Excellent service

Melissa dealt with probate for us and the making of new wills.
She gave us excellent advice; especially welcome in an area of our wills we hadn't considered.
Melissa is friendly, very professional and explained everything clearly. It was a pleasure to deal with her.

Mellissa Hughes is extremely professional, very helpful and pleasant to deal with. She lead me through the process with ease answering any worries and questions I had. BL&J have been my family Solicitors for approximately 35 years and I would highly recommend the firm and the services they provide.

Thankyou Mellissa for your communications and assistance in producing my will.

Kevin Shields.
