At a very emotional and upsetting time David, at Birkett Long, was sensitive and understanding. He explained how probate worked and what our next steps were. His communication was timely and he 'held our hand' throughout, what could have been, a distressing process. We are very grateful.

We were very pleased with the way in which David helped us at a difficult time when there seemed to be no end of paperwork to get through. David was always calm, friendly and efficient - coming back to us promptly with answers to any questions which we had. Many thanks.

Professionalism and efficiency...
I have had the need to deal with Mr. David Feakins on several occasions regarding my late mother's affairs both before and after her passing. I have always found him to be polite, kind and compassionate alongside being professional. He made what could have been a daunting time, accessible and achievable with sound impartial advice. With sincere thanks and very best wishes for your future career. Ruth S.

I have dealt with Mr Feakins on two occasions and I have always felt like I was his only client. I have never been dis-satisfied with the service.
On the two occasions I have dealt with David Feakins, I have been afforded the very best in advice and service and good manners and I felt like I was the only client he had. A very rare quality in this day of age. My daughter also is a client of the practice. Keep up the good work. Thank you, I feel settled in myself now my business has been sorted and put away until needed.
