Richard Wilkes

Tagged solicitor Richard Wilkes

I approached Richard with my LPA suggestions that were personal and comprehensive. His advice was very accurate and knowledgeable and suggested my views although accurate, were over-complicated. Hence he advised more straightforward wording that for Public Guardian approval on first submission.
