We have worked well with Bright Solicitors with many business and personal aspects over many years. Their advice and knowledge has always been outstanding and we have been treated with respect and made to feel at ease. All staff have a happy and relaxed approach and treat you warmly in person and on the telephone, I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Carly - Excellent 👍

Carly took charge of helping me sort my will, made the process easy and overall a pleasurable experience, open and honest conversation.

Expected it to be a difficult process but she took charge and helped give the best impartial advice and helped sort everything.

Excellent service for Wills & POA

All the staff we encountered were professional and personable. Our solicitor however was absolutely brilliant at explaining the Will process and possible problems we needed to look at. We are very happy with the end result.

Marjorie Creek and Carly Jeffery - Kitsons Solicitors, Plymouth

For the past 16 months our family having been dealing with a very complicated and stressful matter concerning power of attorney and probate issues. I cannot speak highly enough of the support, assistance and help that both Marjorie and Carly have given our family. They have been extremely professional and caring in their support to us. I can say without doubt that without their help this whole episode would have been impossible to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Marjorie and Carly for any legal work that needs to be undertaken by solicitors. They have kept us informed at all times and their knowledge and support cannot be underestimated. In particular thank you Marjorie for all your help re power of attorney and OPG issues and Carly re probate.

I found it quite hard to put into words what we’d like to do regarding our wills but Carly knew exactly what I was trying to explain and was able to piece together, all the aspects of our wishes quite easily.

My wife and I have been very impressed by the team at Bright Solicitors who have demonstrated excellent service and regular communication to achieve a sale.
Katie Braithwaite and her colleague Victoria Witts have dealt with the conveyancing in a very professional and caring manner and Carly Jeffery was always on hand when she was required.
Would not hesitate to recommend Bright Solicitors.
