Easy To Update Our Wills

Michelle accommodated us at a mutually convenient time when all parties could attend. She brought us up to date with options not previously considered. It was helpful to have a better understanding. We appreciated the professional advice and how easy it was to obtain what we needed for peace of mind.

Well worth it!

I would recommend that people use a solicitor to draw up LPAs. Michelle was very clear explaining what may make a difference in future for me and my attorneys. It was reassuring to have someone experienced and knowledgeable guiding me through the process and sorting all the paperwork. Well worth it.

Jonathan was amazing. No need to chase etc like you sometime need to with some solicitors he just got on and sent regular updates of the buying process, we always knew where we were and he made everything as clear as possible. We had quite a stressful move and the buyers conveyancer was useless and Jonathan went above and beyond to help us as did his lovely receptionist Sarah. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again if needed!
