After losing my husband, I needed to make a new will—something I was very anxious about. I am in my 80s, profoundly deaf and have limited eyesight, so I was worried about how I would manage. Thankfully, I was looked after by Sophie Matthias, who was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.
Sophie was incredibly patient and kind. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood each step. I never felt rushed or confused—she made me feel comfortable and respected throughout the whole process. Her calm and caring manner turned what could have been a very stressful experience into something smooth and reassuring.
Everyone I came into contact with at the firm, including the reception staff, was professional, helpful, and friendly. I felt supported every step of the way.
I’m very grateful to Sophie and the team for their compassion and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, especially those who may need a little extra care and understanding.

My experience with Beeston Shenton Solicitors was highly disappointing due to their poor communication. Throughout our property transaction, we were frequently left waiting for updates, often having to chase the team ourselves. Most frustratingly, we would hear updates from the seller’s solicitors through the sellers well before our own solicitors bothered to inform us. This lack of proactive communication made the process stressful and left us feeling overlooked. It’s a basic expectation that clients are kept informed to avoid uncertainty, but Beeston Shenton fell short. Even if the timeline was reasonable, the lack of transparency made it feel anything but. I’d recommend choosing a firm that values clear and timely communication.

I had a very stressful and frustrating experience with Beeston Shenton Solicitors while purchasing my first home. From the beginning, the process was plagued with delays and poor communication. It took over a month for them to even begin progressing with my case due to system compatibility issues with the seller’s solicitors—something I was never informed about until the sellers themselves asked if the purchase was still going ahead.
My case was then passed to another solicitor, who began asking for documents that had already been provided. On one day, I received emails from four different people, each claiming they were now handling my case. I was asked to email documents back, only to be told months later that they needed to be posted—without even being given an address until I followed up myself.
I had to chase Beeston Shenton repeatedly, not only for my own updates but also on behalf of the seller’s solicitors, who were not receiving responses for weeks. My own emails were often ignored or met with one-line replies that offered no real help. Not once did any solicitor call me to explain the process or offer reassurance. Everything was handled via email, which made the experience feel cold and impersonal.
Toward the end, I was told I needed to deposit £6,500 more than expected—an incredibly stressful surprise. After completion, I was then asked to pay an additional £130 for the Land Registry fee, even though I had already received a completion certificate. I followed up, but weeks later, I still haven’t received a response and am now worried about the status of my Land Registry.
What should have been an exciting milestone turned into a five-month ordeal (with no chain on either side) due to their inefficiency and lack of professionalism. I would not recommend Beeston Shenton Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable, communicative, or supportive legal services.

It was a rush to complete on a property purchase from auction and they really went above and beyond to make it happen within the timeframe. It’s not very often I feel that solicitors really earn their money but this was an exception. The sheer amount of work to get the purchase completed in such a short time frame makes me wonder if they ever slept - exemplary service! Well done and thank you!

All of the qualities I have selected accurately describe the excellent service received from our solicitor Juliette Carter.
Also, as I was disabled due to a recent hip replacement and was unable to attend at the office for witness signatures of our Wills, Juliette and her Trainee, Saskia, visited us at our home to witness them. This was very much appreciated.

For years I have been putting off making a Will, but having decided to approach Beeston Shenton I wish I had done it earlier. I received a warm welcome at every stage, from making the initial phone call, to meeting with my solicitor Juliette Carter, through to the final Will signing. Juliette was excellent in understanding what I wanted to include in the Will and answered all my questions. Communication and responses were swift and efficient and my Will was completed within days. I feel confident to return to Beeston Shenton for legal work in the future and highly recommend this excellent firm.

I telephoned regarding the free will service. Arranged an appointment. Juliette discussed what I wanted and the draft of my Will was received the next day. A further appointment to sign the draft Will and it was all completed very easily. Everything was explained fully. Overall an excellent solicitor all dealt with very professionally. I am extremely pleased with the service I received. I now have piece of mind.

We are so grateful that we have chosen the right solicitor, Veronica Du'Quesnay-Brown and her team of Beeston and Shenton Solicitors, for purchasing a property. They are all so friendly and helpful in all ways. We cannot ask for more with their excellent service and their helping hands all the way through the completion of the purchase.
As a very happy and satisfied client, we can highly recommend them. Thank you very much.
