Lasting Powers of Attorney
I was fully supported by Ellisons throughout the process of LPAs. The solicitor was approachable professional and carefully explained all aspects of the process.

Lasting Powers of Attorney
Rachel Dawson who handled this for both me and my wife was at all ties friendly and professional. She was careful to discuss outcomes and helped with decision making but without leading unduly. I cannot comment too much on costs but Ellisons seem similar to other solicitors as far as I know.

Drafting Will & Powers of Attorney
What could be challenging tasks were made easy by the solicitor I saw at Ellisons. She was knowledgeable, patient with my enquiries, explained in both legal and everyday terminology and made me feel comfortable.

L.P.A
Having been recently widowed and still grieving, this was another difficult situation to confront. However, my first meeting with solicitor eased the situation and I knew it was the sensible thing to do.

Vulnerable Persons Trust
I had no understanding about this trust and what to do, but Rachel was amazing and explained it in simple language that I understood. She took her time with me and put me at ease. So grateful for all she has done.
