Thanks for the brilliant service.
From start to finish Jode was efficient, organised and thoroughly professional. He was courteous and empathetic when dealing with my Will questions and details and time and care was taken throughout. The draft was sent through on time and meeting in person to sign the document was exactly on time and handled with sensitivity and with a very personable nature. I was given precise details of finding the venue and all emails were answered promptly and efficiently. I was very impressed and appreciative of the calm and professional approach from Jode.
