Professional advice and support re LPAs
Rebecca Haywood provided very clear, understandable and jargon-free information and advice. She was highly professional, yet friendly, in her dealings with us and endeavoured to ensure we were fully aware at all stages. She handled our queries well explaining in laymen's terms aspects of the process which might otherwise been confusing to us.

Always given brilliant service
I have used most of all the lovely lady solicitors here for quite a few years now.
All the staff, inclusive of the reception are always welcoming & friendly, be this on the phone, in person or via emails. Very professional at all times, the only ones I trust. After having bad experiences at other solicitors in Eastbourne, these have always been thoughtful & kind.
Highly recommended

Wills and LPAs
Finding it hard to retain information because of the situation I found myself in, Rebecca couldn't have been kinder, more patient and understanding. She explained what was needed in easy to understand lanuage.
She responded quickly to any queries and made my first dealings with a solicitor a comfortable experience.
