Excellent sevice

We were met by Nicholas John who initially offered us a free short advice session.
He was professional but down to earth and very easy to relate to made you feel comfortable and at ease.
No stuffed shirts a very pleasant experience.
The advice Nick gave was excellent everything we asked was clearly explained and we actioned his advice.
We were recommended by a family member and were not disappointed.
Would highly recommend.

I felt Mr John understood my position after the sudden death of my husband. Treated with empathy and honesty which helped us as a family feel we were in safe hands.

LPA & Wills

We received very clear, knowledgeable advice to complete the lengthy, complicated LPA forms. We also updated Wills at the same appointment. These were all done in a very professional, friendly and understandable manner. Well worth the service.

ADVICE MEETING

5

It was so refreshing to meet a solicitor to advise and for me to totally understand all that was said. It was relaxed and so informative and helped so much in my decisions moving forward as executor to an estate. He went above all I asked and sent me links for information after our meeting. Thank you!

Family lawyers for over 50yrs, there care, empathy, and compassion has seen us all through so many bad times, including 2 divorces, and the deaths of my parents, I can honestly say I would not be where I am today without the dedication of this wonderful team, we owe them more than we can ever repay.
Thank you Nick for getting me through the worst times of my life.
