Professional, considerate, expert lawyers

Whenever one has to call upon the services of a solicitor, it is often in times of trouble, or having to deal with unfamiliar circumstances. At the start of my legal process, I had feelings of anxiety and apprehension, but through the understanding, calm and professional guidance of Emma Mitchell the whole procedure was seamless and the desired end result achieved. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma or Johnson Astills, as they are top notch lawyers, skilled and proficient, but also kind and considerate in what I suppose can be a hard-nosed industry.

Making a will at Johnson Astills

Making a will sounds like a daunting task but Kirsty Gasson at Johnson Astills made the experience not only painless but also enjoyable. The process was expertly managed and I'm very happy with the result.

Will Writing Service

Kate and Emily were amazing from the initial phone call to completion. Kate set out the different types of wills and how the process works. Kate and Emily were so friendly and welcoming. There was no overload of jargon. They explained everything in simple language that was easy to follow. Their communication was great and anything that needed to be checked they got back to me very quickly. The whole process was so easy and hassle free - there was no pressure to have answers or make decisions. All the staff there were lovely and friendly when I arrived. Amazing experience with them and would recommend.

Outstanding Service

I started my conveyancing with Johnson Astills in January and completed my house purchase in May. From start to finish, Manni was clear, professional, friendly and helped me to understand everything that was involved in the conveyancing process. She answered every question I had very quickly, and was very prompt in responding to the seller’s side whenever they came back with responses to enquiries. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for better with Manni and Johnson Astills, and will definitely return to this firm when I next need a conveyancer.
