From the moment we first made enquiries at the Ilminster office we felt it was right for us. All very friendly, polite and dealt with our requirements very much to our satisfaction and the charges we felt very reasonably priced. Will definitely use again. Our thanks to all at the Ilminster office.

Walking from the high street into the law office was delightful. A hot day outside and a smile and warm welcome in the reception area. Appointment made and not to long to wait. Lynsey was informative and the appointment went smoothly and at a pace that I could hear and understand. I do get flustered as I have hearing loss and afraid I will misunderstand what is being said, but I had no need to worry. My Appointments after was at a time that fitted in with my lifestyle. Communication by letter was quick and the whole process was a pleasure. I am happy that I have things in place for the future and my family. Regards. G.S.B.

'Who Ya Gonna Call?'

This review is for a different branch.

Moving house is, as we all know, a very stressful process. It can be made better, or worse, by the people one deals with in the course of the process. Julie at Amicus Law is one of those people who make it better. Dealing promptly with enquiries and the inevitable paperwork, she provides a calm response, either by email or on the phone. Our sale exchanged and completed on schedule, despite having to negogiate a number of proverbial 'humps in the road'. Thank you Julie and the team at Amicus Law.

We cannot thank Rebecca Roberts enough for her expertise, kindness, and unwavering support during one of the most difficult times in our family’s life.

Rebecca not only brought exceptional knowledge of SEND law and educational rights, but also genuine compassion and empathy that made us feel seen, heard, and protected.
She was always patient, thorough, and incredibly responsive. What felt overwhelming suddenly became manageable, simply because Rebecca was by our side. She empowered us with information, stood firm when we were unheard, and offered calm reassurance at every step.
A truly outstanding solicitor and a wonderful person. We recommend her with all our hearts.

Absolutely incredible conveyancing service from Sandra Lee and the team at Mustoe Shorter as they were being incorporated into Amicus Law. Sandra has conveyanced for my family before and came recommended to me for my first purchase as a beacon of knowledge who does things properly.

I found this all to be more than true! She worked incredibly hard to get us into our new home having highlighted and helped us navigate problems with our first purchase that subsequently fell through. Sandra is very clear on the facts but always remains neutral, keeping us in the loop at all stages and explaining each part of the process to us. This was invaluable as first time buyers. She always politely deferred questions that were not in her remit (there were many of those from me) and worked to quickly and thoroughly answer those that were: explaining what is the law and what is fair (sometimes not the same thing!). As the partner coming into this purchase with much less financially, Sandra really ensured we understood how to protect our individual investments and safeguard us both for the future. We are delighted with the service we received and will be using her, Morag (who administrated the purchase) and Amicus Law again!

Dear Rebecca, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your experience with Sandra Lee, Morag, and the wider team during your first home purchase was such a positive one. Buying your first home is a huge milestone, and it means a great deal to us that Sandra’s expertise, clarity, and care helped guide you through the process with confidence and reassurance. Your words perfectly capture the dedication Sandra brings to her work - ensuring clients are informed, protected, and supported every step of the way. We’re also so pleased to hear that Morag’s support helped make the process smooth and efficient. We truly value your trust in us and are thrilled to have been part of this important chapter in your life. We look forward to working with you again in the future and wish you all the best as you settle into your new home! Kind regards Amicus Law

We had the good fortune in instructing Sandra Lee at Amicus to act for us in sale of our property. We could have not been more delighted, Sandra was very professional at all times, yet approachable and very efficient. Our property sale presented challenges which Sandra worked through assiduously to a successful completion.

A representative from Amicus Law (South West) Llp responded to this review on 11 July, 2025:

Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your kind review. We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Sandra Lee and the team at Amicus. Sandra takes great pride in her work, and your kind words about her professionalism, approachability, and dedication truly mean a lot. Navigating the challenges of a property sale can be stressful, so we're thrilled to know that Sandra was able to support you through to a successful completion. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience – it makes all the difference. Wishing you all the best in your new chapter! Kind regards Amicus Law
