I had met Gemma Brooke from Cygnet many years previously networking. Cygnet were recommended by my financial adviser and it was only then I remembered her. Brilliant service, professional and friendly and value for money. I had to change my will but this was not an issue and Gemma and her colleague Steph visited me at home so this was so much nicer moreso if you are upset at least you are in the privacy of your own home. Would recommend them unconditionally.

Used Cygnet Law to get Grant of Probate after my mother passed away. Although I was unable to meet with the Probate Solicitor, Gemma Brooke, in person, as she had covid, she spoke to me over the phone from home and explained everything in simple terms that I could easily understand and made, what might have been a complicated process for me to deal with, very easy. Would highly recommend Cygnet Law. Reasonable fee charged. Thank you Gemma
