So simple to do!

5

My wife and I had not paid attention to sorting out Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. It seemed complicated and time consuming. How wrong we were - the process was simple, timely and straightforward. It was an important matter and it was simple for us to complete.

Making a Will

5

It came as a huge relief to me to discover that my solicitor immediately grasped what I was trying to do for my family. I expected it to be complicated and difficult. Sarah dealt with this quickly and also picked up the loose ends which I had not thought about. This was a splendid experience for an elderly widow unaccustomed to dealing with such matters. This is the second time Heringtons have undertaken legal work for me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

The price quoted was the price paid - no hassles

5

When Sarah did our Wills and Power of Attorney she explained it all in plain English, she quoted a price and stuck to that price, no problems, no hidden extras, no hassle.

Having recently visited my Nan who lives in Bexhill she could not stop telling me about how polite, respectable and understanding Sarah Clifton was from Heringons. Naturally I worry because I live so far away but it gives me so much more confidence knowing she can call your office and be made to feel so welcome. She can be a nuisance (sorry nan) but she clearly has got a soft spot for Sarah and her assistant Ruby (I am sure she said Ruby but apologies if not quite right). Thank you from all the family. We do appreciate your patience and kindness.
