Clare Nichols

Tagged solicitor Clare Nichols

Clare and Abigail were so efficient, caring and helpful after the death of my husband. Clare showed a lot of patience in explaining what needed to be done. Grant of Probate came within a few weeks, probably due to the fact all the necessary details had been put together before applying. Many thanks.

Emma Cole

Tagged solicitor Emma Cole

Generally speaking, I have been very happy with the way that the Estate has ben handled. There was a positive reaction to suggestions such as chasing HMRC and other organisations causing delay, and information was provided when requested and was clear and concise. Our solicitor was kind, friendly, helpful and approachable, apart from having the usual high standard of professional knowledge. If I have a complaint, it was how the sale of the property was handled by the Winchester office in the initial phase of the sale. Happily, matters improved when there was a change in solicitor, albeit that I was not informed immediately.

Hayden Bain

Tagged solicitor Hayden Bain

I had the unfortunate task of dealing with the executry of my late sister who passed away suddenly. In a time when I was not in a good place and struggling to cope with the legal and emotional aspects, Hayden was a beacon of support and professionalism. From the outset, he was exceptionally patient and understanding, guiding me through every step with clarity and compassion. His thorough knowledge and attention alleviated much of the stress I was experiencing. Hayden not only managed the legalities with the utmost competence but also provided invaluable advice on what needed to be done, making a difficult time much more manageable. I cannot recommend Hayden highly enough for anyone in need of a dedicated and empathetic solicitor. His support was instrumental during a challenging period, and I am immensely grateful for his service.

Ashleigh ImberHelen Gowin

Tagged solicitors Ashleigh Imber and Helen Gowin

I cannot commend Helen Gowin and Ashleigh Imber high enough for the level of support and diligence shown in our matters over the past two years in the dealing of my late sister's estate. As a sole (and first time) executor living in Australia and having the responsibility for an estate in the UK was extremely daunting. They both showed patience, compassion and diligence to ensure I was guided and supported through the whole process, taking time to update and explain my responsibilities and requirements at all times. For this I am extremely grateful.

Filip Feret

Tagged solicitor Filip Feret

Filip and Suzanne at Elliot Mather were amazing. Filip in particular lead us through the whole probate process smoothly and confidently. He was always there to help and offer advice and did so without putting pressure on purchasing additional services. Responses to questions I had were quick and clearly explained so I felt in control throughout the whole process. I can't thank them both enough for making a potentially stressful situation as pain-free as possible.
