Outstanding!

Debra and her team came highly recommended when it came to arranging my mother’s Will, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. Communication was excellent from the very beginning and remained so throughout the entire process. Debra and her team were extremely professional while also showing genuine warmth, patience and understanding, guiding us clearly through every step. Debra was also very accommodating and happy to visit our family home for meetings, which we greatly appreciated. Her knowledge and expertise gave us complete confidence and made what could have been a daunting process feel straightforward and reassuring. I would have no hesitation in recommending Debra and her team to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable and compassionate assistance with arranging a Will. An excellent service from start to finish – highly recommended.

Excellent service, timely & efficient

Debra guided us through the probate service with sensitivity and confidence and our overall experience was extremely positive, I was a little concerned when my sister identified MDW as her chosen solicitor to handle our fathers estate simply because it was a small business with a quiet footprint, however the entire service has been excellent efficiency and timely . Debra also recommended conveyancing solicitors and accountants who she worked hand in glove with and they provided a extremely good service also, so all in all a fantastic firm and I would recommend to anyone going forward many thanks for your help

Excellent Service

Our whole experience with MDW Solicitors has been excellent. They listened and focused on our needs. They ensured we understood all the legal jargon.Their communication was very clear.They informed us every step of the way of how things were progressing. The documents we received were accurate and well written. They were very clear and upfront about the estimated fees and costs, so we knew where we stood throughout the process. We wouldn’t hesitate in using MDW Solicitors again. If you’re in need of a solicitor MDW Solicitors should be your first call. Thank you to Debra and her team.

Many thanks for all your advice and help

Debra was extremely helpful and put my mum at ease instantly. She was able to explain some IHT complexities in simple, understandable terms and why some options wouldn't work/ be in mum's best interest.

The service provided was comprehensive and clear, at rates which were very reasonable. We would have no hesitation in recommending MDW to others. As a small firm they were better positioned to understand our individual and specific requirements in a very personal manner.
