Friendly service

Kate made the whole process from start to finish easy for us. She explained face to face what I needed to do along with the time line of how it all works. Being registered disabled, having a home visit was really useful and made things so much easier, also being able to easily contact and ask questions was helpful.

Fantastic service and expertise from Kate Rutherford

Kate was recommended to us by our Financial Adviser and we are extremely pleased to be working with Kate as our family solicitor. We have now updated our Wills and LPA's, and found Kate's expertise impeccable throughout the process. We especially appreciated Kate's highly personal and understanding approach, as we were having to make complex decisions about the setting up of our estate. And we were also especially impressed by Kate's availability and responsiveness, which helped us navigate a complex process in a short amount of time. We have already recommended Kate to several people in our network (personal and professional) and will continue to do so at every opportunity. Thank you Kate for your excellent levels of expertise, guidance and personal approach in working with us so far, it is greatly appreciated!

Kate did a great job.

Kate did exactly what she said she would do, but did it quicker and cheaper than I expected. She was very professional and friendly.

An excellent experience

Kate helped me and my partner prepare our wills. Both of us were hugely impressed by her expertise and attention to detail. She was always prompt with responses to questions, guiding us carefully through the process with clear explanations as needed. Beyond that, Kate was personable and understanding. She listened and addressed any concerns that we had, offering advice with warmth and empathy. We are absolutely satisfied, and delighted with our decision to engage this company.

Excellent service

Kate was extremely helpful dealing with my late mother's estate. As the executor of the estate I needed to change a number of things, Kate guided me through the process and dealt with all my questions very quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate Rutherford.
