Home to Hertfordshire
Our first house was in Hertfordshire eventually leading to the present, but in the moves we also moved to a large London firm of solicitors. Now retired we have moved the battlelines back to Hertfordshire and are delighted with the help we have received from Longmores with our estate. The experience has encouraged us to move our accounts and book keeping closer to home as well and that also is proving most successful. Tired of London maybe, but not tired of Life

Efficient service offering helpful advice.
I was pleased to meet Richard again when he recently arranged to set up a new discretionary trust. He has a professional approach whilst being able to explain the procedure in a manner that was easy to understand. Apart from covering the legal aspects of the agreement, I also appreciated his advice when options became available.
I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Good advice and great service
From our first meeting with Richard Horwood we realised writing our Wills would not be as complicated as we had anticipated. We heeded the great advice offered and are satisfied that our wishes are fully covered in the final documents. We are confident that Richard and his team will ultimately guide our executor and carry out trustee duties to the highest standard.

Prompt, expert, efficient and good value
I have used Longmores for various areas of need over the last 20 years or so. They have been unfailingly efficient, capable, and very prompt to respond. They are also very reasonably priced in my view for the expertise that they have. I couldn't recommend more highly.
