01/09/24 - Reviewed by Anonymous

From the outset of making contact with the office in Yateley the service, price and expectations on both sides were clear and simple for those of us not akin to Will's and the importance of getting it all on official paper. We had previously written Will's during Covid however circumstances had changed and so we needed complete new Will's.
The lady Solicitor we met with was brilliant. We had completed the pre-meet questionnaires (very helpful and made us think about a few things!) and she asked a few additional questions clearly from her years of experience in this service and of things we had not thought about. Within 2 weeks she had the Will's drafted and back with us for checking and making any amendments. We then met again for the signing of the Will's which was arranged at a mutually convenient time at the Yateley office.
Although we did not want printed copies we did receive as agreed email copies of the Will's and they have archived the Will's for many years however should we need access to these this would not be a problem.
We were delighted with the service from this Solicitor and have already recommended them to others.

Two friends died within eight months of each other and our solicitor dealt with Probate for both of them. This was made more difficult as Probate for the husband had not been applied for before the wife died and his Will was missing. Our Solicitor was brilliant and kept us informed at all stages. She did a lot of chasing on our behalf and I would like to thank her and her team for all their efforts. I have used DB&E for other things in the past and have always found them extremely efficient and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Initial information was clear and concise, as was the explanation of the billing. This would be confirmed in writing after the initial interview. Our problem was with a low cost will writing service which we felt would not do what we wanted it to provide.
The solution of new will with specific additions was recommended . Very happy with explanations of the answers to our questions.

My wife and I live in France and still have property and assets in the UK. We had been thinking of updating our wills for some time as family circumstances have changed somewhat. We are getting older and the same applies to both our children and grandchildren. Our previous Solicitors no longer existed and we had used this firm in another matter and found their service excellent so we contacted them with regard to the matter of our new wills. We arrived in the UK on a Friday morning, had a meeting booked for Friday afternoon to discuss our requirements. The draft wills were emailed to us on Monday morning. We requested a few amendments and had the final meeting on the next Friday for the signing of the wills. Back to France on Monday evening!
The whole process was, from our point of view, painless as everything was done to accommodate our requirements and we cannot thank them enough for their speedy service.

We instructed DBE for professional services for Probate which included Conveyance work at the same Firm. It goes without saying that if this process starts where we were unable to locate our parents Wills and the Conveyance for their property then we needed a service that was above expectations and we found it in DBE. Initially we were faced with Intestate and a house sale without Deeds but original documents were located with others which allowed for what we would rate as a 5 Star service to complete Probate and Conveyancing to sell our family home and to complete our parents Estate. We would recommend DBE to others and in addition we intend to instruct them further for other legal matters going forward.

Having dealt with my late father's estate I was acutely aware that I had neither Will or LPA as I head into my 74th year. The service provided was both thorough and helpful in getting both of these matters sorted out. Thank you.

I found the service provided excellent. The desired result, Lasting Powers of Attorney for me and for my wife, was obtained with a minimum of fuss and in a shorter time than I had expected. I was impressed by the attention to detail shown, and I was kept well informed of progress.
The amount charged was a pleasant surprise; a few years ago My wife and I went to this form for wills and a price for Lasting Powers of Attorney was quoted at the time, there has been no increase in this charge in the few intervening years.

Over the years we have had many requirements for your services and members of your team have been excellent both on the advice and documentation front. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others if the need arises. I am now eighty three years of age and because of recent deaths in the family I have used your services for both the Estates and new Will and Power of Attorney requirements which are currently ongoing. At this time, I cannot provide charges for the current activities.

24/02/21 - Reviewed by Friendly and efficient service from a firm I have used for a long time

My wife and I needed to update our wills. As DB&E had done our previous wills, and as the changes were relatively minor, this was fairly straightforward. As with all our previous dealings with DB&E over the past 25 years or so, the service we received was most professional, courteous, efficient and cost-effective.

The service was impeccable. Naturally so much had to be done by e-mail because of the Covid restrictions, apart of course from signing of the wills which was safely arranged, but everything was explained really well and our questions answered.
We would certainly recommend them.

Mr Foster represented me at my trial in a Court Martial recently. I was found not guilty and I'm so grateful to Mr Foster for his determination, kindness and brilliance in my case. He single handedly dismantled the prosecution witnesses and never gave up on me. I owe my career to this man and will always be grateful for his help in my time of need. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Can’t recommend them highly enough. Tracey Read did a fantastic job untangling issues with our purchase. No stone was left unturned in finding solutions, no details were left unchecked, all promised communications were received and explained to ensure understanding. Without Tracey’s thoroughness we could have easily missed important details that could have left us with big problems in the future. Given the amount of work they had to do they were excellent value for money.

DBE were recommended to my Sister and I when weI had to sell my mothers property, Tracey and Chris worked swiftly to get everything ready to exchange as my mothers health had started to fail , however the other solicitors involved in the chain, were not as diligent as Tracey and Chris and whilst waiting for the rest of the chain to "catch up " the interior of the house was destroyed in a flood, Tracey and chris helped us through this to a succesfull sale and completion . I can't recommend them enough, they were always available , Christopher Rennison on many occasions called in the evening and at weekends when he was working on our case.. They offer amazing value for money with the amount of work they put in .

This firm represented my son who had found himself in a spot of bother with the police. This was a very daunting experience for us as parents as we have never had to deal with anything like this before. James Foster was the solicitor who represented my son at court and he was amazing. He was easy to understand and was the first solicitor we came accross who would actually listen and be very empathic with my son. Thank you so much! I would recommend this firm wholeheartedly and am very grateful for the help provided.

Excellent service, efficient, diligent, professional, meticulous, realistic, and personable. I highly recommend the services of Davies Blunden & Evans, in particular Conveyancing delivered by Tracey Read & Chris Rennison. We have used a few other Conveyancing firms in the past - by far the level of service and attention given to understand our circumstance and needs was highly commendable. Then to delver against this so well, was excellent. Thank you.

This solicitor acted poorly for me which resulted in a financial loss of £22,000.00 along with endless stress in dealing with a restrictive covenant. I am now in the process of taking them to court to recover my losses.They have also broken SRA regulations. If you value your time, money and lack of stress - use another firm!

Jo Thomas may be a partner in a law firm, but money and success clearly cannot buy you manners. I would strongly advise all staff at this poor excuse for a company consider the way they speak to others as it doesn't paint a positive picture of what they're trying to sell.

We are a friendly firm with two offices with a very high number of returning clients. As a firm we strive to look after our clients notwithstanding their different issues and the stresses they may be under .If there is a particular issue I am willing to discuss the same to understand the situation Please send an e-mail to the main office The e-mail is on our website

I wouldn't even give them one star but there is no option to give zero. This firm wrote my mums will when she was in last stages of cancer. When she died her will was contested and the solicitor that wrote it has completely contradicted what was in the notes despite having no documentation to the contrary and there being will notes that say otherwise. They have also showed no compassion for the loss of my mum. There letters are also really poor and frequently use the wrong names and wrong information. I have complained about this but received an unsatisfactory response so unfortunately will have to escalate this complaint. They have caused my family a lot of distress. I would stay away from using this law firm to write your will if you want your wishes followed after death.
