Ann McCabe Solicitors

Having failed to ‘do it myself’ in respect of setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney for me and my wife, we decided to handover the work to a solicitor (and add an update to our wills).

Hitherto we were clients of Grindey’s in Stoke, who now have folded. We therefore had to find a new firm of solicitors.

We wanted a local (to Clayton) firm,
with experienced staff to handle our business. Using Google (the Patron Saint of Search Engines and Rapid Internet Responses), we chose McCabe’s.

Following a couple of friendly meetings with the relevant staff, there was a rapid turnaround and all was wrapped up.

It was not as cheap as ‘doing it myself’ but we now can sit back knowing that the LPAs and Wills for me and my wife and our children are watertight and what we wanted.

I commend McCabe’s.

My husband and I made an appointment with Adele Baskerville to arrange our Will.
She was very thorough and, if we didn’t quite understand anything, she willingly went over the subject again.

We have now asked Adele to sort out the two Lasting Powers of Attorney (financial and health). She sent a letter notifying us of their fees for this work so we were made aware from the start. This is how a business should function with no surprise invoices sent out to clients (as we have experienced in the past with another firm of solicitors).

Should you require the services of a solicitor in the future and would like clarity on their charges, then this is the firm for you!!

I've know Ann for over 5 years now, she is very professional, helpful, caring and will give you advice based upon your needs.

The process was explained and carried out efficiently and timeously

I have recently worked with Jemma on a tricky divorce, predominantly child arrangements, and I can honestly say I couldn't have got this far without her. Her knowledgeable, empathetic, no-nonsense approach, coupled with a great tenacity and sense of humour, has been a life saver in dark times. She knew exactly what to do at every turn, responding quickly and advising me well beyond the call of duty. I have relied on her honesty at times, which was always valued and fair. She's kept me going, helped me save resources, and taught me so much along the way. I'm carrying so much of that learning through into the bit beyond legalities too. You couldn't wish for better representation. I have also worked with Ann on financial matters and, when Jemma was away, on child matters, and have found her to be equally professional, approachable and knowledgeable.

Jemma and her team have been fantastic in helping me, with first class advice and a friendly efficient service. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I'm forever grateful. Thank you.

We decided a couple of years ago it was time to make our wills. We had no idea how to go about it and because of reviews I had seen we decided to go to Ann McCabe. We were made very welcome and put at ease straight away. We have them a brief as to what we wanted and they took loads of notes plus they told us of "what if" scenarios that we would never have been aware of. They drew up a draft copy within the week and sent it to us for approval. Apart from a few minor things we forgot all was good. We spoke a few times to Emma (Paxton) who was extremely helpful and obliging. We recently had to amend it slightly and again Emma was extremely helpful and all went smoothly.
All in all we had a great experience and would HIGHLY recommend anyone to use them. You won't be disappointed. Give them a try.
Can only give them the full five stars.

Did everything we needed with no hassle.

Many thanks to Daniel and Sammi for dealing with my late parents house sale. We (the executors) had a great service throughout, dealing with the inevitable queries and concerns of the buyers and their solicitors swiftly and effectively, meaning a straight forward no hiccups experience for us from start to finish.

Great job and would highly recommend Ann McCabe Solicitors
