James MacWhirter

Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I qualified as a solicitor in 1999 having graduated from Bristol University and have worked within a legal environment for 22 years. I now specialise in private client law, and have done for the past 6 years, having spent the preceding years as a criminal defence advocate. I help private individuals, trustees, executors and business owners. Clients have a wide range of aims and priorities and I pride myself on being able to prioritise their concerns and objectives quickly in an approachable and down-to-earth manner. It is important to me that my clients feel at ease discussing what can be emotive and sensitive issues. I work hard to ensure that I tailor my advice to those individual concerns and objectives.

I should like to thank all members of your staff at your Heacham practice but especially James MacWhirter. I have been a client of yours before and as always James has always been very professional, having all the answers to any queries and putting my mind at rest. Nothing is too much trouble and the atmosphere in the office is always warm and friendly. Thank you James.
