Initial contact disappointing but my first face to face meeting with Sophie and Layla was reassuring and totally satisfactory; they were both understanding, supportive and totally professional. I have been extremely satisfied with all contact with them both.

My wife and I recently updated our wills, which we had previously drafted with Tozers in Exeter in 2019. As our previous solicitor has since retired, this was our first time meeting Sophie-Dominique. We highly recommend Sophie-Dominique for individuals seeking to draft their first will or update their existing one. Her professionalism, knowledge of the law, friendly demeanour, and remarkable sense of humour make her an exceptional choice. Having worked with various Exeter solicitor firms for family matters over the years, we find Tozers, particularly Sophie-Dominique, to be a refreshing departure from the rigid and formal approach of some other firms. Sophie-Dominique was a pleasure to work with, and we will be recommending her to others.

We were very pleased with the service received - the leaflet providing the different levels of service offered depending on the complexity of the will was a really useful starting point and from that we quickly knew the cost of the service we need and then were pointed in the right direction of who to speak to. The service was friendly, efficient and professional. Sophie-Dominique was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Process was very quick and clear from start to finish.

Making my will and other matters

3

Although my original appointment with Emma McAdam was fine, after that there was no consistency of personnel. An appointment was made for me with Sophie-Dominique (who I have never met) to sign my will. I was told at the last minute that she was otherwise occupied. I was seen by Maxine and Jack. This was frustrating as I had a couple of questions I wished to raise. Maxine was not in a position to give advice but Jack was helpful. I would have felt much happier seeing the same person on each occasion as consistency is key to a good solicitor/client relationship. I had to request that a copy of my will be sent to me as the original is stored at Tozers office in Teignmouth. I felt this should have been offered automatically.
