Excellent service!
Right from the start of the engagement we were given a very high level of service and felt in no way pressured or hurried. The advice and guidance provided was of the highest standard. We would definitely recommend.

Excellent service in connection with wills and LPAs
From beginning to end the team of Clara Staunton and Hannah Owens were first class. They were particularly helpful in our first meeting, progressed our requirements promptly and kept us informed. Completion was in part delayed by dilatoriness on our part and more particularly by the OPG in registering LPAs.

Clara helped me through the process of probate and the settlement of the estate in a very
