Client testimonials:
"Matthew and colleagues, you gave me your time when I needed it most and that is the most precious gift of all. Amazing, thank you so much."
"What can l say apart from 5* star service from both Matthew Field and Kelly Stillman (PA). This has been a very complicated situation since my fathers passing last year involving POA, wills and monies from my dads sale of his property etc. We certainly couldn’t have achieved what we have so quickly without their help. Thank you both so much and l would without doubt recommend SMR Solicitors to anybody either locally or looking for a top solicitor on the South Coast."
"Excellent service provided by Kelly and Matt and all at SMR dealing with our late father house sale and his personal assets. Once again thank you."
"A huge thank you to Matthew Field at SMR Solicitors for his outstanding service. I couldn't be happier with the service and would highly recommend Matthew and SMR Solicitors to anyone. I will certainly use them again without hesitation."
"My brother and I were introduced to Matthew Field through a family member following the death of my father. Matthew and his team handled the estate and I was happy with their expertise and diligence (especially in the face of some downright evasive companies!)."
