Steve and Nicky were incredible during our recent house purchase. Their communication was clear throughout, which made a stressful process much easier to manage… Steve was consistently thorough, professional, and reassuring… We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve, Nicky, and the wider Wollens team. If we ever move again, we’ll be using them without question. – N., June 2026

Reuben Barnett
Associate Solicitor
I completed my law degree at the University of Exeter in 2013 and commenced my training contract with Wollens in 2014, where I qualified as a Solicitor into the residential property department.
Having gained valuable experience since qualifying, I have recently returned to Wollens as an Associate Solicitor in the commercial property department, where I advise clients on a broad range of commercial property matters. I take a practical, client‑focused approach and enjoy working closely with businesses and individuals to help transactions progress smoothly and efficiently.
My previous experience in residential property gives me a strong grounding in property law and a clear understanding of the importance of communication, attention to detail and managing transactions with care.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family. In particular, I love walking the dog and supporting Torquay United FC, visiting the mighty Plainmoor as often as possible.

Testimonials
Wollens have been absolutely fantastic during the entire case but my experience working with Amelia has been exceptional. I cannot fault anything about her work and will most definitely recommend/request her if myself or anyone else of that matter needs legal advice/representation. – H., July 2026
The caring and understanding I received from my solicitor was absolutely superb… I would highly recommend her and the firm. – N.S., August 2026
I cannot praise Wollens Barnstaple branch highly enough for excellent, professional service when selling and purchasing property. I would happily recommend them and intend using them again for further legal matters. Thank you so much Andrew Wood for making it all such a smooth and stress free process.
My will was all done remotely by phone, notes, letters due to the distance involved – about 145 miles, general health and Covid restrictions.
More recently I had a serious illness with loss of driving license and other lasting problems but I have been very lucky with the outcome. What seemed difficult was much easier with the help I was given. Excellent service. Solicitor Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett have been friendly, considerate, shown knowledge in an understanding way throughout preparing my will – and I have never met them.
Wollens is highly recommended.
Craig and Shirley at Wollen’s have supported us throughout a particularly tricky matter, where usual routes of communication were not possible. The advice that we were given was always very clear and concise and we found Wollen’s very responsive to any queries or concerns. They were conscious of the weighty emotional element involved but very mindful of removing the emotion from decision making processes, which made it easier to see the bigger picture. I would certainly recommend to friends or colleagues requiring legal support.
