Melanie is the head of our Private Client Department and has over 30 years' legal experience. In this position she is the supervisor for the work the firm carries out on Wills, trusts, probate and conveyancing. During her career she has helped generations of families and has dealt with over 1000 probates, wills and financial remedy family cases.
This alone can make buying property a stressful situation. When you add into the mix, dealing with estate agents, banks, building societies, local authorities, surveyors and others in the chain, it can also become a difficult and complicated process.

Our team will ensure that your transaction is always dealt with speedily, efficiently and professionally - this is particularly important where completion is required as quickly as possible - ask any estate agent.An individual experienced professional will deal thoroughly and carefully with your legal work.
If you are having issues with someone, either a dispute with another business or in your personal life, how do you seek a resolution?. Though most of us would rather avoid a dispute, sometimes it's just not possible. That's when you need specialist advice, both about the strength of your argument, and how best to resolve the issue.
Employment law can be complicated and few people have a clear idea of all their rights at work. Before resorting to the Law or an Employment Tribunal, it is always best to try and resolve the matter directly with your employer using their Complaints Procedure. The issue can be sorted out more quickly and if you decide to go to a Tribunal, your compensation may be reduced if you haven't tried this approach first.
Specialist legal help is needed to resolve complex problems that arise in relation to divorce, separation, children and other family issues. Important decisions may be made which will affect you and your family for years to come. Our team are available face to face, or via video consultation, so we can help you, wherever you live.

Thomas Dunton Solicitors were recommended to me by a family member for assistance in making a will. Jashree Patel and her secretary were clear, prompt and helpful in their communications, and I'm confident in the service they provided. Would go to the company again.

I have recently used the services of both the Probate and Conveyancing departments at Duntons. Both were excellent. On the Probate side, Catherine Crabtree was meticulous and attentive throughout the process. Denis Jackson and his secretary Keval Patel were equally thorough and helpful on the Conveyancing side. Everything was dealt with professionally and promptly and this reduced the stress of dealing with these matters considerably. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm.

Thomas Dunton were brilliant and especially their solicitor, Sean Cartland, who helped in the sale of our home to a very difficult buyer. Sean responded quickly to emails, was firm when needed to the buyer's solicitor and we felt well supported. Thank you. Nicky & Stephen

We received an excellent service from Thomas Dunton Solicitors (particularly from Sean Cartland who does deserve singling out). They dealt quickly with all legalities surrounding the sale of our property and purchase of our new home. We were kept updated regularly and any enquiries were dealt with proactively which really helped make a stressful process that little bit easier! We would highly recommend them

Where do I begin. What a wonderfully caring and compassionate Solicitors. I was in urgent need of a commissioner of oaths today to sign a Document needed for the loss of some grave deeds. The funeral is tomorrow and our loved ones funeral could not take place unless it was signed today. Due to the current social distancing situation it seemed that no one could help us until Vernon at Thomas Dunton came to our rescue and made it all happen within half an hour of my call. I will be forever grateful for his professionalism, genuine compassion and kindness.
I commend to you Thomas Dunton Solicitors

My wife & I had Mirror Wills compiled by Thomas Dunton Solicitors. We received excellent professional service. All the 'legalise' was carefully explained. Draft Wills were received by us the day after our meeting at their offices. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for help and guidance in this area. The fees are quite reasonable too.
