We were pleased with the initial response with our enquiry to have wills done. An appointment was quickly arranged at a suitable time for ourselves. Everything was explained in a clear and precise manner by James. The whole process was done very smoothly and without any problems. We are both pleased with everything that was done for us and would like to thank you for the services that Eaton Smith provided.
