We're approachable, highly qualified solicitors. We work with clients who appreciate the value of our expertise and experience. We know that behind every piece of paper or dispute, there are people.

Services
Shentons has been helping the residents and businesses in and around Winchester for at least 150 years. We have been researching our history and, with the help of The Law Society, we have traced our legal ancestry back to William Shenton. His younger brother Chalenor (sometimes spelt Shalenor) Shenton, who was a trainee solicitor in the firm of Adams, Moberly, Shenton and Faithfull.
We can help you with all areas of the law concerning buying, selling, renting, living in, and leasing a property. Legal procedures involving property and conveyancing can be lengthy and complicated, making the process stressful. The wrong advice can lead to problems later. Our efficient and experienced team understand the pressures upon our clients and work through the processes smoothly and efficiently. You benefit from our local knowledge of the property market in Winchester and the surrounding areas.
We can help you proactively determine your wishes and ensure they are met. Whether you want the peace of mind a considered Will can bring, support and advice on how to administer an estate, or create provision for your dependants through Trusts and Inheritance Tax Planning, our experienced team can help you.
All of our clients have different reasons for needing an expert in Family Law; we always start with you and find out about your particular circumstances. As highly experienced family lawyers who are sensitive and clear communicators, we then work with you to create a legal strategy that will deliver the best possible outcome for you.

Shentons were the duty solicitors who represented me when taken into custody, I have now been advised the police will be taking No Further Action against me. Although there was nothing particularly controversial about what to disclose at my taped police interview it was reassuring to have the advice and backing of a competent legal representative.

Excellent services, dealing with sensitive family matters. Abigail has been wonderful. She is considerate, conscientious & diligent when considering our circumstances. You can really feel confident with Shentons. I have used this solicitors since 2007 and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future. Thank you for all you do- highly recommend!

We had a very bad experience with Lucy Spollin one of the partners, overcharging us after giving us a quotation. It seems like a way of getting business. We complained and got some money back but the fact that we had to go through a formal complaint process was not great. The overcharge was so much that even after some refund we still paid more than expected.
We got the breakdown and for instance there was a charge for confirming the deposit had arrived in their bank account. Something that a secretary should do without any charges Lucy confirmed at the cost of about 20 if I remember! Happy to provide evidence! Also we had to chase so much to start with and got quite worried. That eventually resolved itself but overall it wasn't a positive experience. The job got done at the end but I will never use their services or recommend to anyone.

Fantastic service. We used Shentons to buy a property and sell our old one. The process had a few obstacles along the way which seemed stressful at first, but Shentons were able to sort everything out smoothly and professionally. I would definitely use them again - you're guaranteed an excellent service when you go with a quality firm.

Patrick Hunter assisted my father brother and myself through the probate and will reading of my late mother. He was patient, attentive and compassionate throughout the whole process. So so helpful especially with my father. He went on to help Dad set up his health and welfare lasting power of attorney. We can't thank him enough.

Had the misfortune of trying to deal with this Company acting as probate solicitors for the disposal of an estate. They washed their hands of the questionable techniques employed by their chosen local estate agent and I was roundly messed about to the point I lost the buyer of my own property twice - deal with extreme caution as they don't give any impression of caring about the effects of their actions or those of their agents.

Don't waste your time here. They sing the bells and whistles, but are a complete flap and waste your time. Making you wait upto 30 mins past appointment times and provide you with misguided information. I wasted 3 days and 2 hours of my time with this firm. If it's a Civil matter, go with Irwin Mitchell instead, your time will be better spent.
