Very pleasant

Catherine helped me to think through a complex family situation, and everything provided to create my Will was very clear and timely. I was very naive to the process beforehand and was helped to understand everything and was enabled to weigh up the best way forward. I also really enjoyed working with her and our online meetings were very pleasant. I also appreciated dealing with the same person throughout, rather than being handed off to other staff members which has often been the case with other professional services firms.
