Chloe and Lauren dealt with this application as quickly as they could and with good communication. This is the second time we have used Chloe and will continue to recommend Frettons for their great service

Lauren Smallwood prepared wills for myself and my wife, and we were extremely happy with the attention we received.

Lauren showed great patience during our meetings when we needed layman's explanations, and we feel confident that the advice we have been given is exactly what we needed.

Lauren was a pleasure to work with.

They gave me all the information I needed and due to my disability they were happy to come to my flat to get my Will sorted out. Would thoroughly recommend them.
