Making Wills

5

We recently took advantage of Free Wills month having been let down by a National firm, who were inefficient and never responded to us when we needed to speak with them about matters we needed advice on. In the end we gave up with them and decided face to face with a Solicitor was the answer which was what we should have done initially. Duncan was friendly, helpful and the process was so less stressful than trying to do online zoom calls with the other firm, a good decision made and would definitely recommend. Would use again.

No fuss. No hassle. From start to finish.
Thank you. Something we needed to do and Rutters assistance made the entire process uncomplicated and easy to process and a great weight off our shoulders knowing our son was involved throughout.
As we have previously used the company since 2001 for various legal issues we felt Rutters was our first choice for advice.
