Excellent service

The service we received was excellent. Joanna listened and explained legal issues with warmth and interest for our particular needs. Everything about the service was so good, every communication prompt and helpful. We had actually approached another local solicitor’s practice before finding JWP and found the interview to be a bit confusing and ‘standard’ rather than personal, we almost gave up trying to make the changes we wanted. We highly recommend Joanna and the practice.

Excellent Service

I recently went to JWP regarding a complex matter regarding wills and probate. I was lucky enough to be assigned a complimentary call with Joanna Longfellow. Within minutes I felt at ease with her warm and friendly manner but was really impressed with her ability to explain complex legal procedures in a clear and easy to understand way. Joanna showed a rare almost unique quality of being willing to pass on specialist advice before I actually became a client of JWP. She put my needs for information before JWP’s need to make money. That I find is all too rare in the legal profession and indeed the wider business world. Finally it comes as no surprise that every other review gives her the absolute maximum rating, obviously her other clients all feel the same way.

Will Review

We recently asked Joanna Longfellow at JWP Solicitors in Wakefield to review our existing Wills and Powers of Attorney. Joanna provided clear, thoughtful, and meaningful feedback that prompted us to update our Wills in line with her recommendations and our wishes. She is a knowledgeable and professional solicitor with an excellent manner — approachable, patient, and reassuring throughout. The whole experience was pleasant and efficient, and we would happily recommend Joanna and JWP Solicitors to anyone seeking expert advice on estate planning and related matters.

Will

Joanna was so professional and knowledgeable but at the same time made us feel so relaxed. Making a will is not easy but Joanna made us feel at ease. It was a pleasure to deal with her. Joanna is a credit to her law firm and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

Professional Advice

Having previously worked with Joanna at JWP and being very happy with the service/advice received, I chose them again to speak with regarding another matter. Once again I was totally satisfied with the Prompt, Clear and Professional advice I received. All Good, Thank You.
