Rob's diligent work combines with good-humoured, timely and clear communication to provide the perfect foil to a reluctant, grumpy and somewhat disorganised executor.

Rob Simpson led my family through extremely complicated financial and legal processes over many months with great professionalism, acumen and good humour. He was always patient, prompt and incisive, and explained things to us in the clearest possible ways. We trusted him implicitly to act with integrity on our behalf and to charge us the correct reasonable fees for his services. This was most refreshing and reassuring.

This is the second time I've used Thomas Simpson. On both occasions, the service from Hilary and Rob has been highly professional, thorough, and with a friendly approach. Highly recommended.

I was looking for an alternative to the big 'all-services' firms of solicitors and so was very pleased to find Thomas Simpson who specialise in wills and related matters. Rob Simpson is helpful and approachable and made the process of settling my will (put off for some time!) very easy. I now need to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney and will use him again. Very happy with the service and the price.

I would highly recommend Rob Simpson. Rob sorted my late uncle's estate for me. He was efficient honest and very compassionate. His quick thinking when there was a major problem saved the day. Without him there would have been no estate. I can't speak highly enough of his services. He will be handling mine and my Husbands affairs in the future. You're in safe hands with Rob Simpson and his partner.

Professionalism personified
I feel very fortunate to have been able to call on Rob (Simpson) to obtain probate and administer the estates of my mother in 2018, and my partner in 2021. Both cases were complex, but Rob handled every challenge skilfully and efficiently, and with great professionalism. His wide ranging legal knowledge and expertise in the above areas are second to none. He is also very good at explaining complicated legal matters clearly, which really helped and reassured me. He is very friendly and easy to talk to, and always made me and other members of my family feel at ease. I also engaged Rob's services to prepare my Will, as I value his work so highly.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rob.

Probate
I first met Robert ( Rob ) when my husband died . He came to my home when I was very low and feeling vulnerable but it didn't take him long to make me feel like i was in safe hands. He was professional, knowledgeable, and explained the process of gaining probate clearly. I was able to contact him easily when I had questions and the response always quick.
Further down the line I didn't hesitate to use him to update my will.

Professional advice given in a reassuring manner
My experience of Langdowns is restricted to the contact I had with Rob Simpson and Fozya Chohan. Both were very professional and very willing to answer simple questions. Rob has an affable manner, which encourages confidence in the company. The fees incurred (for the completion of two Wills) were very reasonable.
