Mirror Wills

My husband and I needed to find out about 'Mirror Wills' and hopefully go ahead with making them
Initially we did so as a result of Martin Lewis' Money tips re WillAid which listed Best Solicitors as a 'local participating firm' We contacted the firm and an appointment was arranged with Ellie Whitehead at our closest offce with a subsequent appointment 3 mweeks later when our business was successfully concluded
Thank You

Exceptional service all through the process

From the initial contact with Alicia we were given enough information and help to be confident that this was the right choices for our family.
We were so impressed that after my mum was dealt with so good we also used Alicia to do what we needed also.

Excellent work, thorough and transparent

We have used Stephanie’s services as FTB and we are very delighted with the service we received.
We went through 2 properties before settling on our home and Stephanie has been helpful throughout.
Professional, patient with very quick response time, she always answered our questions thoroughly and clearly without any hesitation or delay.
When it came to the completion date, everything ran exceptionally, with a very smooth step-by-step process.

We highly recommend Stephanie’s service to any buyer. You will be in safe hands.

Great Service

Just completed a will during free will month by leaving a donation to charity.
Best Solicitors made this a very simple process and great to use a satelite office in Stocksbridge without having to go into town. Ellie was very friendly and she explained everything fully. Would definately recommend.

One of the main things 'we' as customers require is good/speedy communication. I can't fault my Solicitor Ian in any way at all. Kept me Informed of progress and answered my emails in a timely manner. Thank you Best Solicitors.

They don't help with defamation of a character so can't exactly call them best solicitors.

This conclusion had taken them a full 7 days to conclude and respond which has caused me time wasted and setbacks.

The lady I was talking with on the phone was very rude and ended the phone call when I requested her name.

Overall I'm very disappointed and annoyed with the way I was treated when trying to source help and advice with this matter. (Hence 1 star)

I do not recommend.

Best Solicitors truly lived up to their name, providing an exceptional 5-star experience from start to finish. Ian, my dedicated contact, made the home-buying process remarkably easy with his knowledge and expertise. His availability and commitment ensured a smooth journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding company. Ian's support, always just a phone call away, added an extra layer of reassurance to the entire process!

About this branch

Description

The truth is solicitors are normal people. We’re frustrated and delighted by the same things as you. The perception that solicitors are distant and difficult only prevents the most vulnerable people from seeking help – and that injustice troubles me deeply.
