Probate plus
Alison Courtney our Solicitor was extremely efficient in solving problems quickly. We were always able to get in touch with her by phone and she never left a message unanswered but speedily replied the same day.
I would not have any reservations on using her again.
Thank you Alison, you were amazing. 😊

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.
