Moving house
From day one using Devonalds app it was very easy to keep in contact with the solicitor. If I needed to speak over the phone he was available to do so. I would highly recommend Mr Daniel Evan’s who dealt with the exchange of contracts very well. All staff were polite and easy to talk to whenever I phoned for advise or to deal with any problem.
A representative from Devonalds responded to this review on 11 August, 2025:
Thank you for the kind words in your review. It is really nice to read that Daniel has your recommendation and that you found that the app made the process easier. That you found our staff polite and easy to talk to is also lovely to read. If you need any further help with legal matters in the future we will happily assist you.

Highly recommend Devonalds for getting your Will done
I did my Will with Cancer Research through Devonalds. It was quick, simple, easy and effective. Cara explained everything to me carefully and made sure I completely understood. My Will was done in no time and now I can rest assured knowing it's finally done.
Thanks again, highly recommend!

I used Devonalds to update my Will. I was very impressed with how easy and quick Cara was able to sort things. Everything was explained very thoroughly in a way I was able to understand. Much better than my previous experience with another firm. Would highly recommend.

Devonalds have been brilliant during a very long and drawn out 6 months it has taken to buy our house. At our end, we were ready to complete within 8 weeks of the offer being accepted and this was due to Nicky’s excellent work getting required work complete. Will definitely be using Devonalds for any future purchases!
