Tagged solicitor Holly Gilbert

Very impressed with the whole process including that the original hourly rate when given a voucher for a reduced fee Will was honoured in spite of a subsequent annual rise in the hourly rate. Grateful for caring personal input with very patient help answering my questions, explaining complex inheritance legalities related to Private Pensions & restrictions upon Executorship role of Solicitor. I felt 'seen' as an individual, was confident that my lawyer had my best interest at heart, and this reassuring personal approach smoothed the emotiveness of making a new Will. Thank you Holly.

Tagged solicitor Heidi Cowling

Dealing with the estate of a deceased member of the family is emotionally draining at the best of times - Nick Bevan, Katriona Lovelock have been great in helping us deal with the potential pitfalls of beneficiaries. In addition the teams of Vicky, Rebecca. Heidi have proved knowledgeable and helpful along the way.

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

I came into contact with Michael after my grandfather's estate and wishes were put to the test by estranged family members. I was his main executor and main beneficiary, I was coming to terms with losing the two most important people in my life (grandparents) and all that came with the estate. Michael had to step in and achieve ultimately what my grandad wanted after some rather troublesome contact with said estranged family. He worded each contact perfectly, while keeping me at ease and reminding me what my options were, ultimately supporting me to the end. One thing I can't be more grateful for is that I stated to Michael that I was dyslexic and that a lot of text was hard to absorb, so when needed he was happy to speak to me over the phone, explain his emails so that I could respond in return with an educated response. Having the bedside manner for want of a better expression along with the grit and tenacity to get the job done is a must and I had the right guy. I hope to soon put it behind me, and remember who this was all about but without the right support I don't know where I would be.
