Deed of Variation

I have recently used Fiona to organise a Deed of Variation for a bequest I was due to receive. Communications were always speedy and clear and, also, her estimation of costs for the process were accurate, always a plus!

Probate and estate completion

Fiona handled the estate of my Mother after her death. The entire matter was dealt with care and skill. Fiona communicated every step to the family and worked with compassion at all times. I'd like to thank her and the team for their professional approach while dealing with this sad task.

Child Care Orders Support

Amy and her team were wonderful throughout a very traumatic time. Amy is very experienced and empathetic with childcare matters. I would highly recommend Amy to represent a parent needing support through challenging separations and court proceedings.
I am extremely grateful to Amy for the support she provided.

Professional, engaging, and very supportive

This was the second time I had to call upon Amy Foweather and her team for legal advice, support, and service. I had no hesitation in re-approaching Amy following the professional, friendly, and completely supportive service I received the first time around.
Amy and her team guided me through all the necessary stages and made me feel at ease at every touchpoint. Costs were also managed and optimised right across the timeline of my case, which was really helpful.
I would fully recommend Amy and the Harrowells team for legal services.
