The Gravesend branch have been handling my case since April last year, they are without a doubt the most caring legal firm dealing with care proceedings brought about by a local authority

I would recommend any parent to make use of there services, they are understanding, caring and above all humane.

Excellent Service

I would definitely recommend this company to other people as I received a first class service!
It was easy to speak to somebody in the first place and Andrew was able to deal with my problems quickly and efficiently, even within a short last-minute deadline. He gave sensible advice and also recommended I speak to the Advocate about possibly obtaining a barrister pro bono, so he actually managed to save me thousands of pounds. He explained things clearly with patience and in a friendly, honest manner.

My wife and I had our wills drawn up many years ago. Since then, several things have changed, grandchildren etc. We wanted to discuss how relevant our will was now and take advice on the alterations needed to fulfill our wishes. Toni at PLP was a great help and very knowledgeable. She talked us through our options and we are now comfortable that when the time comes our estate will be settled the way we would want it to be. Thanks Toni!
