FIRST CLASS WILL WRITING SERVICE FROM RICHARD REED

5

I approached Richard Reed as my husband and I were wanting to have our Wills reviewed. We were contacted by Jonathan Cockayne who provided an excellent service.

From the beginning he kept in touch with us and explained the whole process very clearly. We were impressed with the fact that he dealt with us personally. He responded very quickly to our queries and was very knowledgeable about our situation. I would definitely recommend him and the firm.

I cannot speak highly enough about the service we received.

Mr Cockayne was a great help, friendly and very professional. We though making a will would be a lot more complicated but with excellent guidance turned out to be easy, would recommend.

We recently used the services of Richard Reed Solicitors to help us write a new will and to avail ourselves of their expertise in the creation of Lasting Power of Attorney. We found to our delight that the experience was one of reassurance and complete confidence in the execution of this task.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to them and in particular Mr. Jonny Cockayne for his pleasant manner and swift conclusion to these matters.
We would have no hesitation recommending Richard Reed to anyone seeking legal assistance.
