Rowberry Morris Thames Valley LLP

Mother's will, disputed probate with executor
The client engaged Rowberry Morris to resolve a disputed probate where her sister was in breach of her duties as executor of her late mother's estate. Rather than divide the estate by three (there are three sisters) she awarded a disproportionate amount of money to her husband (who was not mentioned in the will). She had a skillful history of obtaining money from family members and used every trick in her book to avoid payment. Sarah was kind, persistent, yet firm in guiding the executor to a position where she willingly compensated the client and the other sister. Since the client lives in the USA, communication was effected via emails and Zoom meetings. Sarah optimized her client's time and cost by guiding the sisters to an equitable solution. Sarah is understanding and objective, which are important skills in testing situations.

Excellent help on redundancy matters
Having never needed legal advice before for employment matters, we were delighted to be advised by Sarah. Our questions were all answered clearly in terms we could easily understand and the guidance received promptly allowed us to move forward easily and to have the confidence to take on an unfair USA company.

Professional and speedy service
Finding myself being made redundant and having a 10 day turnaround to see legal representation and get all paperwork returned. Sarah made this transition so efficient and easy for me, so it was one less thing to stress about. Great personel skills, if someone was unfortunate enough to be in a similar position, I would definately recommend Sarah.

Recommendation for Sarah Filsell
I engaged Sarah Filsell at Rowberry Morris Thames Valley LLP for a work legal issue, and I can highly recommend her. She is friendly, knowledgably, and helpful. Sarah made sure to communicate what to expect during the process and kept me informed during each step. Her communication was faultless, and any queries I had were promptly dealt with. She made sure I knew every option available to me and explained them in detail. It gave me real peace of mind to have her guide me through what could have been a stressful situation.

Sarah dealt with a sensitive issue efficiently, professionally and with great sensitivity. She explained fully about costs involved and kept me up to date regularly with any updates. Friendly but measured, the perfect combination for communication. All legal elements were explained without rush, making me feel in control. Very happy with the outcome and would recommend without hesitation.
