Excellent Service

Thank you to Helen and staff at Milton Keynes. Dealing with the estate of a loved one is always very emotional and I was looked after with professionalism and kindness. Probate arrived a lot sooner than expected, which was a bonus!

Outstanding Service

I can’t thank Helen Simpson and Woodfines LLP enough for their outstanding service in dealing with my late father’s will and probate. From the outset, they were highly professional and efficient. They guided us through what was a very emotional and sometimes complex process with clarity and sensitivity, always ensuring we fully understood each stage.

Their communication was excellent throughout every query we had was answered promptly and thoroughly. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a difficult time much easier to navigate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and professional legal support.

House sale

Tracy dealt professionally with what turned out to be a very long and protracted house sale (caused by potential buyers!) of my parents house. She communicated very well with our estate agents (as mentioned by them) and with the buyers solicitors. It was also very helpful to be able to have face to face short meetings with her and her team. The price charged for the service was very reasonable.

Preparation of Will

Preparing my will was a job I kept putting off but knew was important to do as if anything happens to me I want the process of sorting my estate to be as easy as possible for my family.
Shireena went through the will preparation with me. She was very personable and explained everything very clearly and answered all of my questions. There were some clauses I needed to pause and think about and Shireena gave me the time to consider them.
My will is now finalised and is one less thing to worry about.

Simple and straight forward

Rebecca explained everything at our first meeting - including costs, and then worked through the probate process keeping us informed of progress or lack of it from the authorities. All- in-all a fairly painless experience.

A wonderful and rewarding experience with Tracy Rosales

When my path crossed with Tracy's it was a very good day. Navigating the tricky and often mind-blowing obstacles during our house sale was made all the easier due to Tracy's kind and patient explanations. Boy, does that woman have patience! Tracy has a superb sense of humour which meant she was able to talk me down when the stress threatened to overwhelm me and her explanations and ways to overcome tricky situations were so reassuring. We became very fond of our solicitor and that is testimony to her people skills. A real asset to the firm.

Disgusting customer service. I call asking for advice. As soon as I said I was a tenant and wasn’t a home owner they shut me down. Wouldn’t help me at all or let me explain why I needed advice. They just assuming I could afford legal fees. They put the phone down on me. If I’ve never been treated so badly I could give 0 stars I would.

Woodfines, were highly recommended by the estate agents and I can see why. Everything was done professionally and timely all the Team have totally took the stress out of helping with the purchase of a commercial building, with difficulties such as initial investor puling out in the last minute. I knew exactly what paperwork they required and all the important documents have all been returned very promptly.
All communications at high level in a very efficient manner, with them looking for our interest at best in liaising with all stakeholders.
A Big thank you to Woodfines Solicitors for all your help on the purchase we have completed recently! Highly recommended!

NO, I do not recommend for conveyancing.
They have caused so much stress, they rarely answer calls or call back. They are rude when they do and are doing basic conveyancing long after you are supposed to have exchanged. Risking a complete collapse of a house sale through their own incompetence.
