If You Need 5 Star Solicitor - Look no Further!
We were recommended to use D&G. From the first minutes with Alison, to beyond signing of our new Wills, she spoke in English and not 'legalese'. All our questions were answered and in a manner that was extremely friendly, but very professional and in words and meanings that we both understood.
I can only heap praise on Alison and her team.

I am in my eighties and have had numerous connections with past Soilicitors, some who have been schoolboy pals into right through my adulthood, it is with great pleasure that I found with Downie & Gadban the best of all previous experiences. I would add that Alison Courteny who dealt with my case
was exceptional in her handling of my confusion at times due to the very recent loss of my dearest wife of 60 years. Alison showed empathy, patience and full understanding of my emotional state , never losing her professionalism she managed to convey a warmth of personality that helped me cope with, in particular, legal jargon. Thank you Alison, I very much appreciated your help and understanding.

Excellent service
Alison was superb providing support and guidance producing a set of mirror wills for my partner and I. Really clear instructions and quick responses. All conducted remotely too, which saved time and travel costs. I highly recommend and will certainly use D&G's services again if required.
