Garner & Hancock Solicitors Ltd

After struggling to cope with dealing with an inheritance, we requested help from Garner&Hancock. The overall management of our needs was handled by Jakub Kotan. This involved deaing with properties in three countries (sale, conveyancing, etc.), dealing with the authorities abroad, bringing in colleagues where necessary to help with taxes, our own will writing and power of attorney requirements. Under Jakub's guidance, we had contact with a number of his colleagues and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people for their help: Matthew Goddard, Gurdev Mann, Tiana Stewart, Komal Soni, Kiran Walia, Nigel George, Natalie Meehan, Imogen Cotter, Chloe Melling, Charne Rossouw and Massimo Cairo - my sincere apologies to anyone I may have missed. All the members of staff we contacted were highly professional, polite, friendly and effective. Despite not being the easiest clients to deal with, we are very happy with the help received. Once again, thanks to everybody. One final point, we already have Garner&Hancock on speed-dial for when the next of us "shuffle(s) of this mortal coil".

I had a probate sale to process and, having good experiences with Garner & Hancock in the past, chose them to deal with it. The team working on this (Gurdev, Komal and Tiana) worked diligently. I was greatly impressed with their professionalism and efficiency to bring the matter to a successful conclusion without delay, despite being under Covid-lockdown for most of the time. I am very happy with the service I received.

I instructed Garner & Hancock Siolicitors to handle the Probate and tax matters relating to my late brother's Estate. I was introduced to Massimo Cairo, Trusts and Estates Executive, who l found to be polite and courteous, very professional and knowledgeable . Massimo was always very helpful and speedy to respond to any queries l raised and, most importantly, kept me informed of the progress of the process throughout. There was also transparency with regard to fees and admin costs and how these arose. I am very grateful to Massimo and his team who took on the paperwork required to get Probate and dealt with HMRC to settle the tax associated with the Estate, thereby taking away from me alll the stress of the situation. I highly recommend Garner & Hancock and especially Massimo Cairo who l could not fault.

Arrogant, poor advice, slow and expensive. This firm should be avoided. It’s odd that you say you have no record of me as a client. You took over £20k in fees from my Mother’s estate. Your statement is untrue.

My parent's estate was complicated and we needed a Solicitor firm that could navigate through complexities. Garner & Hancock were recommended to me by my company solicitors. They were superb. Difficult problems became simplified and actioned in the correct order. The manner from our contact solicitor (Massimo) was impeccable and thoughtful. 100% recommend and I will be back there the next time I require legal services.

It was a pleasure to have our wills simplified by Brandon and Nigel- they listened carefully to our requirements, and this is now reflected in the new wills prepared on our behalf.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kiran Walia of Garner & Hancock for more than 20 years. I have always found her advice, approach and work ethic to be second to none. In addition Garner & Hancock are a well run firm of solicitors who provide valued and extensive legal advice to myself and my family matters. i have no hesitation in recommending them further.
