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.

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.
A representative from AmicusLaw Solicitors responded to this review on 15 April, 2025:
Dear Alex, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how emotionally difficult it can be to deal with the estate of a loved one, and we're truly grateful for your kind words during such a sensitive time. We're pleased to hear that Nick, Katriona, and the wider team – Vicky, Rebecca, and Heidi – were able to provide the support, guidance, and reassurance you needed. We'll make sure your appreciation is passed on to each of them. If there's anything more we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Kind regards Amicus Law

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.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future, should you ever need us. Kind regards Amicus Law
