Report
Unreliable and awful taken over 4 years to resolve my dad's will and still on going. No replies to emails and constantly fobbed off my sister phoned this morning and got told someone would ring back and no one did yet again. the receptionist was rude and disrespectful I would never recommend these solicitors as nothing gets done they just take your money and drag things out.
