    Sale of Property

    In the capacity of Executor, I was having to sell my brother's King's Lynn home following his passing. These circumstances are never the best and this was made more difficult as I live almost 300 miles away. I was therefore very appreciative of Natasha at WGA dealing with the sale in a calm, professional manner, keeping me up to-date at the key points and concluding the sale without any issues.

    Recommend Jack Bristow and thank him for what he did for our family.

    Jack Bristow was really professional and gave my family and myself great help,support and advice in dealing with the Will of my late step father. Although the excutor of the will failed to comply with her duties and totally ignored any letters that were sent to her in the last 12 months, there was nothing really more Jack could do without taking her to court to have her removed as Excutor which would not be cost affective. As Jack did such a great job when he worked at Calthrops Solicitors in Spalding we only wanted Jack to carry on supporting us when he qualified as a Solicitor and moved to Ely to work for Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors. I therefore would recommend Jack Bristow to help any friends and family I have, in regards to any litigation matters. With Kind Regards David Ilett

      Charlotte has been extremely supportive during the process of selling my home of many years and purchasing my new dwelling. She has “held my hand”, expertly leading me through my fears and lack of knowledge with positivity and reassurance. If ever I decided to undertake another similar journey, which I doubt, I would want Charlotte by my side.

      Geraldine represented me through a very difficult and lengthy family court process. At each stage I was provided with prompt and comprehensive advice over strategy as well as good process. Geraldine worked closely with my barrister, whom she also sourced for me, and through this partnership I felt very well prepared and represented. The case concluded in my favour, and I have no doubt that Geraldine’s advice and experience were a significant factor in this. Her professionalism and empathy were invaluable to me through a very stressful period and I am extremely grateful.
