Associate & Chartered Legal Executive at Thomson & Bancks Llp

Jemma O'Connor

Associate & Chartered Legal Executive

I joined Thomson & Bancks Solicitors in October 2006 as a Trainee and subsequently graduated from Staffordshire University in June 2011 with my Law Degree. I am now an Associate of the firm and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives. I have worked across all four offices in Stratford-upon-Avon, Pershore, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham so know the local areas well and have strong links with local businesses. I am experienced in the Administration of Estates (both testate and intestate), Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection Applications, Wills, Tax Advice and Vulnerable Client Issues. I am a full member of The Association of Lifetime Lawyers (formerly Solicitors for the Elderly). I am professional yet approachable and my sensitive style is reflected in my excellent client satisfaction record. My client’s needs are of paramount importance and I strive to make, sometimes, difficult issues as easy as possible. I am a country girl at heart and, when not in the office, I love nothing more than spending time with my husband, our two young children and our whippets in and around our home in the Cotswolds.

Efficient and friendly.

Having recently married we needed to update our wills.
We were dealt with efficiently, professionally and in a very friendly manner.
We would recommend them and we will, if required, be using them again.

I was put at ease by Jemma who showed both professionalism and care for my feelings.

Clear, swift and friendly service.

Thomson and Bancks were recommended to me by a friend. I approached them to draft and finalise a Will for me - and I can't fault the service. Jemma has been so patient, clear and friendly; the process has been very easy; and I felt that my circumstances and requests were very much considered and met throughout. I was also very grateful for how clearly the cost of the service was set out for me; there were no hidden surprises. All in all, I'm a very happy client.

New Will

Everything was explained in a simple way, very efficient.

A few corrections needed in the draft which related to a persons name, changed correctly.

Easy communication throughout.

After the death of my Mother, we had a very log and fairly complicated Estate to sort out. The solicitor I dealt with (Jemma O'Connor) was superb. She was very happy to give advice either by email or on the phone and worked hard to liaise with all of the necessary parties involved. I have nothing but praise for Thomson Bancks.
