Friendly and professional service from Clare Eastwood at the Moordown office. She helped with the administration of my late mother’s estate, a deed of variation to the will, my own will and Lasting Power of Attorney. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommended and professional solicitors. They have different branches specialising in different areas of the Law. They saved me an enormous amount of money on probate, purely as they know what they are doing. Highly recommended.

If you're looking for Aldridge Brownlee to set up an Enduring Power of Attorney to ease the burden and ensure local support for a family member don't go anywhere near this firm. They will tell you how professional they are and it's no trouble, but over the course of almost eighteen months I finally got the EPO set up, but they couldn't even get a bank account set up over the course of 4 months. They didn't even manage it by the time the person whom it was supposed to benefit passed away. I provided them with £500 to open the account and upon advising them it was no longer needed they kindly sent me a bill for...£500! So £500 for complete incompetence. Steer well clear
