Anthony's second Fire Star Review

5

All my services with Wollens has been satisfactorily, efficiently and pleasantly completed with no meetings or on line contact. It has all had to be remotely done. Solicitors Mrs Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett handled my previous Will, and with Solicitor Jaime Denega and secretary Jodie Neish were involved in completing my part of a Discretionary Trust.

Solicitor Mrs Karen Miller and sectary Julie MacManus handled my Will Review. Everyone has been friendly, sympathetic and considerate in dealing with my instructions and questions. Wollens has been most understanding throughout and is highly recommended.

Mine was a very lengthy and complicated case involving deputy ship for my Father's financial affairs, and Probate following my Father's death. Costs were high, as they always are with solicitors, but the service by Alex Jenkins and Edward Lee of Wollens, who dealt with my Father's affairs, was very personal and much needed at a very traumatic time.

Anthony's five star review

5

My will was all done remotely by phone, notes, letters due to the distance involved - about 145 miles, general health and Covid restrictions.
More recently I had a serious illness with loss of driving license and other lasting problems but I have been very lucky with the outcome. What seemed difficult was much easier with the help I was given. Excellent service. Solicitor Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett have been friendly, considerate, shown knowledge in an understanding way throughout preparing my will - and I have never met them.
Wollens is highly recommended.

Will review and update

Fewer companies could shop the professionalism and the dignity which was required for the subject of the Will review and update.

From the first contact to the last Alex was professional, sympathetic and helpful in dealing with the Probate process of my late mother. I have no qualms in recommending her services.
