Thank you to Jonathan Dattani - Ashtons Legal LLP

5

I'm very grateful to Jonathan Dattani for all his guidance, professional approach to my Will and LPA. I am 56 years and needed to update my Will and consider big questions related to LPA. I was quite daunted by the whole matter. Jonathan helped me to understand the matter better by explaining the legal implications of various options. I feel at peace with the decisions I made, and this is largely due to Jonathan's ability to make the information accessible. After my initial meeting with him, I took some time to think about the content of both my Will and LPA. I appreciated this space and Jonathan's flexibility, sensitivity, attention, politeness, diligence, as well as his deeper approach to my 'big' questions. His service was outstanding and the whole process smooth and straightforward. I am also grateful to Hannah Maskell who as Legal PA was also very professional, courteous and great in communication/emails.

Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney

A fairly straightforward update of wills and writing of lasting powers of attorney was dealt with professionally and pleasantly. The explanation of legal points was clear. The fees were high but were agreed in advance. Would recommend.

We found the advice sound, and easily understood subsequent work done by your colleague was professional, speedy and well done. We were made to feel welcome at our visits and the hospitality excellent.
We would have no doubts about referring Woodfines to someone else. A very friendly organisation. Thank you!

Probate

I have used Woodfines on numerous occasions over the last couple of years. For my Fathers probate, Mothers Will, Mother probate and tax matters. I found them a very professional and approachable company to deal with. They gave me great legal support when dealing with deaths of family members. I especially thank Jonathan Dattani for his guidance.

Excellent Service
We would like to thank Nic Dino, Nicola Burdett and Jonathan Dattani for the excellent service we received whilst dealing with the Sale of our late Father's property. We found Nic and his team approachable, efficient, and knowledgeable, guiding us throughout the conveyancing process.
We would certainly recommend Nic and his team at Woodfines.
