We recently used the services of Richard Reed Solicitors to help us write a new will and to avail ourselves of their expertise in the creation of Lasting Power of Attorney. We found to our delight that the experience was one of reassurance and complete confidence in the execution of this task.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to them and in particular Mr. Jonny Cockayne for his pleasant manner and swift conclusion to these matters.
We would have no hesitation recommending Richard Reed to anyone seeking legal assistance.
