New Office Opening

1st November 2022

Maples Solicitors LLP are delighted to announce the opening of our new office in Doncaster from 1st November 2022.

This office will be headed up by our Property Partner Gemma Mayer with the assistance of Paralegal Sabrina Pallucci.

Gemma is local born and has over 10 years’ experience in Commercial, Agricultural and Residential Property matters.

Gemma commented “after growing up locally and attending Liverpool John Moores University, the Law took me to Lincolnshire where I spent 12 years practising in a variety of different property matters. In early 2021 my family and I took the decision to move back “home” and on returning to the area I thought, what could be better than doing what I love, in a part of the country that I love, and that is where the decision to open an office in Doncaster came from. The rest of the Partners at Maples have been fantastic in supporting me with this idea and we hope this is the first step to a long and successful stay in the area”.

As well as Gemma’s expertise in a variety of property matters, Maples are also able to assist you with a range of other legal services from making a Will, to Matrimonial issues, to Employment issues and virtually everything in between.

Please do not hesitate to contact our switchboard on 01775 722261 who will be happy to help.

Maples Succeed/Application/restriction for press

19th February 2010

In one of our high profile criminal cases which was attracting significant media attention both nationally and locally Maples has successfully applied to the Crown Court for an order which restricts the image of our client from being published and to prevent details of the client’s address including the county in which our client resides from being published.

The Order was made under the Contempt of Court Act 1981 s11 and any breach of the Order could be dealt with by a period of imprisonment or a fine against the offending party. It is unusual for this type of Order to be obtained as the fundamental principle in the Criminal Courts is that not only will justice be done, but it will be seen to be done.

Clearly due to the highly sensitive nature of the case, we are unable to furnish you with any further details save to say this is yet another example of the top quality service that we continue to provide to our clients.

Should you require any advice in respect of Criminal Law, Regulatory Offences or Motoring matters please do not hesitate to contact Daven Naghen or Anita Toal on our office number.

Testimonials

Jamie Dobbs FCILEx

"I should like to take this opportunity to express my very sincere and grateful thanks for Jamie's unfailing helpfulness and efficiency in all aspects of the handling of my late stepmother's estate. Jamie have always replied to my (many!) queries promptly and comprehensively which has been a enormous help throughout what I know can be a fraught and stressful process. Sadly, it is increasingly rare these days to experience the highs standards of service that Jamie has provided."

Gemma Mayer LLB

"I would highly recommend Maples Solicitors, especially Gemma Mayer, for any conveyancing work. The level of support and professionalism was excellent at all times. I also felt if I needed to ask or clarify anything that it was not an issue. Buying and selling a house is stressful enough, but Gemma helped me through it step by step."

Anita Toal LLB BA

"I think you are brilliant. You can use my comments above. You are efficient, friendly and quite clearly very good at what you do. Mainly you don’t leave people hanging around too long for." "So easy to talk to her and she understood what I wanted. She put me at ease and I cant thank her enough"

James Turner BA

James Turner was extremely helpful with our buying process. Everything went smoothly. We are very happy with the level of professionalism demonstrated by the office. Highly recommended solicitors. Will definitely do business with them again.

Daven Naghen LLB

"Daven provided an excellent service, from attending the first interview with me to the final court appearance. He filled me full of confidence that he would defend me to which he did and come out with an excellent outcome in view of my position that I had put myself in."

Faye Blair LLB

Faye was excellent, sensitive and acted very well to the time constraints we faced. Great service and dealt with compassion at such sad times made the process less painful very professional.

Jamie Dobbs GCILEx

Over the last forty years I have cause to deal with many law firms both in a personal and professional capacity, including some ‘top’ London Companies. In all of those dealings I have never found anyone as proactive and so willing to offer help and advice as Jamie Dobbs. During the last two years Jamie guided my parents through the completion of Lasting Powers of Attorney. Helped myself with the use of the LPA and recently dealing with Probate and Estate Administration following their death.

Mike Pepper MA

Mike Pepper gave us excellent advice. He was always most helpful and accommodating giving lucid explanations every step of the way. Thank you Mike.

Donna Sandison FCILEx

Donna has been helpful and professional every step of the way during the process. Always on hand to answer any queries and totally professional and friendly at all times.
