Impressive Service
We were looking to make a couples will & reached out to a few firms. While the pricing across firms was more or less similar, we were really impressed by the service we received from Best Solicitors. I want to call out the exceptional service we received from Ellie Whitehead, right from the first interaction. She was patient, took time to understand our needs & explained our options. Once we had a discussion, we took time to think through the advise & discuss with our financial consultant/ accountant. Ellie was very patient and gave us the space to do what we needed to do before going back to her with the final confirmation. Once we confirmed, the rest of the process felt seamless, with Ellie taking time to share the draft document & follow up responses to questions we had. While Ellie had moved over to their new office, she took the time/accountability of relationship to personally come & help complete the documentation. She explained the specifics one last time before we signed the document & gave it to Best Solicitors to store on our behalf. Ellie is a credit to your organisation. Best Solicitors have earned a customer for life. I highly recommend your firm & you will definitely see a few referrals from friends/family.

Will Writing
We found Best Solicitors via the Free Wills Month scheme and had really good service. Everything was very clearly explained and they were patient and didn't mind going over things when we had questions. Correspondence was prompt, appointments were on time and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Thank you
I must admit to feeling somewhat daunted about making my will however Ellie put me totally at ease and it really wasn't as difficult as I'd envisaged.
Friendly, good communication and adaptable to the changes I wished to make.
This was enabled through free will month. Great that the firm committed to this.
Thank you.

Making our wills
Everything we needed to know was fully explained in normal ‘English” and not legal jargon. Extra bits added to the wills that we didn’t know about. Appointments easy to make and at times that were good for us. We were kept updated along the way

Wills
My partner and myself had mirror wills drawn up through Willaid.
The service provided through Best Solicitors was professional ,efficient and friendly.
The wills were drawn up within a couple of weeks and sent out to us for signing. The whole process was very smooth.
