    Excellent quality of service

    My experience in dealing with Whitehead Monckton in particular Richard Hearne and Dominic Williams of a number of issues has been excellent. Promptness, clear explanation of procedure and congenial approach has thus far made my dealings much easier to cope with under fairly difficult circumstances.

    Making a will

    Andrea and her team were good, efficient and making a will was made quite easy even though there was a lot of paperwork to fill in before the first appointment. The only problem I encountered was getting an appointment to finalise and sign my will with Andrea. I wasn’t told that Andrea was on holiday for 2 weeks so my expectations of getting an appointment wasn’t met. Then when I finally got an appointment it was cancelled which did not please me at all! So to summarise Andrea and her staff were good but the service was not.

    Whitehead Monckton Limited

    Thank you for your feedback, Kim. We’re glad Andrea and the team made the will process easy and efficient. We apologise for the delays and appointment issues and will work to improve communication and scheduling.

    I contacted Whitehead Monckton for a new Will to be written. I was on a short timeframe as I was leaving Maidstone. I really appreciated all the hard work that Robert Chawner and his team did in order to complete everything before I left. Robert explained the Will thoroughly at both meetings and answered all of my questions clearly. I felt the advice he gave me was pertinent and very helpful. Overall, I feel very reassured and pleased with this process. Thank you.
