Reviews
I have been using Ellis Jones Solicitors for some years now. I have used them both in a business and personal capacity!! What is great about this firm is that not only are they local to me but they offer specialists in every area of law.
Theresa Mills is my main contact working in Wills, Trusts and Probate. Theresa in my opinion is exceptional at her job. She is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and very caring in her approach!! She explains everything with complete clarity and always gives a price up front! For these reasons I have developed a wonderful relationship with her and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her!!
