Perfect Service
We needed to alter our wills and ask about property trusts. We had previously dealt with Wolferstans. Our solicitor Mrs Banner talked us through what we required and made sure we understood what our new wills entailed. Receptionists were welcoming and our appointments were always on time and telephone conversations were helpful.

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
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.
