I left it a bit late but it was time to make a Will so that I would leave everything organised with no family squabbles. S & B were organised and completely professional, dealt with things quickly and were value for money. Would totally recommend.

I made my Will through the Free Wills Month, and Chloe a young trainee solicitor, explained the procedure very precise and clear through each step of the way. Everything was done efficiently and apart from a small misunderstanding of the charges, was very professional, and all was made to a satisfactory conclusion.

I am very satisfied now the Will has been completed.

We would just like to say the biggest THANK YOU to Deborah Linford for helping us achieve , what seemed like the most impossible task, our Family Permit.
After 4 years of being apart, we finally got our approval, and we could never have done it without you, Deborah we thank you tremendously from the bottom of our hearts❤, you have made our dreams finally come true , and we can't thank you enough for being so professional, always patient and always kind.

Sarah Davies was absolutely fantastic she was the only person who took on my case and was incredibly helpful not only as a solicitor but she became a friend. Someone who listened and didn't judge. Honestly 100% recommend her to anyone who needs someone on their side without judgement. Sarah thank you for all you did for me. All the love in the world to you!
