Friendly, clear and knowledgeable
Our children are grown up and it was time to review our Wills and financial arrangements for when we are older and Alice was able to do everything that we needed and provide advice not just on that, but also on tax issues, which is also a specialism of hers. She was friendly, clear and knowledgeable and produced everything in a timely fashion, keeping us updated of progress. We have already recommended her to a friend.

Many years of relying on you
My father, who died 42 years ago, made his will with your company, which was in Grainger Street. You have the deeds of the house, which was left to me. I am now 95 years of age, and now have my will with you. My father was 98 when he died, so we have many years of relying on you.
