Highest stands of professional service

This is the third time I have taken advantage of Wolferstans Solicitors. Whilst the fees appear to be on the high side, I have always found the service provided is of the highest standard of professional service. I would most certainly use their services again if I had a need to.

Making joint Wills at Wolferstans

5

From our initial meeting with Emma Banner, we felt that she was approachable, extremely knowledgable and explained complex issues in a clear, concise yet thorough way. We felt free to ask any questions which she answered comprehensively. She also pre-empted the issues that we hadn't even considered yet and gave us wise and concrete advice, always explaining the options open to us. We were both very impressed with the whole experience, from making the initial appointment to the Will making itself. It was stress free, expeditious and we felt "in safe hands".

We recently used Wolferstans Solicitors to help us write our wills and to organise out Lasting Power of Attorney. Emma Banner and her team were so helpful in guiding us through the whole process in terms that we could understand. Everything was done very promptly as had been promised. Overall, we could only say that the service was excellent, no complaints whatsoever. Thanks Emma for all of your help.
