Having had a very bad experience with a Will writing service I was a little nervous about re-arranging my affairs with a new company. However, Andrea was kind, patient and completely reassuring and I’m so pleased I contacted an actual Solicitor to address such important matters. I highly recommend

I have used Fisher Jones Greenwood for a number of years. They were so professional, kind, and helpful when I sold and bought my new property, also when I contacted them to do my Wills over the years, and now I am using them for Power of Attorney.

Fantastic Service

I would just like to thank Andrea Godfrey and the team at FJG for handling my mother’s estate. As an expat working abroad and this unable to travel during that period, Andrea’s commitment, patience and attention to detail proved invaluable.

I would like to Thank Andrea Godfrey & Emily Hurrell for all the help I received in making my Will, as this was something I had not done before I had no idea what to expect, they helped me through the whole process without a single problem, I was kept informed as to what was happening at every stage & it was all completed very quickly.
They are both very professional, courteous, polite & helpful.
I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks again

I had previously (in 2012) used this firm for conveyancing and was happy with the service. I recently called into the Clacton office for legal advice after I had personally redrafted my Will. I was delighted to be told that it was 'Free Wills Month' and that i could have the entire Will professionally checked, redrafted and produced free of charge. The service I received was exemplary and I would be very happy to use this firm again should I need further legal services.

I used this company back in 1992 and they were very efficient and extremely helpful. As this was my first experience of using a Solicitor, I was very impressed with them.
