Successful contentious probate dispute
The representation I received from Myerson was absolutely first class in every sense of the word. The care and compassion the team showed me during a very difficult time was more than I could have imagined. Outside of the successful increase in my share of a late relatives will, they ensured the non contentious side of the process went as smooth as possible. Myerson’s quality massively outstrips the fees it charges.
