Monika Volsing

Tagged solicitor Monika Volsing

Monika was extremely helpful, giving advice and information before we even decided we would use Winston to deal with mums estate. Once we had decided she did a fabulous job getting all the probate forms submitted. The grant of probate came through really quickly with no hiccups or problems. Excellent value for money service.

Ashley Marshall

Tagged solicitor Ashley Marshall

I contacted Forbes solicitors at Gordon House about my late father's estate as they were near to where I live and I was familiar with the name. Ashley Marshall contacted me and was extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and did not try to baffle me with the law but was upfront and straight. I did not feel rushed in our meetings and he was always very helpful and accommodating. A very efficient service and I would highly recommend this firm.

Matt Damant

Tagged solicitor Matt Damant

Our dealings with Matt over the past year or so have been relatively straightforward and smooth when you take into account the potential stress and upset whilst going through probate. Matt is a kind, patient and professionally empathetic person, whom I would highly recommend if you suffer with high anxiety. He explains everything thoroughly, in an easy to understand fashion, and is very helpful and efficient in his approach. Thank you so much Matt for all your advice and guidance during a sensitive and difficult process that we may face in life.

Sophie Booker

Tagged solicitor Sophie Booker

Sophie Booker handled my late sister's estate. She had passed away unexpectedly, leaving no will...and a big mess. As a Canadian, I found most aspects - selling the house, dealing with the government offices, dealing with banks - confusing and radically different from Canadian rules. Sophie was always patient and clear in explaining everything. She anticipated questions and never let geography (a 5-hr time difference) ever get in the way of timely communication. And, she has a great sense of humour too!

Jasmin Marshall

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall

We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.
