First Class Service

I have used Wolferstans before to write both my late husbands and my wills. Since his death it has been necessary to re-write my own will to update certain aspects whilst staying true to my late husbands wishes. I was treated with respect, courtesy and kindness and advised how best to proceed.

Phoneability

5

The one thing I really liked was the fact we could actually phone and talk to Emma direct, not just online. If Emma was not available, someone always managed to talk to us and take a message for her. Service throughout dealing with this matter was excellent. I would strongly recommend Wolferstans if anyone.

This is the third time I have taken advantage of Wolferstans Solicitors. Whilst the fees appear to be on the high side, I have always found the service provided is of the highest standard of professional service. I would most certainly use their services again if I had a need to.
