Caring and Thorough

Met Lauren by chance at a cancer charity event. We had been meaning to sort our wills but never got round to it. Plus one bad experience with a solicitor re will had put us off. However meeting with Lauren was like meeting a friend. She was cheerful and did not make us feel that our belongings were too small to be dealt with. All questions however small were answered and considered with care. Thank you so very much.

Clear and Practical Advice

Craig Gosling was an absolute pleasure to deal with—professional, efficient, and highly knowledgeable. His approachable manner and proactive approach instilled confidence throughout, and he was always honest about costs. With his great legal knowledge, I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.

Sale of 6 Kiln Close, Old Catton

Not knowing the sequence of events or the time needed to complete the sale I am unable to offer any opinion, especially as I was lasting power of attorney only for my mother. Dealing with Gemma Murrell in the latter stages of the sale were positive though and professional.

Contested Will

I am eternally grateful to Chloe and her secretary Daisy for resolving the matter of a contested Will which had been ongoing for several years, within a matter of months. Chloe was professional and sensitive through out the process and kept me up to date every step of the way. An ugly situation was made much more bearable with their help and support and positive outcome was achieved.
