    Will preparation.

    I am very grateful for the advice and help from the Solicitor in preparing my Will. He came to my house which meant I was more relaxed than going to an office, He explained the various necessities when making a will and why it was important to have a will outlining my wishes both before and after my death.

    from Thorntons Law Llp

    We are pleased to hear that you felt comfortable and well supported throughout the process, Moira. It is important to us that clients receive clear advice and understand the decisions involved, and we are glad this approach gave you confidence in putting your wishes in place. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    POA

    Excellent and quick service from first contact. Fixed fee payment makes budgetting simple. I was taken through the options for my POA and the implications of each before a draft document was made available.

    from Thorntons Law Llp

    Thank you for your feedback, Kenneth. It’s particularly pleasing to know that the options and implications were clearly explained before preparing the draft, and that the fixed fee provided certainty when budgeting. We truly appreciate your kind words.

    Been working with Alan to figure out what was needed vs what was available in Scottish law to sort out an inheritance and property issue in the UAE. Everything has been perfect, communication, efficiency and going beyond to help. Definitely recommend Macnabs.

    We have been clients of Macnabs for many years, whether it be buying/selling homes, preparing Wills etc..... all members of staff have always been very professional and efficient in their work.... I would recommend Alan Roughead who has been working for us recently, he has taken time to give us the best advice.....they're fees are respectfully competitive.

      I had the displeasure of dealing with Karen Stevenson today. She continually interrupted me and spoke over the top of me. When I asked her companies complaint procedure she became more abrasive and said she had no idea what it was. Poor service from a reputable firm.

Thornton's should be your 'go-to' place for legal work in Scotland. Thank you Graham and your team.

      Very disappointed. Initially the contact was positive. A call back from a solicitor on the friday which resulted in the promise of an email being sent on Monday and a call back. No email sent and no call back. Its embarrassing as I prepped the other party to expect the email. Still no call back or response to an email asking for an update. There is no reasonable excuse for this.

      Hi there, we’re sorry to hear you’ve been unhappy with your experience with us. We’d really like the opportunity to understand what has happened and look into your concerns properly. We’re not able to discuss individual matters publicly, but if you’re happy to contact us directly at enquiries@thorntons-law.co.uk with your details, we can make sure this is passed to the right team to review.
