Tagged solicitor Lucy Owen

I recently decided to write my Will and giving a donation to the RNLI - a Charity close to my heart as it Saves Lives. On looking at the RNLI Website I found Richard Griffiths & Co Solicitors in New Milton was closest to my home. From the first Telephone call to the Company I received First Class treatment - Courtesy, Respect and Sensitivity.. Lucy Owen was the Solicitor helping me. A most delightful young lady. I could not fault the time she gave up to me., asking relevant questions to ensure I knew my wishes are exact. I cannot recommend her more highly. Thank You
