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.

Excellent support from Nicole

My wife and I first met Nicole to update our wills. Sadly this was overtaken by my wife’s sudden death. Nicole’s subsequent care and support have been and are exemplary .

Last Will and Testament

We were dealt with by Nicole Barrs. From our first meeting we were put at ease and felt fully at ease throughout. Mrs Barrs was very patient with us and explained everything sincerely. Mrs Barrs was friendly and totally professional. Mrs Barrs was a pleasure to deal with and we would be more than happy to consult her in the future.

From the first telephone conversation with the receptionist through to all employees, I was treated with respect and given full confidence that my situation would be treated with total professionalism. Nicole Barrs put me completely at ease and gave me confidence to ask any questions, however trivial, at all stages.
