The Pickerings Team were always on hand to support my husband and I through the process of sorting our wills out. They were polite, professional and easy to work with. Translating legal language into ours meant that I walked away comforted that my family would be treated well if and when they need to open the wills up! Thank you.
We found Pickerings solicitors the perfect solution for our joint wills. Our needs were fully understood' - Gary and Thelma Morley
