A first-class service

Our wills were drafted and finalised within a fortnight with the most minute detail being discussed and advised upon in order to simplify matters for our inheritors further down the line... A friendly and professional service all around. Thank you.

Professional, efficient and human.

I have no hesitation in recommending this practise given that a time critical matter was dealt with by a junior solicitor, Edward Kinch, very professionally and swiftly. This work ethic comes from the top down and so I recommend the practise whole heartedly.
