Superb service

I recently required the services of a solicitor. Having dealt with W and AS Bruce before with house purchases, I had no hesitation in contacting them for assistance. The entire process was seamless and I was fully appraised of what was happening throughout the process. They made what could have been a difficult situation, very straightforward for myself and my now ex-wife.
Helen Gibb and Selina Mackay are an absolute credit to the firm and I would have no hesitation in seeking their help again.

Great service...!

My elderly parents wanted their Family Trust moved to a firm closer to home and Anna Hills was happy to do the work. She also reviewed the Trust, as well as making changes to their wills that my parents had requested. From our initial meeting with Anna, she inspired confidence and professionalism, which combined with her friendly manner, made for an all-round positive experience.
Everything was completed in good time and I found the cost for all the work to be very reasonable.
My wife and I are thinking about setting up a Family Trust and updating our wills in the near future. It will definitely be Anna we'll be contacting to do the work.

We want to say a massive thank you to Gillian Dyer for helping us buy our home. Super friendly, easy to reach and just amazing at her job. Buying a house is stressful time, so having a paralegal who really was working behind the scenes and had the sale complete in 6 weeks was a god send.

Gillian at WAS Bruce has been a true gem since I started dealing with her over 5 years ago. Her attention to detail and her willingness to answer even the smallest/silliest question from a non lawyer like myself makes the situation when buying and selling a house so much less stressful.

We recently bought our dream house in the summer and we wouldn’t have been able to secure it without Gillian’s expertise and friendly and attentive nature. She is everything you could ask for from your lawyer.

Recently decided to make a will and dealt with Robyn MacNeil. She provided me with all the information and details required to make the process quick and easy to understand.

Very happy with the service provided.
