When looking for a solicitor to complete my will i was advised that Louise Axford at George Green LLP was the best. How right they were from my initial enquiry. Louise dealt with my business in a very professional and most importantly prompt manner. I would have no reservation in recommending her and the practice.

George Green LLP Solicitors - Review

My wife used the firm to handle the will and estate of my father-in-law.
This was handled by Louise Axford, partner, and I can only say that her work and service in every respect was accurate and clear and above all extremely efficient. Fees also very reasonable.

Very satisfied - thank you

I had a complicated family protection trust situation as a result of my original solicitor going into administration. Thousands of clients had been left with a legal nightmare - even raised as a debate in Scottish parliament. Many others reported paying huge sums and getting into further difficulty with new solicitors who were unfamiliar with trusts. My case was resolved very effectively and reasonably.

The whole sad process of dealing with the estate of our friend was handled very sympathetically by Louise Axford and on the property side by Caroline Pain.
The communication on both aspects was excellent. We would recommend their company to anyone.
Many thanks to you!
