Estate of the late Mrs Janet Peck

4

We found Harriet competent and professional in her approach. She was very helpful and gave sound advice to the questions we raised and responded quickly to any concerns we had. Harriet was sympathic and understanding regarding our mother's estate and we appreciated all her hard work to bring the estate to a close. There were a few minor mistakes initially in name spelling and figures but these were corrected straight away once we informed Harriet. We feel Harriet did a fantastic job and we were very pleased with her work.

Handling of my uncle Tom's estate

4

Harriet and her colleagues were efficient, friendly and responsive throughout the process.

There were times when I thought they could have been more proactive in keeping me informed. There were a number of times when I felt compelled to contact them for an update.

Other than that, though, first rate. Thank you!

Harriet and the team were fantastic thoughout, listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve and then advised me in the best way to achieve it, explaining costs, advantages and disadvantages of each stage as we went.

Harriet prepared mine and my wife's wills.
Everything was explained in detail and was easy to understand.
We would highly recommend Harriet, having used her and Ashtons Legal for a number of years.
