After finally being able to approach a Solicitor regarding our mums affairs and her placement in a care home after her husband died. The whole sorry business suddenly became clear and understandable. We have felt with their support able to do the full court of protection process which became painless

I have been represented on 2 seperate occasions for family matters. The service I received was extremely professional and the daunting process was made very clear. Family matters can easily become messy, but things were always kept things as relevant as possible in order to make the process easier whilst also keeping costs down.
