Professional and fast-paced
I reached out to J&P after looking for local law firms in the Bromley area who could help me create a will, and was very satisfied with their services. They were professional and fast-paced throughout my interactions with them, and answered all of my queries. I would recommend them very highly.

Nimalee Bastian-Carter updated our Wills, which were not straightforward, and prepared LPAs to replace our EPAs. We found her to be an experienced specialist in Wills and related issues, especially with post-qualification courses – and, particularly, asked appropriate, empathetic, questions towards solutions. She answered queries, including by email, convincingly, constructively, and promptly – and with a pleasant style throughout. The whole process for the Wills, from initial meeting, receiving and reviewing drafts, to receiving the completed wills, took less than 4 weeks.

Efficient and empathetic service
I was introduced to Nimalee a few days after the shock of my brother-in-law's sudden death. Her calm, empathetic manner meant we were able to get down to business comfortably and efficiently. She made it clear what had to be done and how she and her team would set about it. True to her word the process was carried out professionally and I had complete confidence in the actions taken. Any questions I raised were answered promptly and professionally, but with a personal warmth that made communication easy. I would not hesitate in recommending Nimalee to guide you through what is, for most of us, a difficult time.

Judge & Priestley LLP
We worked with Nimalee for 18 months on our Dad's estate. Along with her team, she provided a highly professional, customer oriented service. Regular updates were provided throughout the process, along with timely responses to any questions raised. Given the challenging times over the last year the proactive approach in following-up with third parties to minimise delays was particularly appreciated. Overall we couldn't fault the service offered and would certainly recommend.

Great service
Nimalee and her team handled my aunt's estate very quickly and professionally but also very considerate, friendly and supportive. From the very first phone call communication was easy and dropping off documents at the office no problem despite the virus. Definitely recommend.

Will of Mr Brian Alfred Rendle
Nimalee Bastian-Carter was the solicitor on point for this. It was a complex will and needed additional effort.

Probate service - Excellent
The probate service received from Nimalee Bastian-Carter at Judge and Priestley has been excellent from start to finish. She is a very professional solicitor who is also polite and kind thus making this difficult process much easier to deal with for all the Executors/family. Any questions we had were always addressed to our satisfaction and on a timely basis. Judge and Priestley, from my experience, have well established procedures and excellent staff to provide a smooth probate service. This goes all the way through from Partners to the Paralegal and administrative staff assisting Nimalee that we dealt with. A big thank you.
