Client Comments
- “After a gap of a few years, I finally decided it was time to update my Will, something I had been putting off. I contacted the solicitors (Hodge Jones and Allen) who drafted my old Will and was contacted by solicitor Emily De Ruyver. Emily made the whole process simple as I feared it would be complicated. She was an excellent listener, took time to go through the process with me, was thorough in understanding what I wanted to achieve and made sure I was completely satisfied once she had drafted it. Emily dispelled all the minor worries I had by her quiet and very professional manner. I am very grateful to Emily.” – Margaret
