I wished to update my existing will and Brachers were so professional in every respect, making my decision easier to put my wills into a formal document. Emma Hegarty and her assistant Chloe were friendly and I enjoyed meeting them - felt like we connected well.

Working with legal eagles !

There was an early occasion when I wondered if we were going to communicate well, but we seemed to get over that. Largely, we have worked well together, with "our team" at Brachers helping me and my children understand where we stand regarding the current and potential situations. I was pleased to see that Brachers staff (mostly) were quick to understand my sense of humour and were happy to help me when I struggled with some legal term. I'm sure we will have questions in the future and I hope that Brachers will be happy to answer them.

Emma Hegarty was brilliant from start to finish . Emma's knowledge and the sound advice she gave helped us through a very difficult time . It felt at times that Emma actually knew Dad because her understanding and empathetic nature really was first class. There were some difficult times with the distribution of the estate but Emma level thinking and advice kept us steady and and all was well in the . We literally could not have done this without Emma. Simply outstanding. Thank you
