A Good Experience
I was expecting a difficult time in arranging a new will after my wife and two daughters all died; however, the new will was arranged very smoothly and stress-free by Laura Parker at Gotelee Woodbridge. Very well recommended.

Very slow process
We went to Gotelee for two simple revisions of our Wills. This process has taken nine months to complete. During this time, communication was poor. The draft Wills were inaccurate, requiring multiple revisions. This is at odds with our previous experiences of Gotelee, which were excellent.

Selling a property, conveyancing
Excellent service; good communication (which in my case, essential, as I live so far away from the house that I was selling).

Client Review
The solicitor appointed by Gotelee to deal with my request to register my son and son-in-law as legal powers of attorney, kindly agreed to come to my house, as I am no longer able to drive. From our fist meeting, I was impressed by his approach; engaging and considerate in explaining the whole process to me and, in subsequent conversations and messages, staying in close contact until the LPAs were registered and complete.

Absolute waste of time! Avoid these idiots!
I submitted my case to them, they said they would review it and get back to me.
Gotelee never bothered to reply or send any response.
Throughly disgusted and with a case that is sensitive.

I work as an estate agent and i can truly say hand on heart, you will not find a more competent solicitor than Sam Alvin. She goes above and beyond and always ensures that we get to completion.

This is by far the go to firm for any issues you may have. You are made to feel valued from the outset and they are so confident in what they do. Wouldn't recommend any other. Thank you Hugh and Max.
