First Class Service

The service was first class. We approached three local firms to assist with the grant of probate. They all offered an initial free consultation but the other two firms were on zoom/teams. The hour we spent with Sara Shires was excellent – clear and comprehensive advice and reassuring to meet in person the legal expert who will be dealing with/supervising the assignment.

The Service I Received Was Excellent

I am of poor heath, about to undergo major surgery. Time was of the essence. Three/four hours later following my initial consultation with Charlotte Cordell, Adam brought a draft copy of my new Will to my home for me to approve. Excellent service.

These guys have been super helpful verifying docs for me for various purposes over the last few years. I've not used them for anything else so it's great they provide this ad hoc very reasonably priced service. Very friendly and available. Really appreciate it
