‘Very experienced, friendly and approachable staff.’
‘Neil is excellent at his job. He makes clients feel at ease and gives expert advice. ’
‘In my view, Carson McDowell offer an excellent service and can be relied on upon to address matters in a timely fashion. They have an excellent back office service and I consider their fee structure to be well within the range offered by any rival practices. The individual strengths of their staff include a proactive approach with a style that is professional but approachable.
‘I have worked exclusively with Neil Bleakley who is Partner in charge of Trusts and Wills. With Neil Bleakley the work consisted of planning for high value mutual clients. I would have no reason to deal with any other professional firm but have no reason to believe that there is any necessity to change from this advisor.’
‘I dealt with Naomi Lamont. Naomi was the consummate professional, who listened, advised, and gently directed, with knowledge, efficiency and reassurance. From my first appointment to delivery of my objectives, the service was flawless.’
