Maia Creed provided my wife and me with very helpful and insightful advice tailored to our own situation and needs. It allowed us to clarify our instructions so initial drafts were quickly completed and agreed with complete confidence. I would not hesitate in recommending Maia and Atkins Dellow to anyone requiring similar services.

Excellent experience

5

We recently used Nichola’s services for our much needed wills and powers of attorneys.
We have been putting off doing both of these for years as it had always seemed so daunting. However our experience was both enlightening and effortless.
We were seamlessly guided through both wills and power of attorneys and we left feeling as though a huge burden had been lifted.
I would not consider using another lawyer and would thoroughly recommend Nichola.
