Professional and efficient

I have used Claire Buttress's services now on several occasions. Each time I have found her very professional and efficient. I would most certainly recommend her.

And Foort Taylor's fees are very competitive.

Wills made easy - and promptly

5

Claire made the whole process of preparing our wills smooth and hassle-free. She outlined clearly the various types of will, explained the legal jargon and enabled my wife and me to make informed decisions. Our wills were prepared quickly within a relatively short timeframe. Cost very reasonable.

Along with Claire, everyone we have met from Foort Tayler have been approachable, friendly and professional.
