LPA & Will
A very professional service provided with due care and attention given to my elderly relative who was a bit nervous about the process. We were put at ease and dealt with in a sympathetic manner.

Updating my Will
I contacted my solicitor to discuss updating my will. I was very pleased with the interview and discussion. Alex then sorted out the amended details. The coronavirus lockdown was then put in place, Alex sent my new will by email. I managed to get it signed observing social distancing measures. Now all complete, thankfully.

Wollens is a first class firm to deal with. Extremely helpful and efficient. Every person I have dealt with in the company is first class including reception. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Satisfied customer
The solicitor appointed was pleasant, personable and responsive to queries by telephone, emailor visit. Solicitors never come cheaply but do bring convenience and the necessary skills and knowledge.. The charge was at the minimum of the range quoted.
I was sufficiently happy to ask this particular solicitor to draw up my own will.
There was a massive delay, no fault of the solicitor and the ombudsman was involved.. This does not appear to have affected costs. No complaints.
