I approached Frettens to update my will and set up powers of attorney for both health, welfare and financial affairs.

I found their advice concise, accurate and easy to understand. The work was carried out as quickly as possible and I was kept fully informed.

All in all a very good service that I'd be happy to recommend.

Excellent service from James to rectify a situation to obtain a £10000 deposit refund from a solar panel company. He kept me informed at all times and kept within the costs discussed.
