Property and Private Client

5

Both Phil Salt (property) and Richard Wadsworth (private client) have not only been incredibly helpful, but they are also extremely knowledgeable. Providing sound advice, which has been easy to understand and follow, in a friendly, approachable and swift manner. Thank you.

Susan Davies (Notary) was also extremely friendly and knowledgeable and was able to fit in an appointment at very short notice to notarise some documents. Very efficient service, thank you.

Working closely with Rebecca Hatton and Richard Wadsworth as a local Funeral director, I have to say I feel care and thought really goes into looking after their clients.
The team at Scott Bailey really do go the extra mile.
I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their caring services.

Both my husband and I have used the services of Scott Bailey Solicitors over more than a decade.
We have been happy with all the Solicitors and assistants that we have dealt with.
Recently we have asked Richard Wadsworth to review and update our Wills (which he had written previously).
We initially consulted him several years ago and have always been happy with his extensive legal advice and we find him very approachable.
He and him team always work hard, are efficient dealing with queries and provide answers as soon as they can.
We know that the advice we get from Richard we can trust, and that is very important to us.
We will continue to consult him on any legal matters in the future and can fully recommend him and Scott Bailey Solicitors as a whole.

I visited Scott Bailey to obtain an LPA for myself and my daughter and the experience was very positive. We received concise information that was easy to understand and the details were explained in a straightforward and caring manner.
Richard Wandsworth took a lot of care and time to explain everything, especially to my daughter. This was very much appreciated.
I would highly recommend Scott Bailey
