A highly professional service.

We were extremely pleased with the service we received from Mr Temitope Okenla concerning the legal processes related to the sale of our family holiday home. We were kept up to date with progress and explanations were given regarding each aspect of the sale. We were pleased that both the exchange of contracts and completion date were carefully negotiated by Temi to suit our timescale with that of our buyer.

Professional, caring team

Thomas Dunton were recommended to me for probate. A time-consuming and lengthy process best left in the hands of the professionals as it's easy to get things wrong with a probate case. Sarwen kept me informed throughout the process through telephone conversations, emails and correspondence through the post where necessary. It was easy for me to drop off original documents to the Thomas Dunton office or post when I was not available. I would definitely recommend Thomas Dunton Solicitors for their expertise - probate in my case. Thank you Sarwen and team.

I would 100% reccomend Thomas Dunton Solicitors!

My experience with my solicitor at Thomas Dunton was always professional and friendly. I often would go in to see Maria feeling nervous and out of my depth and came out feeling calm, and ready to move forward. Maria was very good at explaining things in a way that was easy to understand, giving me sensible, sound advice with great legal knowledge. I am more than happy with the service I received.

We recently sold and purchased a property with Thomas Dunton - Temi and Sally were excellent from start to finish. We were kept up to date, they were quick, friendly, efficient and thorough. We also purchased a property last year through them - Because of Temi's diligent work, he noticed issues with the lease which meant we decided to go for a different properly and we're so glad we did.
Thanks again Temi and Sally for all your hard work!
