Mary Skellam Herington solicitors

Mary has handled a variety of issues for me over the last couple of years. She has proved to be extremely knowledgeable, efficient, a good communicator and very pleasant to deal with. I would not hesitate in recommending.

Writing mirror wills and advice on setting up a Trust

We were recommended to Heringtons for advice about setting up a Trust for our daughter and writing a pair of Mirror Wills for my wife and myself. The advice was very helpful, and the Wills were completed professionally with the help of our solicitor.

I was fortunate to have been recommended Mary Skellam at Herington’s to deal with a complicated trust issue that two other firms of Solicitors were unable to finalise. From the beginning, Mary was kind, professional and efficient, she dealt with the issues at hand and the situation was completed in a timely fashion. . I’d have no hesitation in recommending Mary and her team. Thank you so much, Heringtons!
