Chilcotts Law

We have legal expertise in specialist areas, and outstanding legal knowledge.

Chilcotts Law has a history dating back to the 1800’s. Over time, we have built up a reputation in Tavistock and surrounding areas as an experienced and knowledgeable firm with a strong client base. However, not a firm to rest on its laurels, we have now joined forces to offer our clients, both new and existing, legal expertise in the specialist areas of law not usually found within your typical high-street practice.

It Really Is ‘All About You’

Chilcotts Law aims to set the standard for how a Law Firm should be. Our focus is on our clients and it really is ‘all about you’. For us, that means making sure our clients are completely happy – whether that is with the service they receive, the advice they are given, or working around our clients to ensure we are as flexible and lateral thinking in the way we approach your instructions. We understand that many of our clients lead busy lives, so we try to fit our appointment times around you – whether that is in your lunch hour or after work. We are equally happy to visit you at home or in a care setting should that be your place of residence. For those clients who are not local to our offices we can offer skpe and facetime calls. We understand that our clients want their matters resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible and at Chilcotts Law, we work with you to ensure we meet your needs, providing a timely service as well as ensuring the provision of sound advice.

Whilst we pride ourselves on serving the local community, we also serve clients across the UK. Due to the nature of the work we do and the fact we are specialists in our field, many of our cases have been reported in the National media.

We hold the Law Society Accreditation for the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and the Mental Health Tribunal Panel Accreditation as well as membership of Solicitors for the Elderly. You can rest assured, you are in good hands.

If there is an area of Law which we do not cover, we will endeavour to assist in referring you to a known and reputable solicitor who can deal with your matter.

Testimonials

“A very good overall service, we were kept up to date with progress as it happened.”

“With Anne’s help, we have now been granted CHC funding for four and a half out of five years. We have no doubt that without her help we would have achieved nothing and the whole exercise would have been completely futile. Our only regret is that we did not approach her sooner.”

"Very satisfied and thank you for all your assistance."

"David Wilde was totally brilliant in all the advice that he gave me during this stressful period. It was really reassuring that I could ask his advice on my responsibilities as executor of my mothers will and the sale of her house. He made some really helpful suggestions that reduced the potential for difficulties. He also advised on the purchase of a flat for a member of the family."

“My belief is that Anne is respected in many areas of CHC organisations as a person who fights for what is right and not for spurious claims."

"We felt that this was far more than a job to her, it was a personal crusade for justice for my Mum who was a frail old lady. We cannot recommend Anne Reed highly enough."

"Throughout the process we received an outstanding personal service from Anne Reed and her team which resulted in our application being approved. The attention to detail and the depth of previous personal experience brought to the process would be almost impossible to find elsewhere."

"David Wilde could not have done better he has been totally excellent in both the speed that he has dealt with my numerous queries and the quality of the advice that he has given."

“Anne Reed clearly has considerable experience in dealing with NHS organisations using her legal and nursing background to take them on.”

“My family have always used Chilcotts and it is always easy to contact your firm.”

“We cannot recommend the firm highly enough – they provided invaluable advice and empathy throughout our case and during a difficult time for us. We would not have succeeded without them.”

“A brilliant and friendly approach which helped me when trying to understand the difficulties I was facing around such a specialist area of law.”

"Our Solicitor, Jo Taylor, was incredibly knowledgeable about the Mental Health Act. She was always extremely helpful, conscientious and professional in the way she dealt with our case."
