Civil Litigation
Manage your affairs, whether it’s business or personal
Problems can still sometimes occur that are impossible to resolve without going to court. Whether you are considering taking legal action against someone, or need to defend an action brought against you or your business, AMD Solicitors can help.
EXPERIENCED ADVICE
Whether you want to initiate legal proceedings or are on the receiving end of them, one of the most important things to establish is how strong your case is and the likelihood of you achieving the outcome you desire in court. AMD Solicitors have been established for over sixty years and our team have decades of experience between them, meaning we can give you an honest, realistic assessment of your chances. We will never recommend going to court unless we believe you have a good chance of success.
We will also advise you about how long the process might take and how much it could cost, so you have the best possible information before deciding whether to proceed or seek other options.

What our Clients say
“We wrote our new wills with the assistance of Brenda Smyth at AMD solicitors in Henleaze. Brenda was extremely helpful and took the time to explain all the elements of the new wills to us, and carefully explained what would be in our best interests. Highly recommended”.

“The services of AMD Solicitors (Henleaze, Bristol branch) and in particular those from Jo Morris and team members Katie Andrews and Laura Webber; who professionally, with kindness, and in a timely manner delivered against my request, responded to communications, and made the overall process run smooth. I’d formally like to thank them and the branch for the pleasure of working with such remarkable people. I would highly recommend anyone requiring legal services, to consider getting in contact with the AMD team”.

“Well, it’s been a few weeks now since we conclude the separate purchase and sale for my father’s move to a St Monica Trust property.
Amanda and Laura at AMD were quite superb; Amanda led the process expertly with knowledge of the unique SMT processes but Laura was there to support any time Amanda wasn’t available. It all worked seamlessly and they took any potential stress out of the situation.
They were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and gave reassurance just at moments that might cause panic! We were thrilled with our choice for conveyancing. Also a special mention for Jo who was our first point of contact and identified how AMD could help when I first enquired.
What a great team. Thanks AMD!”
