Wace Morgan have always helped in a clear ad sound advisory capacity. This has made me, as a client, feel confident and able to go over in areas I have not fully understood with the legal team. I commend their patience when dealing with an older client.

A few years ago my family used Fiona Barnes to help with Probate matters after my Mother passed away. Recently a related matter cropped up which was dealt with quickly. It's a pleasure working with Fiona who explains issues so they are clearly understood Great VFM
