A truly positive experience
I had the pleasure of working with Clare and was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism, friendly approach, and the sensible advice she provided. She was always approachable and took the time to explain everything in a straightforward manner. Clare responded promptly to all my queries, ensuring I was never left waiting. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and will certainly use her expertise again in the future.

Updating of Will
Hansells have been my solicitors for many years. Clare has been my contact over the past few years and understands the complexities that often occur with wills in 2nd marriages and the family history. Clare has always explained fully all the issues that might arise and been honest and professional with her advice.Clare responds promptly and I always feel that although she is a true professional she is also kind and understanding, that's not always an easy balance to have but she manages it well.All of the staff at my local office are welcoming. As I go forward with my new will I am confident that I have done my best for my family, that's down to Clare and the service she has provided.

Smooth informative process
Clare was very helpful throughout the process of sorting out our Father's estate. We were kept informed as and when we needed to be and both Clare and Annmarie were contactable and responsive if we had any queries along the way.

Very pleased with the service
We were very pleased with how it went and if we need to come back it would be a booking to you. I have also told the executors to book to see you if they needed to. I will always be pleased to recommend you and the company.

Thank You
I had been putting off making a Will for years for various personal reasons and I was still very apprehensive when I made an appointment to see Clare at Hansells Solicitors. However, I should not have worried as from our very first meeting Clare was calm, kind and understanding, she took great care in helping me write my Will and I felt that I could speak to her in confidence. It was actually a very simple process and Clare explained that I can add notes to be kept with my Will in the future. I feel relieved and happy that something I dreaded doing is now done and it wasn’t scary at all. Clare also helped making LPA’s and they are now being registered. Another very important job now ticked off.
My grateful thanks to Annmarie also as she showed kindness and understanding when I wanted to change something in both my Will and the LPA’s, I hope I wasn’t a nuisance and you were always patient. You gave me confidence in changing a couple of details. I cannot praise or thank Clare and Annmarie enough. I feel that I can approach them anytime in the future without worry. Peace of mind.
