Commercial, Wills & Probate.
Had reason to need a solicitor for a Commercial deal, Writing our wills and a Probate matter all in the last six months🙈. Craig we had used previously and was fantastic again. Easily contactable personally and gets the job done. Kelly again was superb with her in depth knowledge of the wills and probate laws. The whole process from start to finish was superb. Can’t rate them highly enough.

Superb from start to finish
Craig Williams and the team at the Harrogate office dealt with our recent purchase of a small amount of garden land. What should have been simple was made very difficult by the seller - but having this team fighting our corner made a very frustrating situation much more pleasant. Would not hesitate to recommend them, could not have asked for more in every aspect.
