Testimonials

I am sending this email to express my appreciation for the work done on my family’s behalf by Joshua, and hopefully you can pass it on to him. It is now exactly a year since my mother died. Joshua had recently helped me to do my will. I thought I would be able to complete the Inheritance Tax forms by myself, but I soon realised that it was far more complicated than I had anticipated and I called Joshua in a bit of a panic! He couldn’t have been more understanding and reassuring, wasn’t even slightly daunted by the complexity of it, and kept me informed of progress right through the process. It felt like a flexible and inclusive approach. He has a particularly good way with clients, and I am probably the worse type as I think I understand it all more than I actually do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joshua.

Andrew & Hilary Roberts
From our very first meeting, it was clear that our executor team was in safe legal hands. More importantly, Joshua genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for the estate.

I unreservedly recommend Girlings, and specifically Joshua Parton. Joshua and his colleagues have constantly demonstrated the highest standards of professionalism, clarity and promptness of communication, expertise, effective engagement with outside agencies such as HMRC, tact and personal sensitivity. In my opinion, Joshua is an outstanding solicitor, focused on and devoted to his clients. On the basis of my experience in this matter, I consider Girlings to be a first-rate, client-centred and fairly priced firm. I will without hesitation engage Joshua and Girlings again when needed.
