Legal Document Update
A lovely firm to deal with, very pleasant staff who were extremely professional. They listened to my requirements and were very efficient at drawing up a draft copy document for me to check over. Everything was completed and signed very quickly. I would highly recommend this company.

Efficient and Knowledgeable
We’d seen a property that was up for auction and there wasn’t a great amount of time to get everything in order but Sarah and the team were so quick and pro-active to sort out what we needed.
Thank you!

We are really sorry you feel disappointed with the service that you received. Unfortunately we did have an issue when you first supplied us with the information in relation to our matter. However once this had become apparent your file was taken over by the main partner and your application was swiftly sent to the probate office. Unfortunately once an application is submitted we are not allowed to ask for updates from them for 16 weeks and so we were not able to provide you with any updates. Again, I am sorry that you were not happy with the service you were provided with.
