Company: NICHOLAS J JOHN T/A ST10 LAW
Location / Address: THE GABLES, GALLOWS GREEN, ALTON, STAFFORDSHIRE, ST10 4BN
Postcode(s) Covered: ST, DE
I qualified as a Solicitor in 1998 and since then I have worked in many different kinds of Law firm, from traditional High Street firms through to large Corporate firms in the City of London, and I have dealt with many areas of Law, from Crime and Family Law to Commercial Litigation and Professional Indemnity Insurance Law.
Since 2005, however, I have concentrated on Private Client work, dealing with Will Writing, Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs), Court of Protection Applications, and Probate/Estate Administration.
I was Head of the Private Client department at a local firm for 9 years before I left, in October 2024, to become a Private Client Consultant Solicitor for a top 100 firm called Setfords.
In February 2025, I joined the SWW and set up my own Will Writing business, ST10 LAW.
I undertake all of my Will Writing and Estate Planning work through ST10 LAW and my Probate/Estate Administration work through Setfords.
I have been an Accredited Member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers (formerly Solicitors for the Elderly) since 2023.
I am a member of the Will Writing panel of the largest cancer charity in the World, Cancer Research UK (CRUK); as a result, I am able to offer my clients heavily discounted fees for simple single or mirror Wills under CRUK’s Will Writing Scheme (formerly known as its Free Will Scheme).
My office is based in the beautiful village of Alton in the Staffordshire Moorlands, which is situated between Stoke on Trent and Derby. Home visits within 10 miles are not a problem and do not incur a charge.
In addition to doing my job well, I am keen to offer a very good client experience. I aim to make my clients feel valued, important, safe, and cared for in all their dealings with me.
I have a gentle and soft approach to all my clients, enabling them to feel comfortable with me. This, in turn, encourages them to provide me with the information and instructions I need to do my best for them.
Although I take my job very seriously, I like to be light-hearted in all my client interactions as it helps put clients at ease straight away.
