Timely Transaction
Duncan was very personable and helpful throughout. He responded to emails quickly and explained everything clearly. He produced our wills within the suggested time frame. My husband and I will be happy to consult him in future.

Fantastic and patient service
I worked with Duncan to have a Will drafted, and during this process I had a fairly major operation and then forgot to go back and complete the process for a long time. Duncan was extremely patient, and the end to end initial meetings through to finalising was very easy for me as a customer.
I would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent service.
I an of the age to get a will, having said that, it is never to early to get a will sorted written. I was given the companies name and contact details. I duly contacted them and had excellent service, when visiting the office or by phone/email.
