Professional and friendly service

We saw Abbi to write our wills. We had an idea of what we wanted but Abbi explained and advised us of the best way forward. Email communication kept us up to date with where we were at and booked an appointment for the signing quickly. At this point we realised there was something we wanted to change and Abbi was willing to make the changes while we waited so the signing could go ahead. She explained the role she could take for future requirements and for storing the wills. We would highly recommended Abbi to family and friends Many thanks Abbi

Excellent Service for Wills

We used the Leek Branch during Free Wills month for my mother. We were made to feel very welcome by the receptionist and my mothers mobile scooter easily fitted into the premisis. Charles was very friendly and accomadating and helped us draft a basic will for my mother. We did not feel rushed but felt we had a thourough service.

A pleasant process in Will making.

Abbi made what we perceived as an onerous task, simple, straight forward and a suprisingly enjoyable experience. Abbi was friendly and proffessional through out all our meetings with her. No question we asked felt inappropriate or to small to receive an answer. We were made to feel that we were the focus of the whole process and came away with much satisfaction with the process and confident that choosing abbi was right for us.

Excellent service

I have used Abbi to change my Will. It has been the most straightforward and easy experience I’ve ever had with a solicitor. Abbi is efficient and knowledgeable and has a friendly and reassuring manner and it’s been a pleasure to deal with her.

We were probably one of the earliest clients of the founder Jim Goddard some 25 ish years ago and we wouldn't go anywhere else. We always recommend Complete Wills and recently a family member has gone ahead with a single will and we are going to receive a £25 love2shop voucher which is a nice touch for us. Tracey on Reception is lovely - very welcoming and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble. We recently saw Pip who gave us excellent service. So friendly and very professional. A big thankyou to all the staff for your help, advice and for being so lovely.

10/10 service from Carole!

We had Carole as our solicitor and we managed to complete in 9 weeks from offer accepted, Carole was so helpful throughout the process and kept us in the loop with any important updates, she made what we thought was going to be an awful stressful experience, the complete opposite. Thank you so much !!

Would recommend

We had a brilliant experience throughout the process with Goddard & Dunbar, with Hannah in particular keeping us upto date when anything progressed with our house purchase, this was something we appreciated being first time buyers. Nothing was too much trouble and I wouldn’t not hesitate to recommend.

I had a very positive experience with Goddard Dunbar & Associates during the sale of my property. The team were professional, responsive, and kept the process moving efficiently from start to finish. Communication was clear throughout, and any queries I had were addressed promptly. They handled the legal side of the transaction thoroughly, kept me informed at each stage, and worked well with the estate agent to ensure a smooth exchange and completion. I was particularly impressed with how they managed everything while I was overseas, making the process straightforward and stress-free. Their guidance and attention to detail gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly. I would highly recommend Goddard Dunbar & Associates to anyone looking for reliable and efficient conveyancing services.
