Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

I am very grateful to Carly at Frodshams Solicitors for helping my parents plan for their future. It is something they had wanted to do for a long time but couldnt seem to find the right advice. Carly took the time to listen to them, their aims and worries and created a bespoke plan which works for them. Thank you so much for your kindness, simple explanations and speedy actions, much appreciated.

I have known Hawley & Rodgers, Loughborough and therefore David Rodgers from my professional life for many years and subsequently personal life. They, and in particular Michelle Frisby and her team, have 'held my hand' through differing, sometimes complicated, matters relating to property. They have undertaken probate for me which was dealt with so sympathetically and quickly by Caroline Williams. In addition they have taken care of our Wills guiding us to help us achieve what we wished. H&R are a most ethical, kind and helpful practice that will only charge a client fair fees which is a great comfort. Needless to say I recommend the practice to everyone, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for legal advice.

As I had a totally good experience, I have no comments to add other than the staff in general were friendly as well as helpful.

The appointment to update my will and instigate Lasting Power of Attorneys was conducted in a very professional manner. Farida made me feel very comfortable and offered good advice during the whole process. She is a credit to the company.

Camilla was excellent with my will and help with certifying the documentation I needed. She was very attentive to all my needs for the will and drafted it quickly and professionally. I felt she listened and explained everything clearly including having a good understanding to make sure all was in order and answered all my queries clearly.

Excellent professional company, a pleasure to do business with. Very transparent and clear from the very beginning and made a complicated issue seem very straightforward.

Have recently used Gardner Champion solicitors for Probate services. Gardner Champion provided a thoroughly professional service, were very approachable and professional in all aspects. Would use again and highly recommend.

Oakwood Solicitors wrote a joint will for me and my partner. It was much cheaper than we thought it would be. The process was straight forward and Charlotte and Katherine were a pleasure to deal with. Even the staff on reception were polite, courteous and friendly! Would highly recommend!

We knew where we stood throughout our family law case which was handled brilliantly. Also had my will and LPAs done with an equally great service from Rachel Watson

The business is well organised and waiting times were good. Plans worked well in the room and everyone was made at ease. Nicola came across as efficient and clever and yet human
