A FREE initial interview is available on request whatever your legal problem. If you need further help we can provide an estimate of fees, in writing, or details of our charging rates. In litigation matters an hourly charge is often quoted and this can also be the case for other types of work although we would normally prefer to quote a fixed fee or fee based on per centage value of assets being dealt with in relation to Probate matters.

Can highly recommend this solicitors, so professional and nothing is too much trouble for them, we had Dee Fazio, dealing with our late father's estate, and even though we live near London Heathrow, she did everything she could, to reduce the amount of journeys we had to make to Somerset, milford & dormer solicitors made our lives so easy, at such an awful time. And I have to mention the delightful receptionist, who I spoke to several times, keep up the good work, such a lovely and happy person... Thankyou.... We are forever grateful.

Thank you so much Dee Fazio & team. Made things much easier for us, at a very difficult time. Dee arranged & organised everything, from an appointment to register our Dads death , to arrangements for the swear. All this was done at short notice , due to limited time and a long journey to Somerset for us. Dee explained everything clearly to us & as many times as we needed. Nothing was too much trouble & no question too small. Highly recommended, we can't thank you enough.
