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.

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!

We were highly recommended the services of Deborah Linford, by a former colleague, as an Immigration Solicitor who would be able to assist my wife in obtaining as spouse settlement visa, as we return to my native England after many years living abroad. Deborah met every expectation, calmly navigating us around the intricacies of the application and ensuring we had all the documentation prepared and ready for submission, even though we were working on it thousands of miles away. She kept us fully informed of all developments along the journey to receiving the visa, which my wife now has. We would have no hesitation in recommending Deborah as an Immigration Solicitor to anyone else seeking a spouse settlement visa - or for any other service related to immigration - and in fact, we already have. Many thanks again, Deborah.
