Making a Will

5

I found the whole process easy, just a bit more expensive than I expected.
On the whole I suppose it's quality of service that counts.

Resolution of a family trust.

5

Felicity and her colleagues handled a tricky situation with the resolution of a family trust with sensitivity, efficiency and compassion. The matter was managed from engagement to completion in a commendably short time frame and communication was clear and concise throughout.
Samuel Phillips also handled the sale of a property as a precursor to the above and Helen managed that in a similar manner. I would highly recommend this firm.

Samuel Philips First Class Service

5

As a supporter of St Oswald's Hospice, I approached them to recommend a solicitor for us, as our circumstances had changed. St Oswald's were more than happy to help and recommended Samuel Phillips Law. We had a wonderful response from them and a home visit was quickly arranged for us, as my husband has mobility issues. We were introduced to Felicity Nelson who was approachable and friendly, with straightforward clear advice, she was a pleasure to work with. Samuel Phillips were excellent from start to finish and we could not recommend them highly enough.

Satisfied customer

5

I needed to up date my existing Will, but my previous Solicitors were unhelpful, so my family suggested I approach Samuel Phillips Law Firm, who currently act on behalf of my parents and used to act as my late Grandfather's solicitors. When I first contacted Samuel Phillips by telephone I was immediately impressed by the friendly and professional person who took my call. From there I was given able and professional assistance by my new solicitor, Felicity Nelson, and I am satisfied with my updated Will.

Administration of my late Wife's Estate

5

Following the death of my Wife, I required a very good Solicitor to prepare my new Will, obtain Grant of Probate in my late Wife's Estate and to administer the Estate on my behalf. I was introduced to Felicity Nelson who prepared my new Will and obtained Grant of Probate extremely quickly. Subsequently, Felicity administered the Estate promptly and brought it to a satisfactory conclusion. Felicity was polite and courteous throughout and any telephone calls, emails and correspondence were dealt with quickly and efficiently. I thank you, Felicity, for all of your efforts to make things easier for me at this difficult time.
