Battling DWP
Lee and his team argued with DWP on our family’s behalf regarding whether my mother’s estate had to repay any benefits.
The DWP were terribly slow - it took 18 months to get a clear bill of health. But Lee’s team kept us up to date, and got a successful outcome eventually

Pleasant experience, quality output
Lee was patient and professional and happy to meet a couple of times with us to assist us in drawing up our first wills. The correspondence and the draft documents contained no errors or typos whatsoever, which sets Walker Foster apart from most professional firms nowadays. Overall very happy with the service and the result, my only small complaint was the time it sometimes took to respond to our emails, but we were in no particular rush. I will certainly use WF again.
