Being aged we were a little apprehensive entering the world of official forms and legalities. But, your provider was brilliant, talked us through every stage and made sure we understood all that was conveyed to us. She was brilliant. We cannot thank you enough!

I had a will drawn up through the Will Aid scheme. Brilliant service and quick turn around. Even though Rutters did it for 'free' it felt like they still treated me as they would anyone else. Can't recommend them enough and will definitely use them the next time I need a solicitor. Natasha herself was excellent. Thank you.
