A breath of fresh air

After dreading any interaction with a law firm after the passing of my Mum, I was blown over with the super friendly and extremely professional contact I have had with Scullion LAW - namely Jennifer Thayre and Ailidh Ballantyne. It is a comfort to know that the team will look after me and my Mum's estate with respect and diligence. Highly recommended!

Exceptional

Ailidh has been nothing but extremely helpful and patient in what has been a challenging situation with my mum’s estate. Her calm and focused approach when other family members have tried to make things difficult has been greatly appreciated. She has certainly taken a huge weight off my shoulders and continues to be a first class lawyer.

Easy process

Ailidh prepared Wills for me and my wife. I asked a lot of questions but Ailidh answered all of these quickly and simply in a way I could easily understand. She was very patient with us and I now feel so much better knowing we have our Wills done.

Had very good initial meeting with Ailidh at a very difficult time, she put me at ease and explained how things are going to proceed in layman's terms easy for me to understand. Also very reassuring to know that I can contact her at any point should I require to.

First telephone contact with Ailidh Ballantyne following a bereavement and subsequent discussion on obtaining confirmation with regards to my Mothers estate. Call received as agreed and Ailidh was both professional and compassionate, guided me through what would be the probable steps in the process and what to expect to be sent on to me by email. At this the most difficult of times I felt under no pressure and reassured how things would progress.

Very helpful, knowledgeable and professional company, you provided great assurance and comfort that they could deal with our matters of dealing with the estate of my partner who had passed away recently. Ailidh Ballantyne was very well mannered, understanding, polite and professional on the initial phone call and clearly told myself exactly what the next steps were in order to move forward and get the outcome we wanted. Would have no problems recommending them to anyone based on my experience so far with them.
