Very happy with the service received in our Probate case handled by Rachael Wilkinson. She is hugely knowledgable in the complex law surrounding Probate and Estate administration and I'm sure a more competent person would be difficult to find. Always at the end of the telephone or email, prompt action to queries and always friendly & professional. Her ability to impart detailed legal information in layman's terms is also hugely appreciated. The wider team at Eaton Smith is also worth a positive mention. Great people work at this organisation.

Overall, very satisfied and I have no hesitation in recommending.
