Client
I cannot thank you enough for your very kind and helpful meeting with us last week before my neuro surgery to put my long neglected affairs in better order. I am so grateful for your calm expert guidance which freed me to concentrate on the operation with such calm and positivity. I am also very happy with the outcome of my Will and Letter of Wishes which, whilst I understand are not legally binding, very clearly set out my wishes. It was also very good to have a Lasting Power of attorney drafted.
