Superb service

I recently required the services of a solicitor. Having dealt with W and AS Bruce before with house purchases, I had no hesitation in contacting them for assistance. The entire process was seamless and I was fully appraised of what was happening throughout the process. They made what could have been a difficult situation, very straightforward for myself and my now ex-wife.
Helen Gibb and Selina Mackay are an absolute credit to the firm and I would have no hesitation in seeking their help again.

Great service...!

My elderly parents wanted their Family Trust moved to a firm closer to home and Anna Hills was happy to do the work. She also reviewed the Trust, as well as making changes to their wills that my parents had requested. From our initial meeting with Anna, she inspired confidence and professionalism, which combined with her friendly manner, made for an all-round positive experience.
Everything was completed in good time and I found the cost for all the work to be very reasonable.
My wife and I are thinking about setting up a Family Trust and updating our wills in the near future. It will definitely be Anna we'll be contacting to do the work.

We contacted W&AS Bruce for assistance and legal advice. At first Anna Hills and subsequently Selena Mackay were both extremely supportive, friendly, and provided excellent service. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
