Excellent professional support with Will preparation

"My Wife and I have been considering having our Wills prepared and met Melissa Hughes at BLJ towards the end of April. Dealing with this really important matter is never straightforward and we were naturally anxious. There was no need, however, as Melissa was very professional,"

To improve, my suggestion is that paralegals should be more personable and less robotic.

Callum James's experience...

Communication was extremely poor. Was told multiple times it was 48 hours response time yet I had many occasions it took over a week and had to get our mortgage advisor to chase it up for us. Added a lot of stress to an already stressful situation.

Mistake after mistake No deed of trust completed No bank info completed on the completion statement Ellie is un contactable and at times rude as if I’m wasting my time when it’s her who’s making the mistakes David picked the case up and credit to him got it moving Double counted the mortgage cash back which means I’m now out of pocket for 250 Poor customer service and attention to detail

When I was in the Runcorn custody suite and first saw duty solicitor David I immediately felt like someone was on my side. Pre interview, he was amazing and extinguished my anxiety about the whole process. He was clear, concise and professional. Thankfully I was released on bail soon after the interview and a no further action to the offences was given a week later by the police. I recommend this firm and of course David who is semi retired but you cannot put a price on experience. Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that David was able to provide clear, reassuring, and professional support during a stressful time, helping to ease your anxiety throughout the process.
