Super Solicitors

We received the same excellent, efficient service when we made our Lasting Powers of Attorney as we did when we made our Wills. We would recommend Hugh and his team to everyone.

LPAs and Advance Decision

I have at last drawn up my LPAs and Advance Decision thanks to Sarah's patience and understanding, as well as expertise. I couldn't have done it without her. I first considered it 20 years ago but couldn't think of a way forward but Sarah helped me through the hoops. A great weight off my mind knowing my affairs are in very capable hands. Money well spent!

Divorce

Wow, Amanda has made this so simple, I cannot recommend Amanda enough. Well done Amanda. Unfortunately I did place the sale of my 30 year family home with these solicitors and I quickly removes it because I did not connect with Mercedes. What a shame as I wanted Risdons to deal with everything. Never mind, the divorce is going through seamlessly. Thank you Amanda 😊

Set up of LPA

We only dealt with the receptionist(s) and our Solicitor Lindsey Challinor (who has now moved away), but even staff who were passing by whilst we waited for our appointment made sure we were being looked after.

Contacted to get an idea of their costs for dealing with my divorce, seemed helpful and friendly so tried to instruct them. Took them around 2 weeks to send formal costs estimate and had to chase them for it several times. Meanwhile, they drafted one e mail to my ex husband which was basically a rushed cut and paste job using text from my e mail to them, very unimpressive. Decided to leave it there and instruct another firm only to get a letter from Risdon Hosegood over a year later threatening to take action over their bill - which I'd never received and which they'd omitted to enclose with that letter - shoddy work again. Would never use - my divorce was dealt with very efficiently and cost effectively by another local firm.

Dulverton

Ive dealt with Risdens at Dulverton for many years and I've always found the entire crew to be very professional , the upstairs team who totally run the office still find time to traditionally communicate and explain the process without the need to use a soleless internet form that takes away personal service. All of the team seem to work together and produce genuine support which is very rare but deeply appreciated in this faceless world we now live ,, DON'T CHANGE WE LIKE THE WAY YOU ARE .

We have used Risdons solicitors in Bridgwater for several things for our will and for our property. We have not had any problems at all. Michelle has sorted a few things with our property and I can highly recommend her. Thank you Risdons solicitors.
