‘Richard Horwood has been exceptional in providing a tailor made solution for our generational property portfolio. The solution met a number of complex objectives, even though some of those objectives appeared to be conflicting.'
‘I have used Longmores Solicitors a lot over the past year and a half. I have found them to be absolutely excellent. Everyone working for the firm that I have come into contact with has been efficient, hard-working, reliable and friendly.'
'All their work has been of excellent quality, and always delivered on or ahead of time. They have advised me well at a difficult time in my life, for which I will always be grateful. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Longmores to other people.’
‘I have mostly dealt with Victoria Wood and she has been amazing. She handled both my Father's probate and my new will. I found her to be knowledgeable, thorough, and hard-working. She stayed in touch with me throughout both processes, giving me frequent updates as to progress, and letting me know what I had to do on my end. Victoria gave me very good advice, which made the whole probate process a lot easier for me than it would have been otherwise.’
‘We have exclusively used Longmores for our private client affairs for many decades and have been extremely well served by them throughout. The company is highly professional and has a very good and respected profile.’
‘Richard Horwood always explains issues very lucidly and clearly and is a pleasure to work with. He is totally dependable, responds extremely promptly, and his recall of the detail of our affairs is exceptional. We value his involvement with our affairs very highly indeed.’
