Paul Moores

Tagged solicitor Paul Moores

We dealt with Paul Moores, who showed great professionalism from start to finish. Paul diligently explained the various options available for us with both the LPOA for Property and Financial Affairs, as well as for Health and Welfare. Paul also explained the process and guided us throughout each step. Paul was also in touch and extremely responsive, as and when required. We have no hesitation in highly recommending both Paul and the M&M team.
