Sara provided a professional, efficient, and knowledgeable service. Friendly and approachable, she ensured a smooth process with clear, sensible advice. Having direct contact with her made everything straightforward. The bill was correct with fixed fees, and I was kept fully aware throughout. I would use her services again.

Making our Wills

5

Have had a business with Hansells, North Walsham before so they were our 1st port of call when we needed to do our wills. From 1st appointment with Sara to conclusion and signing everydetail was stressless and quick handed.
Sara was professional and friendly to put us at ease, explaining everything in easy to understand terms and offering advice on issues we hadn't thought of, extremely helpful and efficient. Would always go back if we need anything and highly recommended.
