recommend them and every aspect of the whole experience.

Satisfaction of making a Will with Devonalds

Making a Will with Devonalds Solicitors was perhaps the easiest thing that we have done. The process was straightforward with a great Solicitor who helped us understand the process all the way. I now know that we have everything covered in the future.

Will and Lasting Power of Attorney

5

Previously used to buy and sell property in 2022. Never got around to doing a Will and Power of Attorney. Everything was clearly explained with a detailed quote for costs which were accurate, but now feel a lot happier now everything is in place for the inevitable.
