I was recommended to Louise Axford by a friend, the whole process from start to finish was explained to me in a simple yet professional manner.
Louise, as were all the staff, was very friendly, smiley and very efficient. It's not a nice process to think about your will but Louise made me feel at ease.
Thank you so much I would not hesitate recommending George Green solicitors.

Will - home visit
My wife being disabled was very happy to do the will amendment all at home to protect our halves of the estate for our children in the event of our demise. Excellent service and well priced.

Probate
Although I had worked as a secretary at a solicitors office for a number of years I had never had the role of executrix of a will.
It therefore came as rather a shock when I took on the role for my sister-in-law's estate as to how much had changed.
The staff at George Green were very helpful and therefore made my task that much easier.

Probate
The most painful time of my life - having to apply for probate after just losing my wife suddenly. I have used George Green solicitors on four or five occasions over the past twenty odd years and they have always done a great and professional job on each occasion. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Louise Axford and her team for the excellent work they did in obtaining my grant of probate on my behalf. I would strongly recommend George Green solicitors to anyone wanting sound legal advice or action. On this occasion it was not the legal stuff I will remember but the warmth, kindness and understanding shown to me which I will treasure.
