Reviewing and redrafting of my will

I found the process of reviewing my will and making minor changes with Anluan very easy to do.
Anluan was very friendly and explained things in simple terms.
The whole process involved two visits to the office and it was completed in quick time. The staff at Coalville who I met were very friendly too.

Rescued a bad situation

I have been pleased with the legal service I have had without which I would not have made it at all well though a difficult personal and legal situation. I relied on the support, advice and legal expertise from a really great solicitor and having put my trust in her, I found that she knew the right way to do everything to achieve a suitable outcome that also didn't leave me feeling bad about how others involved had been treated. I can rest easy with the outcome and I am thankful for the excellent work.

We have used a Lucie Clayson on two different occasions for the sale of our parents properties.
Lucie is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable and most importantly approachable. If Lucie cannot speak with you, calls are always returned. I would highly recommend! Thank you Lucie.

I phoned hanging on for sometime, buno one picked up,. I then sent a email requesting a call detailed for conveyancing dept again, NO reply even after 2 weeks. If they can't respond to new enquiries, then I'm afraid they won't get my business.

Couldn’t recommend Sue Oswell any higher. Made the process of buying my first property very easy, stress free and straight forward. Always quick to reply to any questions I raised and relay information to keep the process moving swiftly!

Thank you Sue
