First Class Service

It was a pleasure to deal with Lyons Bowe and in particular Lauren Downs. They provided professional and clear advice under the scheme Will Aid, and made the entire process extremely easy. The case was handled with fantastic communication throughout and all responses were made in an efficient and timely manner I would definitely recommend Lyons Bowe for their friendly and refreshing approach to legal matters.

Great Service – Highly Recommend!

5

I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors for their will-writing service through the Will Aid initiative, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring that my wishes were accurately reflected in my will.
Not only did they provide an outstanding legal service, but their participation in the Will Aid initiative also showed their commitment to giving back to the community—a fantastic bonus! Their friendly and approachable manner made what could have been a daunting process feel effortless.
I highly recommend Lyons Bowe Solicitors to anyone looking for expert legal guidance with a personal touch. Thank you for your excellent service!

Fantastic guidance - professional and friendly

I had a will drawn up and Lauren was attentive to my requirements, very professional (including seeking advice from a senior partner when required) but also very friendly and down-to-earth. A great combo. Thank you!

Will

5

I had decided it was time to sort out my will. I had a teams meeting to discuss the various options and my will was drafted. This was sent with an explanation letter as there are many unfamiliar terms to understand.
When I had further questions these were answered promptly so I could finalise what I wanted.
I have been kept informed at each step and found them to be very helpful.

Updated Wills

5

We've had a bad experience with a company that specialised in will writing. We wanted nothing more to do with them and we were left out of pocket. We then heard about will aid & discovered that Lyons Bowe were participants. They have been fantastic and we are now relieved to have our Wills updated to reflect our current family position.

Efficient and easy to complete our mirror wills

Lauren dealt with creating simple mirror wills for myself and my husband and she made the whole process very easy and stress-free for us. Would definitely use Lyon Bowes and/or Lauren Downs for any legal work in future.
