    Excellent professional experience

    I have recently used Woodfines to make a Will, Power of Attorney and Deed of Variation. Service provided was excellent. Everything explained clearly and thoroughly and Rebecca was happy to explain and clarify anything I didn’t quite understand. The whole process was quick and efficient. I highly recommend Rebecca at Woodfines

    Redrafting Wills before getting married

    My partner of 20+ years and I are getting married and we have a a complex and rather 'dysfunctional' family and a very vulnerable family member with learning difficulties. Helen has been amazing working through the various options with great understanding and sensitivity to family dynamics and her explanations of all the unfathomable legal phrases to a lay person were crystal clear and made the whole process so much easier. We only arranged our wedding at short notice, and Helen managed to complete all this work so quickly and efficiently. Her great expertise and professionalism is really appreciated.

    A great process from start to finish

    Having remarried it was important for both my wife and I to get fresh wills, especially so that things were clear, particularly for my grown up son. These are not easy conversations as you have to consider lots of quite unpleasant scenarios and there is a lot of emotion involved, but Shireena was always supportive, never rushing us (it took several months on our side to think about the right approach) and providing impartial, sensible advice to get us to the right outcome. Thoroughly recommend Shireena and Woodfines - indeed am now using them for the sale of a property too!

      Conveyancing of my late mothers house.

      Tony and Donna were recommended to me by a friend and existing client of Woodfines to assist with the Conveyancing of my late mother’s house sale. They have been a pleasure to deal with, the process went very smoothly. I would certainly recommend their services and use Woodfines again in the future. Thank you

      Exceptional Support and Professional Service

      I cannot recommend Natasha Moore at Woodfines highly enough. She was professional, approachable and extremely supportive throughout the whole process of my settlement agreement. Natasha explained everything clearly, made sure I fully understood the agreement and its implications, and dealt with matters efficiently while still making me feel that I was being treated as an individual rather than simply another case. It was a stressful and significant time for me, and having someone knowledgeable, responsive and reassuring guiding me through it made a real difference. I felt completely confident in the advice I received. Excellent service from start to finish and I would have no hesitation in recommending Natasha and Woodfines.

      IMPORTANT. NOTICE Do not use . I have been waiting for land registry for nearly a year Woodfines quoted £1,200,when completed they took without asking £5,000 . Now they won't answer calls. Do not use . I have now found out that it it normal for Suzanna to do this. I have reported to law society but I understand this will take a bit of time. Paul Evans
