Mark Adams

Tagged solicitor Mark Adams

I reside in the US and was referred to Hay-Kilner by a good friend who lives in Newcastle to assist in resolving an issue regarding my father’s estate. Mark Adams was the solicitor considered most suitable for the case and I was extremely satisfied in how he worked with me and all the people involved, including my uk tax consultant. The distance between us - time wise and mileage wise - had no impact on our ability to communicate at any point and I would highly recommend Mark and his team at Hay-Kilner to anyone.

I have been using Mr Robinsons professional services for best part of a couple of decades now - for all my personal and business transactions. There’s simply no one else I would trust more to look after myself and families legal requirements! I guess I should send him a thank you card sometime soon! ;)
