Private client - probate.

I was really pleased with the service I have received from Tinsdills in applying for probate for my late mother's estate. Georgia Cliffe was extremely knowledgeable and guided me through the process. She kept me informed at all times. Would definitely have no hesitation in using Tinsdills again.

Made a difficult situation so much easier

I cannot praise Karen and her team highly enough. Apart from the obvious exceptional knowledge, experience and advise given, my situation was handled with empathy and honesty all the way through. Karen explained everything to me and her knowledge ensured I was able to come out with a favourable result that suited me and my children. I would highly recommend using Karen, especially if you are going through a difficult and complicated divorce.

Couldn’t be happier with Tinsdills Solicitors

I can recommend Shannan Sutton very highly. He is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, approachable, always available when needed and I was kept fully aware at all times. I live in another country but spoke to him via video on more than one occasion, which certainly gave me confidence in his expertise. Couldn’t have wished for better service from Shannan. Would definitely contact him should I require any assistance in the future.

I contacted Tinsdills initially, because I required help with an issue that had arisen. The issue has however resolved itself. I would recommend Tinsdills to anyone requiring legal help as their compassion, kindness, friendliness, willingness to help and professionalism, was definitely something that is a rare commodity these days. They were so kind, and should I have any reason to require legal help in the future, I can categorically state, that I would have no hesitation in contacting Tinsdills. The way they dealt with me was definitely a reason for returning. I cannot thank them enough for being there during, what was, a very trying time.
