Excellent service

We had a very positive experience with LWR both over the telephone and in person. The reception staff were welcoming and efficient. Nicole put us at ease immediately due to her kind and thoughtful manner. We were able to explain what we wanted and she gave us clear advice on how to achieve this. She is both knowledgeable and professional with a lovely way of engaging with people. This, coupled with a prompt timescale made for a first class service. We would not hesitate to recommend LWR.

Updating of my Will

1st class service from initial booking of appointment to completion. My solicitor was empathetic and professional and broke down complex "legal jargon" into plain understandable English. She handled my case in an unhurried & friendly calm manner.

Probate & House Sale

From the beginning Nicole and Sam were always there to advise me, hold my hand, and help me navigate the foreign legalities of the UK. In addition, everyone I had contact with in the office was unfailingly kind and helpful. When I have the good fortune of returning to Sunderland, I will definitely seek you out. It goes without saying that I would recommend your Firm without hesitation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
