Expert and human legal advice of integrity
Mr John Cregan advised and supported me in family matters. I was deeply impressed by his ability to deal with a sensitive and, for me, complicated situation in a very kind and human manner.

I am very happy with the service I received
I am very happy with the service I received in the probate of my late wife's will and decided to have my own (amateur) will tested. I was very glad I did: although it would have worked, John Cregan was able to point out potential difficulties and clarified my ambiguities. The whole process was painless and straightforward. I am very grateful to him and Ruth Brooks for so often acting as my messenger especially when my health was suspect. I will most certainly return to Churchers if i have further legal requirements and my next of kin are aware.

Teamwork shown by Churchers made the whole process simple.
I have just completed the writing of my Will. The completely professional advice from Faye Evans gave me my options and assistance in me making the decisions I needed to. In addition the teamwork shown by Churchers made the whole process simple. This included the help provided by Ruth Brooks and the final execution by John Creggan. I mention all those involved as my Will has been undertaken during the restrictions due to COVID-19 and wanted to show that Churchers managed to undertake my Will and keep myself and their staff safe. Thank you
