Service provided was professional and friendly. it was considerate and not rushed. It felt very satisfactory in process and outcome. Options were explored and considered in a tactful manner. Decisions were discussed in an informative and considerate way. Additionally, front desk staff were helpful in phone and face-to-face communication.

Very professional and effective service

GWL have provided two conveyancing services and two Lasting Power of Attorneys for me over the past 4 years. I have nothing but praise for the way in which all services have been undertaken on my behalf and would highly recommend them. Issues were dealt with quickly, communication was excellent and documentation was provided with a very fast turn around.

Wills

Approached GWL to write Wills for myself and my wife, our requirements were not as straight forward as we thought and Peter Marsh explained in a clear, concise and easily understood way the different options open to us. We agreed on an option that suited both of us and the draft Wills were drawn up and sent to us the next day, we accepted the drafts and signed the following day. The knowledge and service were 1st class and I would highly recommend the practise.

Mr Peter Marsh acted on behalf of myself and my husband in drawing up LPA and our Wills. Everything was completed quickly, efficiently and in a relaxed and friendly way. Would recommend this firm and would not hesitate in using them again, if required, in the future.
