Writing of Wills

Having put off writing our wills for years, we decided to use the will writing service in conjunction with supporting St Michaels Hospice in Basingstoke - a hospice that we have personal experience with. It was much easier than we had anticipated and the help and advice we received was well explained and very clear. Wish we had done it sooner.

I would like to share my experience of will making with Lynn Annis from Davies Blunden and Evans,I found her to be professional, impartial, knowledgable and sensitive regarding advising me! I also found that she was very efficient in completing and finalising all the paperwork, I have had poor advice from other solicitors in Farnborough cove and also north camp, so I was very reassured to finally find a decent, honest solicitor, who seemed to have my best interests at heart!! thanks to Lynn Annis

After the passing of my dad last October we have been looked after by Sian Lias. Sian has been excellent & made the difficult job of probate so easy. I am so grateful that Sian was able to deal with everything so I didn't have to. I would definitely recommend Phillips Law. Thank you.

Ms. Fickling and Ms. Hawkett are always very helpful, friendly, and thorough. They are great to work with and promptly respond to any queries. They have been invaluable throughout the whole process over the last several years.

House purchase 1st time buyer

As a first time buyer I didn’t know what I was getting myself into however, I would personally recommend Lauren to anyone that is looking to purchase a house. I have just recently purchased my 1st home and used Lauren as our solicitor. Lauren took all the stress away us and was very thorough with the searches. I was able to contact and communicate with her regards to any updates regarding our property. Lauren’s responses were second to none I highly recommend Lauren as she was very professional from start to finish.

Redundancy

Following redundancy, the solicitor in question (Sarah) who handled the case under employment law was very knowledgeable and ensured all processes were being followed, as we negotiated terms. It was a very smooth process which made me feel confident that everything was fully under control until completion.

Contacted due to needed legal help with an issue, happy to invoice and take payment but had to be continually chased for any progress or additional information regarding my case. I started allowing them to contact me first, of which I had not heard from the company for over 2 years and now just had a call regarding my case, no apology when I explained that nothing had come of it even after several thousand pounds spent with them and no contact for over 2 years, would not advise using again

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the concerns you have raised. We have reviewed our records and have been unable to identify a client or matter matching the details provided.

Terrible rude women. Gaslighting my mother by saying your secretary could never be rude because you’ve known her 15 years is disgusting and a joke. I was listening to her be rude, talk over her and have no compassion for it being probate and she’s just lost her mother - she was so abhorrent I almost took the phone from my mum to tell her to stop speaking to her like it . You’re terrible people and behaviour is like bullies at school - I hope you take a look at yourself and find some basic human decency.

This is our second time using Davies Blunden and Evans in Farnborough. Jo and Deglan were, again, incredibly helpful throughout the process. Moving is always stressful and we definitely had our fair share of complications, but we both felt very grateful to have Jo and Deglan chasing enquiries and keeping us updated. Thank you both for all your help.
