LPA - Heath and Welfare

Myself and family attended an appointment with Judith Bromley and completed the paperwork for my LPA. Judith was so helpful, knowledgeable and professional in meeting all our requirements. After Aspinall Solicitors retired I now regard Russell and Russell as our family solicitors.

Making a Will

Making a Will is something you can keep putting off for another day. Time passes you by and you realise now is the time.
What seems like a challenge is made easier with the friendly and helpful staff. Everything is explained fully to you so you get a clearer picture and a reassurance. I will definitely recommend Russell and Russell Solicitors. They give you peace of mind.

Stress free experience

I knew this was a process I address but having recently lost my husband I was feeling anxious not having him by my side, but I needn't have worried. The second I met Elizabeth I felt completely at ease, almost like we were old friends. Her charm and knowledgeable smile actually made this a pleasure to complete.
I walked away with a smile and a huge weight lifted of my shoulders.
