Lorna Greening dealt with our case. She was easy to contact, responded quickly to emails and went out of her way to make the process as easy as possible including coming to our local Lodge Bros office and working well beyond normal office hours.

Managing my father's estate after he passed

This review is for a different branch.

The experience that Lodge Brother's Legal Services provided was excellent. I couldn't fault them at any stage of the journey, considering how difficult it is when dealing with the passing of someone so close.

They couldn't be more helpful. They supported us through the journey, providing the right level of support as and when required.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

This review is for a different branch.

I have used Lodge Brothers for both funerals and settling probate. Myself and my wife decided it was time to update our wills. The solicitor dealing with us was very helpful, patient and professional. Our questions were answered clearly and we were given sound advice throughout our dealings with the solicitor. Our wills have now been rewritten and we now have peace of mind. We were very satisfied with our dealings and service received from Lodge Brothers Legal Services. Since my first dealings with Lodge Brothers I have been treated with respect and empathy throughout. I can thoroughly recommend Lodge Brothers Funeral and Legal Services I will not hesitate to use them again.

Kind and Attentive

This review is for a different branch.

Suffering a bereavement is a very stressful experience, especially if it is a parent who has died.
Lodge Brothers Legal Services were there for us at every stage and guided our Probate through with no fuss, and went beyond their brief to make sure i knew the next steps in the process.
My family and I are full of praise for our personal solicitor and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Extremely good service. Professional advice and considerate caring attitude. Made a difficult time easier to cope with. No way could we have sorted out everything ourselves.
Would recommend highly.
