Report
Excellent service, Dawsons Law helped me through a very difficult time handling the probate on my fathers estate with kindness and consideration and always professionalism. They have also just redone my husband and my will. We have found them to be very helpful and attentive we would definitely recommend them for any legal matters. We will also return to them for any future matters that may arise. My late father also used their services and I know he was also very happy with the service he received.

Report
We had a very informative evening talk at our residential home, Hethersett Hall, to advise and support relatives in regards to Lasting Powers of Attorney. Salems was extremely helpful in answering any concerns or questions the relatives had, to put their minds at ease. We would strongly recommend Dawsons Law and we look forward to future events to ensure the best advice for people caring for their loved ones. - Charlotte Govier, Activities Coordinator

Having looked for someone close found the above named solicitor
Was very helpful when I needed it most
Support through a process which was very stressful time for me dealing with my late fathers estate .....and advice was great
The service was brilliant and very clear through out the processes .
Having had to put my father in to a care setting they steered me through the mine fields of the legal system
And gladly engage the company again for my own interests

Very poor service, when we complained was told she would phone, never did. Went to another solicitor eventually ,but had already paid Salena Dawson. To be fair did not deal with Miss Dawson herself, but a colleague who I believe has since left.
