Having dealt with Whiting and Mason for neary 40 years, the above task was executed to my high expectation - similar to what I've experienced over many years. Many Thanks

As always Jo’s advice to me was clear and to the point. She is a good listener and is extremely knowledgeable and I always feel reassured and confident in making decisions after speaking with her.

Wouldn't go anywhere else

My wife and I have used Whiting & Mason for many years, for conveyancing, Wills and Powers of Attorney. The Wills and Powers of Attorney have invariably been drawn up by Miss Potts, whom we have always found most helpful not only in adopting the most appropriate approach but also in explaining in 'words of one syllable' the implications.

Truly Exceptional Service and Professionalism from Pally Davies, Jaclyn Reed and Jo Potts I genuinely cannot offer enough praise for Whiting and Mason solicitors having just concluded a very torturous sale of my mother's retirement apartment. Pally led the conveyancing and is without doubt the hardest working and most professional, solicitor I have ever worked with while also being highly personable, organised and pragmatic. Regularly working long hours at crucial points in the sale and taking time sometimes well into the evening to call and update me. I have bought and sold property more than a dozen times and this service has been phenomenal. Thank you Pally! Thoroughly recommended

We would like to thank Jo Potts and her team for all of their support throughout a very difficult time for our family whilst trying to deal with the complicated Estate of our late father. It has been reassuring knowing that we had informative and honest, straight to the point, views representing us. We have been so impressed by your firm's responses to the sometimes outrageous accusations and requests that came our way via the other party solicitor. At every point we felt that the firm advocated for us in a sensitive and professional way and we felt that this helped in coming to an amenable agreement over the Estate and avoided potential costs of court. Jo's advice was always sensible and took into account that we needed to minimise costs. So thank you, for everything. You've made a horrible journey so much smoother. We are so glad we chose you to represent us and would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone else, especially anyone dealing with the administration of an Estate.
