Producing my Will
I have found Matt highly efficient, thoroughly professional and technically excellent. Although my will was not complicated, there were some technical issues that I wished to discuss and I found his advice extremely helpful. I used to run an international law firm in London and he easily meets the standards one would expect to see there.
