Helen was personable, helpful and took care to explain everything clearly. Only downside for me was the location. The office in town was far more convenient.

Thank you to Helen and staff at Milton Keynes. Dealing with the estate of a loved one is always very emotional and I was looked after with professionalism and kindness. Probate arrived a lot sooner than expected, which was a bonus!

Outstanding Service

5

I can’t thank Helen Simpson and Woodfines LLP enough for their outstanding service in dealing with my late father’s will and probate. From the outset, they were highly professional and efficient. They guided us through what was a very emotional and sometimes complex process with clarity and sensitivity, always ensuring we fully understood each stage.

Their communication was excellent throughout every query we had was answered promptly and thoroughly. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a difficult time much easier to navigate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and professional legal support.

Peace of mind

4

I had complete confidence in contacting Woodfines who have been our solicitors for many years. Previously had LPA's & Wills prepared for my late husband and I, so naturally came to them for my own needs following the loss of my husband in 2022. My experience has been one of total understanding and caring, professional in approach with efficiency and effectiveness in every way, giving me peace of mind. To Woodfines thanks you.
