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.

A relative passed away and we needed help with their will and probate. We were told by a friend that Gemma Brooke was the best at dealing with this. On our very first meeting with Gemma she was very friendly and made us feel at ease. She told us not to worry and that she would take care of everything. Well, I can honestly say that Gemma has gone above and beyond at keeping us informed every step of the way. When she hasn't been available her assistants Stephanie and Emily have been at hand for everything. Overall, outstanding and very much appreciated.

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
