We would not hesitate to recommend Nadia Morgan of Guy Williams Layton LLP. She made the process of drawing up our Wills and also LPAs very straight forward and kept us informed as the issues progressed. She was able to impart the information in a way which made it easy for lay people to understand. She was patient, friendly and proffessional and we felt very comfotable throughout the whole process.

Building Negligence Claim

Following the emergence of some issues and concerns associated with some building works undertaken at our property, and following attempts to engage and resolve amicably with the other parties involved in the design and build of an extension, we contacted Jonathan Hogg at GWL on the recommendation of one of his colleagues, Peter Marsh. So began the start of an exhaustive and prolonged legal battle. Throughout this time, fraught at times with frustration exhibited by the behaviour of the other parties, Jonathan led by example, presented arguments, systematically, technically and from a robust legal position. Despite our concerns at times during the process Jonathan reassured us, using expert witnesses and barrister advice when necessary to support our claim. With every obstacle presented by the other parties Jonathan, working with us, provided evidence to support our position, counter and rebuff theirs. Eventually, and without the need to issue court proceedings, we reached a conclusion and settlement. We can honestly say working with Jonathan was a pleasure, where his knowledge, professionalism, tenacity and focus were exemplary. Above all his openness, reassurance and honesty was a breath of fresh air. We would, without hesitation, recommend Jonathan and GWL for legal advice and representation if asked.

Excellent Service

I recently instructed Rovena at GWL to draft my will following an unfortunate change in my personal circumstances. This was done via the National Free Wills Network. The process was very straightforward and Rovena was highly professional, efficient and communicated clearly throughout. She was also very empathetic towards my current situation, which I really appreciated. Overall I have been very satisfied with the service provided, and already have and will continue to recommend the firm and Rovena to others.

Guy Williams Layton LLP

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that Rovena was able to support you with professionalism, clarity, and empathy during a difficult time. It means a great deal to know the process felt straightforward and that you were satisfied with the service provided. We truly appreciate your recommendation and trust.

Jane Hogg of GWL solicitors acting on my behalf in recent matters of probate and will writing has proved to be highly professional in every respect, most diligent, and has produced the desired results in record time. I cannot fault her representation of my interests in any way whatsoever.

Have used them for conveyancing of two property sales now and both times was glad of the responsiveness and thoroughness compared to poor experience elsewhere. Very happy with the service and would definitely use again. Special thanks to Wendy - you're a star!
