Power of Attorney
All the team were very caring and approachable at a time support was needed. We were taken through both the Health and Welfare and Property and Financial Affairs paperwork. This was done in a very structured and clear manner avoiding any ambiguity. Thank you so much for your patience and professional approach, it has been much appreciated.

Mr Tom Couch: Solicitor
From our initial enquiry to completion our experience with Biscoes Solicitors was to a standard rarely seen these days. The staff welcomed my wife and myself with a genuine smile and an offer of light refreshments while we waited for our appointment. Unlike our experiences with others, we were not waiting too long. Mr Tom Couch listened patiently to our requirements. Following his suggestions (in plain language) we agreed and proceeded with the drawing up of our new Wills. A comforting experience.
