1st class service

Dootsons provided a first class service when helping myself and my husband update our Wills. Due to mobility issues the solicitor held the meetings at my home and explained the procedure for updating our wills in detail she also answered all our questions and recommended pursuing a Lasting Power of Attorney to run alongside our wills which we are now pursuing. She completed all the necessary paperwork and sent us draft copies before arranging another meeting to get these documents signed and independently witnessed which also happened at my home. The wills are now in place and we have copies the originals are being held by the solicitors in a secure facility. I fully recommend Dootsons solicitors to anyone thinking of making or updating their will. Thank you

Excellent service again, 5 stars

I have used different solicitors over the years but Dootsons are on another level. I have just completed another stress free property sale with Amanda. Her communication & keeping me updated during the process was 5 star.
