Preparation of wills
Simon Acworth prepared Wills for my wife and I. At all times he was very professional, helpful and courteous. It was a pleasure to meet and work with him. Would recommend to others seeking Will preparation.

My House move this Summer 2023
Moving house can be stressful, thanks to the team at D&G, my house sale and purchase within the Alton area went very smoothly.
I've used D&G before for property moves, and their service remains constant. They provide excellent support and guidance, in a professional manner.
Many thanks

Unprofessional
We needed a notary, and we were initially asked to pay in cash, and to hand over money and witness signatures in the car park. While it is important to be careful in relation to Covid, the measures are over protective, in my opinion, and the thought of paying in cash in a car park is extremely unprofessional. To add to the unprofessionalism, I was referred to as the 'untrusting' person, as I had queried this way of doing business.

We are really sorry to hear that you weren’t happy with the arrangements. We’ve dealt with many number of “drive through” appointments over the past couple of years and have received very positive feedback on the efficiency of the service. We do ask for payment on the day for our notarial appointments because the process is completed there and then but clients are informed of this in advance. We monitor our reviews carefully to enable us to improve our service to our clients and we are grateful to you for your feedback which we have taken on board.
