Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- James Burrows, partner and team leader, is without a doubt the best contentious trust and probate solicitor in Cornwall. He knows the law, he knows the right tactics, and he certainly knows which of the clotted cream or jam comes first. Partner Anna Garde-Evans, in Devon, is a remarkably steely but also sensitive solicitor, whose drive is relentlessly focused on achieving the best outcome for her clients. Associate Emily Griffiths is completely reliable and is clearly one to watch for the future.
- Stephens Scown is not just the complete package. They are always on the front foot, staying ahead of the other side, and giving their clients the best chance of a successful outcome.
