Alsters Kelley - Wills and LPA's

5

Having experienced very poor service with another legal firm, we met Neil R of Alsters Kelley. The contrast was enormous. He was immediately engaged and engaging and undertook a lot of work in advising us. Meetings were documented to excellent detail and advice was very clear. Any queries were dealt with extremely promptly. I was able to register my clear views and an advanced Recitation to refuse treatment was made without difficulty after excellent discussions in person. A financial advisor of ours was very impressed by Neil's knowledge which was, by then,, not be unexpected. Honestly 10/10.

Neil Raiseborough and Stefan Hunka were very helpful from start to finish with re-writing our wills, especially appreciated during these times. Always courteous and professional. Rates are reasonable too.

I have been very happy with this company sorting out a complicated inheritance. Neil Raiseborough was available throughout the process and everything has been solved to my total satisfaction. A property matter was also included and Joanne Herbert looked after the matter well. My experience in both fields with the company has been excellent.

Neil was really helpful and gave sound advice. It's not easy, or pleasant, when you are in good health to consider eventualities should you become incapacitated or die! It is really important though, and having sorted out the estates for a few family members, one of which was very chaotic and stressful, I do know the difference between well planned and no thought being given whatsoever. My will and LPAs are not for me, they are to make things easier for my children, therefore I waned to make sure it was done properly.

Thanks to Neil, and his many answers to my (sometimes off the wall) questions, I'm now as confident as I can be that I have all bases covered.

I have received advice from Alsters Kelley over a range of areas from writing my own Will, releasing money held by a French bank to tenancy issues on a let property in London. In all I have found them to be approachable, swift to respond and supportive. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have used the services of Alsters Kelley for around 20 years. This has covered several departments, but my key contact has always been Neil Raiseborough. I have found Neil to be both highly professional in his approach and, in the case of my elderly mother, very caring and empathic.

There's nothing like threat of a deadly virus to motivate an update of our wills!. Neil Raiseborough responded promptly to our phone call and a stream of emails with his professional advice, explanations, drafts, amendments to final documents quickly followed. No fuss, friendly help, no physical contacts...unfortunately, but re-assuring!

I wholeheartedly recommend Neil Raiseborough and the team at Alsters Kelley, and can't thank them enough for the expert assistance they provided in managing a complicated probate process for both of my parents.
Their professional, prompt, and no fuss attitude, combined with an ability to keep things simple, personal and warm, made a difficult time much less stressful.
