We are really sorry you feel disappointed with the service that you received. Unfortunately we did have an issue when you first supplied us with the information in relation to our matter. However once this had become apparent your file was taken over by the main partner and your application was swiftly sent to the probate office. Unfortunately once an application is submitted we are not allowed to ask for updates from them for 16 weeks and so we were not able to provide you with any updates. Again, I am sorry that you were not happy with the service you were provided with.

Excellent friendly service
Through the charity free wills scheme Clowes prepared wills for my wife and myself. This proved to be absolutely painless in all respects plus excellent, friendly and efficient from Ms Clowes herself and support staff. Highly recommended.
