Working Your Way Through the Legal Jungle

I went to a legal workshop to talk about 'Power of Attorney, Lasting' with Edward Lee from Wollens. His explanation was straightforward and it therefore encouraged my husband and I to ask Wollens to prepare the Lasting Power of Attorneys and take the legal headaches away from us and making sure we had those done as soon as possible.

My Will

I had delayed formalising my will for such a long time, based on my belief that the process must be complicated and painful. Karen Miller guided me through the journey, explaining everything in detail and in a manner that was understandable. Once we had established my requirements, she prepared a draft document for me to review. I instantly felt relieved to have completed it, knowing that plans were in place should my family ever need to act on them. Karen was excellent in helping me achieve this.

Wollens solicitors are first class. This past year, we have used, their probate, conveyancing and will teams. I could not fault their service. Professional at all times, in what was a difficult time for my husband and myself. I would not hesitate in recommending Wollens. Everything we asked for, they delivered.

We used Woollens to advise us on drafting wills that required trusts and we could not have been more delighted. Christopher Linton, the partner specialising in wills, spent a really long time at our initial meeting explaining everything to us, all at no cost and that in itself, helped us to make the decision!

Great service from Dave, Asia and Liz

A huge thank you to Dave, Asia and Liz for all their help with our purchase. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and highly responsive, always providing clear, sensible advice and keeping us regularly updated throughout the process. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated being kept informed at every stage and having the next steps clearly explained to us. Their excellent communication and guidance made what we thought may have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and easy to navigate. We felt supported from beginning to end. We would not hesitate to recommend Dave, Asia and Liz, as well as Wollens generally, to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and approachable conveyancing team.

All my legal affairs are held and conducted through Wollens and I cannot speak highly enough of them. They are consummate professionals, ultra efficient and respond to queries by return, whenever humanly possible. I have not had a single disappointing moment throughout all my dealings with them.

Emma Reed has been fantastic in supporting our company that has been in business for 100 years to secure our future in the renewal of a 20 year lease. It was important to not only secure the lease but demonstrate our commitment to the property which Emma pitched exactly correct ensuring both parties came out with the best deal and partnership possible. This is the first time I have used her services and would not hesitate to use the again.

Let me say after taking out legal action against my former employer I contacted woollens to represent me in my legal battle. I was guided towards Jon Dunkley who is woollens specialist employment solicitor. Jon started proceedings against my employer and guided me through the process and kept me in the loop at all times. My case was taken to employment tribunal to which I won due Jon’s hard work. I can’t thank him and woollens enough and as they have solicitors for all legal requirements I know we’re I will be going if am unfortunate enough to need representation going forward. Thanks again Jon.
