“We recently completed the probate of our parents estate with Poole Alcock Solicitors and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Although the whole process took two and a half years to settle due due to its complexity, the team was absolutely incredible throughout. They were very kind, supportive and consistently hard working and took 100% responsibility of the estate, which gave us peace of mind during the difficult time. Losing both of our parents was difficult enough without the stress of legal paperwork. Poole Alcock a massive thank you, you took full ownership of the process and worked tirelessly to get it finished. Finally thank you to Andrew Roberts and Charles Smalley, Ellie Dalby and all your staff have been excellent”

“I am very pleased I found Susanne locally to us. She was, and is, very pleasant, has empathy and kept me up-to-date with matters. She explained probate which was, then easier to understand; dealing with Susanne took a big weight of my shoulders during my grieving period and having seen what probate entailed. Probate also came thru quicker than I expected. I would recommend Susanne and she is now within my contacts for any future matters. Thank you Susanne.”

“After the unexpected passing of close family we reached out to Gardner Leader who paired us with Marie. She was compassionate, friendly, and understanding of our situation and our needs, and answered all our questions from the beginning, no matter how large or small. She was clear about the process and kept us up to date on the progress, which was very fast and efficient. Our needs changed part way through and she proactively helped us contact the appropriate department and arrange meetings with professionals outside Gardner Leader when needed, even at very short notice. Nobody wants to deal with the loss of a loved one, but Marie made the process much easier and simpler than we expected. We highly recommend her services and those of her colleagues at Gardner Leader and were continually impressed with their speed and high standards.”

“Ian Cranefield of Richard Nelson LLP was an excellent, professional, solicitor. Ian advised, helped and supported me through a 7 year legal battle that commenced in the Court of Protection, progressing to a High Court Claim and Mediation with a positive result. He kept me calm in difficult and depressing situations, with his expertise, knowledge and empathy. During this legal claim Probate and Administration of a will progressed with the assistance initially of Martin Cruddas, then Kerry Wiig (formerly of Richard Nelson LLP) then Scott Walker of Richard Nelson LLP who finalised administration. Ian Cranefield oversaw the progress through each change. I also thank all those that assisted on your telephones and accounts. I would fully recommend Richard Nelson LLP. ”

“I initially met Isabel as Judge & Priestly were the recommended firm to handle matters following the death of my beloved father. She was from the start and all the way through incredibly kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Isabel and her team have done a great job with respect to my father's Estate, supporting me through Probate which in itself is quite an experience. She subsequently also helped me put in place LPAs for myself and also to redraft my Will. She takes great care to explain everything, she is patient and sensitive in her approach and also steps in and galvanises other teams within J&P when matters get particularly complex or difficult. Thank you Isabel!”
