Timely responses from this solicitor. They also dealt very sympathetically with the delays I caused due to my cancer treatment.

First class firm. Best solicitors I have ever used. I have used Warner Goodman for 3 distinctly different legal matters now and each department has been brilliant.

Everybody was very supportive and they dealt with all the tax issues and financial aspects of the Will. I was kept informed on a regular basis - giving me peace of mind at a time when I was feeling very vulnerable.

Caroline was excellent and made what was for us a difficult situation so much easier. We have recommended Caroline to friends previously and they have gone out of their way to tell us how good she is.

We recently drew up our Wills. Caroline was very helpful, explaining everything, making it easy to set them up. Would highly recommend.

My Mum is 91, disabled and on her own so I thought obtaining a Power of Attorney would be a sensible idea. The solicitor, Caroline, took on board the situation quickly and offered to have all appointments at my Mum's home so she felt relaxed and comfortable to answer all her questions. What could have been a stressful appointment turned out to be professional yet informal with the desired outcome.
