Sophie is an outstanding solicitor , so much so I have moved my and may families business from other practices as Sophie's career has progressed.

My will
After talking with a financial advisor, I was told to make a will as soon as possible. I arranged to have an appointment with Sophie from Beswicks. The whole experience was so easy (I wished I had done this before), and not too expensive. After asking me about my wishes, Sophie described everything in great detail...very professional and a really pleasant experience...really happy, I fully recommend Beswicks Legal.

Will preparation
I met Sophie for the preparation and completion of my will. Sophie was extremely pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. She also explained the importance of having a power of attorney in place and there was no pressure to use Beswicks' services.
I would highly recommend Beswicks to anyone and recently my sister has been to sort her will on my recommendation.
