Thank you so much for your time on the phone today. I waffled on far too long before getting to my question, and you were very patient with me which I very much appreciated.

Thorough and patient

Feakes and Co were terrific for the writing of our wills. We initially had a zoom videocall with the Principal Michael, and received draft wills with detailed explanatory notes. There were a couple of things we wanted to understand more fully so we then met with Michael direct at the Feakes & Co offices. We now have our final wills and have been very happy with the service and cost.
We were slow to reply/progress on occasions and the firm were very patient.

Excellent professional legal service

5

I required legal services to enable me to ad some changes to a previous will. My will was slightly out of the ordinary i that my wife is non domiciled in this country so certain different rules and allowances re IHT etc apply.
I had contaced Mr Michael Feakes re these allowances etc previously and was impressed with important information he passed on to me that other solicitors seemed uninformed about. That's why I chose Freaks when I was ready to redraft my will.
I was very pleased with all aspects of the process. Michael Freaks is very knowlegable and offered well thought out advice. Everything was handled in a very friendly and professional way. In conclusoon I felt happy and contented that my last wishes had been correctly committed to my Will.

A Most Professional Operation

I wanted to replace a previous will that had become outdated. An appointment was quickly made and a meeting with Michael Feakes arranged. The will was prepared, agreed and signed. The process was straight forward and handled, face to face where appropriate, in a most professional and friendly manner.
As a consequence, I am asking them to handle a separate property matter for me.
Nice people to work with. I shall continue to ask them to deal with my affairs.

Fast and efficient. Helpful.
Cost more than I expected but probably not any more than other law firms.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Feakes of Feakes & Co Solicitors for some legal assistance and to say we couldn't be more impressed would be an understatement.

Michael's calm manner, professionalism and fast response stood out from the moment we got in touch. He took the time to understand the specifics of our legal case, approaching it with real empathy and care which made a somewhat complicated legal situation so much easier for us to work our way through with less concern.

Michael’s expertise and attention to detail ensured our issue was resolved quickly and efficiently, exceeding our expectations. On top of that, his charges for legal services were very affordable, offering exceptional value without compromising quality.

We certainly would recommend Michael and his team at Feakes & Co to anyone in need of a solicitor who truly puts their clients first and at a sensible and fair rate.
