Our experience with Rafia Faruk.

Even though Rafia was a trainee she was very competent and knowledgable.
P.S. I abhor doing revues.

So helpful, and patient

5

Rafia was really helpful and patient with my elderly father in law. She guided him through the whole process really nicely.
Rafia was also able to point us in the right direction of other work when we needed it.
The experience for us was one that was pleasant at what can be a very daunting time.
We would highly recommend Clough & Willis and would recommend Rafia.

Patient and thorough approach

We wanted to update our wills and they were drafted to exactly reflect what we wanted. There were some complicating features that were handled patiently and thoroughly. At all times we had the sort of personal and prompt attention that gave us confidence and peace of mind.
