Sue made creating our will straightforward and stress free. She was professional, clear, and patient, answering all our questions and helping us think through important details. The process was quick and efficient, and we now feel much more at ease. Highly recommend!

Helpful, efficient and kindly. My husband's affairs were complicated and I could not have coped with achieving probate by myself.

I found the service provided scrupulous and effective. I was able to rely on Sue and her team to sort out the financial situation and this made dealing with both the grief at the loss of my husband and the practical problems that resulted for being alone easier.

My partner and I needed to update our Wills and establish LPOA’s. Sue Halfyard is approachable, relaxed and very knowledgeable. We feel reassured that all our wishes have been appropriately considered and applied.

Over the three years duration, three members of staff were involved in the estate administration and each brought something different. All were efficient, with some more communicative and friendly than others. An improvement would be not to make the assumption that the client knows what happens next or what is needed. All in all a positive experience.

Sue Halfyard from the private client team assisted with my late father's probate. Sue was everything you would expect from a quality law firm, professional and proficient with a personal touch. I would not hesitate in recommending Sue and her team if you need guidance through what can be a very emotional and stressful time.
