First class service

I'm an Independent Financial Adviser and have worked with Gill for a number of years. Her advice is always clear, honest and practical, and she never overcomplicates things. She has advised many of my clients on Wills, Powers of Attorney and Trusts over the years, and the feedback has consistently been excellent. I trust her implicitly and greatly appreciate the professional and personable way she deals with clients.

Probate assistance

We had 2 family members die within 3 weeks who were father and son and stepfather to my wife. This was a very difficult situation with no will of her younger brother and a dependant partner with no safeguard for her future. Without the help of Gill Tobin at Dovaston Law sorting out these problems would have been beyond our capabilities and we were very grateful for the excellent service and information given to us, We have no problem in recommending this firm to others and will use again when required,
