A Simple Will
I thought that Helen Firth, who dealt with my daughter Alison's Will, handled everything in not simply an excellent way, but far more importantly, showed great empathy, considering Alison's awful illness. Helen is obviously a very kind and lovely woman, and a great credit to Gepp. If I was the MD of my own legal firm, I would employ Helen without hesitation, and make sure she was very well rewarded.

Excellent service
Both Helen and her assistant helped us get power of attorney in difficult circumstances and then with problems with probate. They were sensitive and highly efficient, so we are extremely grateful and impressed.

Professional & reliable service
We went to Helen to write a will for us. We required somebody with empathy and understanding and would write a will in such a way that it would help us ensure that the needs of our children were organised and in place. Helen completed this for us in a professional and amazing manner. Explained all the terminology to us, and we would highly recommend Helen and her associates for any legal services. She helped us put our mind at rest.

Wills
Helen Firth has help my husband and myself set up our wills. Seen as we hadn’t even thought of it ourselves, Helen made the experience very easy to deal with and always with a friendly approach. After moving and getting married my alterations were changed so conveniently.
