I contacted Phillips and Wilkins Solicitors based on a recommendation from a friend to prepare a will at short notice for my wife and I. The solicitor I dealt with was professional, helpful and, most of all, sympathetic. Despite COVID and the difficulties of the time, they were able to prepare a will quickly meeting all of our requirements. I would highly recommend this firm, and am very grateful to them.

Unsatisfying experience. Recommended to us by neighbour. We had bad debt on top of being 'bullied'. Seek lawyer's advise to reclaim debt that was previously agreed upon in writing. Job was handed to a, most likely, junior staff. Debt letter written did not reflect what we discussed. Asked for it to be corrected. Had to have 2-3 amendments as the legal person did not seem to comprehend fully what had been discussed. Each amendments and each phone calls were charged despite mistake made by the legal side. Complained to principal lawyer but no action.
Also, letter was 'soft' and completely ineffective
