Claire was a pleasure to deal with, approachable, caring and knowledgeable when renewing and revising our wills, LPA and family trust. I would recommend Claire to other clients for private client work.

Difficult time made easier

3

This was the first time my mother and myself had to deal with a last will and testament. After a loved one passes it can be a very difficult time and you have so much to deal with it can be overwhelming which is why it was nice to have a solicitor who was aware of this and guided us through sensitively and was understanding.
