Been a wheelchair user and the issues that come with it Melanie Pickering made me and my family comfortable in her presence. She is a lovely lady and would turn to her for solicitor related issues without questions. Thank you dear Melanie and accompanying staff. Wicked sense of humour to add.”

Annette Shaw – ReviewSolicitors
“Having made a decision to re-write our pensions and also cancel the trusts we had in place we met with Melanie Pickering. Explaining our wishes was probably the most input we had to make. From that point onwards she made everything easy to understand, explaining the next steps in layman terms. We would highly recommend her and the team at Thornton Jones without hesitation.”
