Painless and easy will

Making our wills was very straightforward. The cost makes a Yorkshireman wince but Katie did a good job.

Great service

My wife and I were looking to make a will and we approached Walker Foster Solicitors. We were attended to by Alex Richardson who was professional in all our dealings and suitably advised us and prepared our Wills. We would recommend.

Green farm purchase

Despite a slow start to preparatory work to push forward to a clearly defined projected completion date estimate, Anna became increasingly communicative, proactive and personable as we worked towards completion of a sale which involved some unusual problems. Our heartfelt thanks to her and her walker foster team for the much needed professionalism and knowledge to get over all hurdles...

Excellent Service 👌

Rachel Hanson and Ian Haynes took the stress out of both the Probate and the Conveyancing at a time when we were grieving. We put our trust in them and they did not let us down. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them 👌

Sorted the "Will" on recommendation from my pension adviser. A very professional service. Gave us good info and talked through our options.

These guys clearly know what they are doing, and we have already recommended them to someone else.

Thank you 😊

This review is 6 months late however my opinion has not changed in the slightest. The service I received was absolutely amazing from Sue Hartley, I could not have more positive things to say. No matter how many other clients she had, she was so prompt to answer any of my queries and was on the ball with chasing any responses as needed. I was a first time buyer with a lot a of excitement and no knowledge of the process and the frustration that can come with it. Sue was excellent at explaining every stage, anything I needed to do to move the process forward Sue gave guidance as required.
Could not have asked for a better solicitor and I’m sorry this review took so long!
