Good as ever

Use Foort Tayler for a variety of my legal matters and always find them first-class. Recently changing my will, my case was taken over from my normal contact in such testamentary matters ( she was on maternity leave ) by Claire Buttress. I am delighted to say that, what can be a complicated business was handled in a totally professional and caring way by Claire. My will is not a straightforward matter and throughout she was on the ball with my requests and wishes and produced exactly what I wanted in a kind and sympathetic manner. I have no hesitation in totally recommending Claire and if our paths cross again - highly likely as life moves in mysterious ways - I look forward to the same understanding and humour of this last matter. Thank you Claire and Foorte Tayler.
