Disgusted Dissatisfaction with Heringtons Solicitors Bexhill

Sarah Clifton has taken 3 and half years to totally mis-manage dealing with my late husband's Will. As all that had to be done was sell a few shares, there was no need to go to probate. Furthermore, She totally overlooked the one bequest let alone offer me help to abide by my husband's wishes. This has all added to my burden of grief.

Excellent service

I had used Heringtons before for conveyancing matters, and received a brilliant service each time! So my husband and I visited them this time to draw up our wills and were not disappointed- great service yet again!

Over the last few years, Sarah Clifton has helped my family with several important matters, from handling my father's will and my mother’s Lasting Power of Attorney to securing Letters of Administration. She also recently drafted wills and Powers of Attorney for my husband and me. Sarah is always incredibly patient, efficient, and knowledgeable. Writing a will is an emotional and complicated process, but Sarah made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to explain every choice and answered our many questions with great care. I would highly recommend!

How to choose a solicitor? Reading reviews is worthwhile and I can confirm what many said before me that Heringtons, particularly Sarah and her colleagues, provide a pleasant, helpful, courteous and thoroughly professional service.
