Very helpful
This review is for a different branch.
We have a complex family set-up but Elise navigated her way through it and explained everything to us clearly and with patience. She is very knowledgeable, and was able to deal with all the possible legal complications of our situation. We feel much more settled in our minds that we have settled everything in the best way possible. Thank you.

Our experience of April King has not been that different if our experience of other local solicitors we have dealt with when we moved house recently. Professional, helpful, good communication.

Excellent service
This review is for a different branch.
We recently contacted April King Legal as we wanted to update our wills. The first online call was great and Elise was really helpful and the advise was just what we were looking for.
The second call today to go through the new wills in detail was brilliant and again Elise explained the wording in great detail.
Would highly recommend April King Legal.

We saw the advertisement for April King and called for a brochure to read about the services, we were very impressed and booked an appointment of the free 1hour consultation.
When we spoke to there representative who asked what we needed in our wills.
It was discussed and sorted out to our wishes. When the wills were done we had another meeting and all of the legal jargon was explained in proper English which we understood more easily.
Thanks for a great service. B/J - B

An excellent and professional service..
We wanted to update our wills and April King were recommended to us. Paul understood our requirements, using examples to ensure everything was clear, and guided us through the process in professional manner. He was able to suggest the correct clauses to include in our wills and on receipt Elise walked us through each clause to ensure everything was understood. We feel confident that April King will be able to assist our loved ones further whenever needed. A well deserved 5 star rating. Thank you.

We visited to update our wills in a face to face consultation with Catriona .
She impressed us as a confident and competent professional .
Catriona expressed herself with clarity of communication and, more importantly, in plain English.
She is very knowledgeable and informative and so we feel much relieved now we have consulted with her .
We believe her to be an excellent ambassador for the firm and we have no problem with highly recommending April King and will continue to use the firm as and whenever necessary.
It was a great pity that had to go to Nottingham to do it as their Leicester office is now closed.
A representative from April King Legal responded to this review on 18 October, 2024:
Dear Margaret, We’re delighted to hear that Catriona’s clear communication and professionalism left such a positive impression and that you now feel reassured after updating your Wills. It’s always our goal to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Your kind recommendation means a great deal to us, and we’re here for any future needs you may have.

About this branch
Description
Since 1991, we have led the way in estate planning and bespoke Wills tailored to protect your children and grandchildren's inheritance. As specialists in Wills and estate planning, we can help you understand and deal with issues like keeping inheritance in the family bloodline, future care fees, estranged children, remarriage implications, and why Lasting Powers of Attorney are so important. Our clients are often surprised to learn that standard Wills offer little or no guarantee that their children's inheritance will not pass sideways out of the family bloodline to potential predatory third parties, such as the Local Authority or a former son-in-law or daughter-in-law.
