EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS

5

Following a recent poor experience with solicitors I was recommended to BSG Solicitors in Lancaster. I was delighted following the initial meeting with Rebecca Lauder who immediately put me at ease by her competence and integrity. The issues were dealt with in a clear & proficient manner and the outcome excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services on any legal matters.

We'd never used BSG before but found Rebecca friendly, professional and helpful. We were entirely satisfied, and really delighted, with the service we received. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca and BSG to others.

We can't fault Rebecca Lauder for the service she provided. She was friendly, kind and clear in her explanations and dealt with the matter very efficiently. Email responses very quick.

Revising a Will

5

Because of a change in family circumstances, I wished to revise my will. A very helpful conversation with Rebecca Lauder clairified both my ideas about the changes proposed and about the best way of incorporating them in new will. A few days later a revised will arrived, and careful reading established that all my proposed changes were there and it reflected accurately both my present situation and my wishes in respet of the new elements to be included. Throughout the process Rebecca put me at ease, explained any issues that might not have been immediately clear and helped me through what can be a difficult situation to consider and to get through. Her professoinal knowledge and easy manner were a truly winning combination.

Updating our wills and setting up Legal Power of Attorney

5

Whilst setting up the wills was a fairly straightforward the process. Legal Power of Attnorney was much more time consuming and difficult for us. Rebecca was exctremely helpful throughout explaining everything and dealing withs us in a friendly and often amuzing manner. It was all much more difficult than we antiipated and couldn't have found our way through it all without the patience of the solicitor.
