Making a Will

Joel and his colleagues helped make a complicated process straightforward and understandable. They took the time to explain every aspect and did so without making you feel rushed or pressured.
They were supportive every step of the way whether in person or via remote communication.
We would definitely recommend them to others and would not hesitate to use them again for any future requirements.

The only thing I didn't like was that Joel would ask for something one at a time instead of all together.

Called three times in a coupe of days to engage a solicitor to act on my behalf.
Mathew wasn't available so I left a message to call back explaining that the case is time sensitive...... no call back.

I called this morning to reach Mathew and the person who answered the phone was very abrupt and not very welcoming at all.
From there I was passed to someone else, who although more friendly, needed me to explain the reason for my call - this is now the third time and third person I've had to explain this to, without even speaking to a solicitor.

Needless to say I'm off to someone else.
