Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The team have been attentive, considerate and personable. The team have been supportive at a time when I have been going through a bereavement and have had to do a lot of things for the first time and therefore get to know and understand completely new processes. The team have been patient throughout, happy to talk things through and follow up with emails. They have been happy to answer questions and to help problem solve some of the issues we\'ve had with the will and probate. They have also been extremely efficient and responsive.'
- 'Rebecca Clarke has been great to work with. She is efficient, clear and lovely to work with. She has been great at dealing with me and my uncle during this process, adapting to our needs and individual ways of working. I have felt that she made the probate process collaborative and made who was responsible for what very clear.'
