After having an awful experience with a different solicitor firm I was recommended by a friend to contact Joanne, so I did. From the first phone call I had with Joanne, I was put at ease and reassured. This journey for me
has been very stressful and at times I couldn't see an end but Joanne was always on hand to answer any questions or concerns I had. She is very prompt, efficient, is honest and reliable and I would highly recommend Joanne for anyone seeking a solicitor. I am so grateful for the support and guidance Joanne has given me throughout this procedure, thank you.

I can't thank Joanne and her team enough.

They made a difficult process bareable.

Joanne gave sound advice and steered me in the right direction. Never judgmental and always willing to listen.

Even when Joanne was not avaliable, there was someone else to get advice from.

Writing my Will

I needed to write an updated Will which was hard for me because I don't like talking and dealing with matters like this! My experience at Your Local Family Solicitors Ltd was amazing. Garfield was very knowledable and helped me to understand some of the finer details of writing a Will. What impressed me the most was his caring nature and I felt I could take my time and ask questions. Thank you so much!

We were made to feel at ease from the start. The guidance given was first class and covered all the pitfalls that we may encounter. Everything was explained in terms we could understand. Also, we were made to feel welcome and at home. Garfield and Sarah were really polite and made us welcome, nothing was too much trouble, Thank-you.
