Graeme Parkinson was an amazing lawyer and always kept me informed throughout the process. He had a friendly approach which made the situation feel a lot less daunting whilst still being very professional and informative. Sam hinds was also great and carried a very similar approach. Couldn’t be more grateful!

Bradley Hayes is an absolute credit and asset to this firm. His demeanour, knowledge, communication and approachable personality is what a good solicitor must have to gain the trust and confidence of a client like me who was in a dark and stressful situatuin. An absolutely class act.

Not impressed with these. They charge for even a telephone conversation. Heard very little on updates on my dad's will and I'm the executive. If you want a expensive solicitor and get ripped off go with these. I've had more free advice from Farley and there not even dealing with it at no cost.
