The Receptionist/telephonist was very personable and knowledgeable of the firm's structure and made the appointment. The solicitor who dealt with my matter was very friendly and give me good advice. The matter was concluded in good time and in a separate note, the Receptionist assisted in locating staff to witness the Will. I thank her for that.

Probate
Efficient and professional service.
I asked Risdons Solicitors to assist me in obtaining Letters of Administration, following the sudden death of my partner. The way I was guided through the process was a significant and reassuring help to me, at a very difficult time.

Absolute 'trust' in the work they do. I and my late husband have been clients to Risdon Hosegood Solicitors for a good number of years. They are my Executors and have the Power of Attorney for my finances and wellbeing. They are very professional and honest, equally all the staff involved.
