Making a Will handled expertly

5

We needed to draft new wills and create a trust following a change of circumstances. Christian Nicholls was very helpful and understanding and gave us thoughtful, comprehensive and clear advice. He was also very well organised and efficient. We were most impressed with his expertise and found the entire process at NBB Law to be first rate.

Fast and friendly

5

My wife and I met with Chris Nicholls to review our wills and related matters. We found him friendly and highly knowledgeable with two new wills explained, produced, signed and witnessed within one hour. We made use of the Cancer Research scheme and duly donated money to them and so reduced our already reasonable bill.

Chris Nicholls - Outstanding Customer Experience and Value for Money

5

This Law Firm was excellent in dealing with my late father's estate. Chris Nicholls and his team were very knowledgeable and guided us through the process well. He made sure that we clearly understood our discussions and followed-up with written communications immediately.
I would thoroughly recommend Nicholls Brimble Bhol to anyone looking for a law firm that provides outstanding customer experience and value for money.

Quick and thorough process to draw up wills

We had wills drawn up in less than two weeks from making initial contact. Christian gave clear, comprehensible and thorough advice on our situation and made the process straightforward and cost-effective. I would happily recommend Nicholls Brimble Bhol to friends.

Will writing/amendment service

Excellent service from both the administration team and the solicitor.
Helpful advice and guidance from the solicitor regarding complex considerations such as the
provision of 'trusts' in the will.

Very impressed with Nicholls Brimble Bhol Solicitors. We used Fiona Neligan recently for Conveyancing and Chris Nicholls for LPA and wills. Both are personable, professional and helped the process go as smooth as possible. Fiona was always available to answer queries and was very patient, with us each step of the way, in what turned out to be a challenging sale enabling our house purchase to come to fruition. Christopher went out of his way to help and ensured we understood the process well. Thank you both for your efficient service.

Thank you Chris for a first class service.
Chris dealt with a couple of matters for me and I can say that he was extremely professional, polite and prompt in replying to my e-mails. I’ve never had to wait to get an answer to my queries whatever the time of the day. He explained everything in details and delivered clear advice on time. I highly recommend his services to anyone wanting a straightforward and efficient solicitor. No unnecessary delays, no frustration, no headache!
Thank you again Chris. It was a pleasure dealing with you.

Myself and my wife recently used Nicholls Brimble to draw up our first will and Lasting Power of Attorney documents. My mother has used them before for her own affairs and was very impressed which is why we chose them.

It was very easy to get through on the phone to arrange an appointment to suit us, and when in the office, we were dealt with by Christian Nicholls who was very welcoming, friendly and efficient.

The whole process went very smoothly and everything was explained clearly and in an easily understandable way. Any questions we had were answered without any issues and everything was dealt with in one appointment. We did have to return once more, but this was due to us wanting to alter things afterwards, and this was no problem or inconvenience at all.

The fees were very reasonable and I would definitely recommend Nicholls Brimble to others - in fact I already have!

Thank you Christian and everyone else for making the whole experience very straightforward and painless.
