Consistency in dealing with several matters

We have returned several times to George Green LLP, dealing with Louise Axford. We have always been given personal attention and sound advice. Most recently, this was to arrange Lasting Powers of Attorney for both financial affairs and health and welfare. The service was of the usual high standard and is strongly recommended.

My fiancée and I required wills and lasting power of attorneys. We were recommended to Louise Axford by a friend. We were both very pleased with Louise and her practical, sensible advice as well as her excellent legal knowledge. Two very happy and satisfied clients. We would certainly pass on our recommendations of Louise to our friends.

Victims of McClures - We came to see Louise Axford because we became victims of the former company, McClures who are no longer trading. We had our house in trust with them, they had put their names on our deeds we were never told the implications. Louise helped me build my trust again with legal people. She was really good explaining everything to us helping us to understand, Brilliant service.
