Review of Chris Kelly's help with Will

Chris was clear, concise, welcoming and informative. He took time to understand our position and give full advice on various aspects of our enquiry including issues that we may not have been aware of. Documents were prepared quickly and faultlessly. He met all of our needs.

I needed some help with a simple legal matter. Leonard Grey were able to tell me exactly what I needed to do and provide me with an appointment at short notice to complete the matter. Jenna James was professional and friendly and sorted everything within one appointment.

Will and legal advice

We recently made our wills as a just in case anything should happen. And they did a lovely job understanding our needs and advising on all the legal and financial side of things for those left behind. Will definitely use them again for any other matters we may need them for.

My honest opinion

Jenna James put us at ease and accepted that our needs in making /understanding wills would need a lot of guidance. Jenna explained the whole process ensuring that we had understood and answered any questions with patience. We explained our requirements to be included and with guidance produced draft wills which once tweaked produced our now current wills. Jenna impressed with her knowledge and patience.
