Divorce Financial Order

Very happy with the service provided by Emma at the Taunton office. Always happy to answer any queries that I had, and explained the process very well. I can't comment on value for money as I did not enquire elsewhere however the fixed fee for this service is why I chose Amicus. I would highly recommend them if you require this service.

A representative from AmicusLaw Solicitors responded to this review on 11 May, 2025:

Dear Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you were happy with the service provided by Emma at our Taunton office. It's great to know that she was able to guide you through the process clearly and answer any queries you had along the way. We're also pleased that our fixed fee offering made things straightforward and accessible for you. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. Kind regards Amicus Law

Executors of deceased estate issues

Dealing with the estate of a deceased member of the family is emotionally draining at the best of times - Nick Bevan, Katriona Lovelock have been great in helping us deal with the potential pitfalls of beneficiaries. In addition the teams of Vicky, Rebecca. Heidi have proved knowledgeable and helpful along the way.

Had an initial appointment, with Rebecca Roberts, to give me information, on what the school should be doing, regarding my sen child. The amount the school have done since, all the advise, I'd be given, has been incredible. Just want to thank you, for given me so much well needed information, in the 40 minutes, I had with you. Would recommend you to anyone and will definitely be using you in the future if/when we need you.
