Efficient service

Reception staff were helpful. Judith was knowledgeable, helpful and explained everything in basic detail so it was easy to understand. I had some worry that the conversations would be in 'solicitor' language but I was put at ease and understood everything. No hidden costs, Wills arrived promptly and sound advice was provided on probate.

A representative from Russell & Russell Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 29 November, 2024:

Thank you for your positive feedback, Alison. We're glad Judith and the Wills team were able to explain everything clearly and put your mind at ease. We appreciate your trust and are happy to hear that the process was smooth and transparent.
