Services
Based in Sevenoaks, Kent we provide a comprehensive range of legal services to clients, combining the highest standards of professionalism and efficiency with a friendly, personal service. The firm's practice is large enough to provide advice in all areas of the law undertaken in a provincial practice, but small enough to ensure that the quality of personal attention remains the most important aspect of our service to clients.

We are extremely grateful for Damien Jones’ professionalism in helping us to understand what was required for our Wills as we needed to include a Trust, set up for our son who is Autistic with learning difficulties. It is a huge relief to know we have safely prepared the future for both our daughter and our son when we can no longer be there for them. The whole procedure was organised swiftly and safely by the receptionist and Damien’s Secretary, to ensure we were able to complete our Wills during the Covid restrictions. All phone calls and signing of the Wills were carried out with great professionalism

We had Elizabeth appointed to us for the conveyancing for our house purchase and sale (completed July 2020). Elizabeth was extremely thorough in her work, clear and concise in her communication, readily available on phone and email and friendly and helpful throughout. There was not one single mistake or typo made anywhere throughout the process and we feel our case was in the best possible hands with her. We would highly recommend Elizabeth for your conveyancing or other legal needs.
The only thing that would have improved the service would be to have online documentation signing capabilities

Review of property purchase case - we’ve found F&K extremely slow in responding to queries raised by other solicitor firms, and even discovered by their own clients that some emails haven’t even been looked at until we have chased them at least 2 times. Note that the email arrived at their inbox 15 days until we started chasing. Terrible time management and general discipline around client service! One of the biggest estate agents in Sevenoaks even agrees with this opinion, which should say something about this firm. This opinion is also shared by their own client - so we hope they will give

Emma Houghton, the Will, Tax and Probate Solicitor at Knocker & Foskett assisted me and my family with a complex deputyship, trust and probate matter. She was at all times knowledgeable, efficient and nothing was ever too much trouble. We would highly recommend her and will only instruct her in similar matters in future. Thank you, Emma!
