Legal Support with NHS and Social Services

At a very problematic time for our family following a serious accident to our mother and a difficult and frustrating time with both the NHS administration and Social Services we contacted Palmers.
From day one of our contact with Donna Smy of Palmers Law, we felt for the first time that someone was listening to us and that we could see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Donna was patient, listened to our concerns and provided a range of options on the way forward.
Donna always responded rapidly to any of our communication, both by phone and email.
Donna worked hard to get a fair result for both our mother and our family.
Thank you Donna.

Excellent Probate Service

Ms Boorman took great care of us as we went through the probate process. She advised us where it would be cheaper and easier for us to action items and she explained all aspects of the process clearly and concisely.

She ensured we benefitted from all available allowances and it was very simple to complete probate. Very glad we used Palmers for this service.

Palmers are great Lorna has battled through all the HMRC changes to get things moving for us. The process is detailed and Lorna has explained every step. Thank you.
However I feel I should be reviewing their awful landlord who shows no respect for disabled access. The lift has not worked reliably in all the time we have dealt with them over the past three months. This resulted in having to sign legal papers in the poor conditions of a cramped lobby area. The threshold to the door did not give access for my mobility scooter do we had to lift this in and out. I feel confident that as a law company Palmers will take action now against their disrespectful landlord as they have clear evidence of the problem he has caused.
