Unfortunately we did not have a positive experience with Heseltine Bray and Welsh. My father passed away in January and had previously done his Will and Power of Attorney with the company. I contacted them to ask about the next steps (I was sole executor and age 28, I'd never been through the process before). My brothers and I felt like a burden to them when we asked our questions via email or over the phone, and when we went into the offices for the Will reading it was a very cold welcome from the staff.

The only redeeming aspect was our conversation with the solicitor who read our Dad's Will, though I believe she was a temporary member of staff. Overall I wouldn't recommend their services to those who want to write a Will.

Excellent service when my partner needed a will writing up at short notice they went out of their way to accommodate her. On behalf of my partner thank you so much for everything you done for her at such short notice.

I have had a few experiences with various solicitors & I have never been as happy as I have been with these guys. Robyn helped me sell my previous property & helped with the purchase of our new property, these were 2 separate cases & both times I have been so happy with the service! She is very responsive & replied very quickly to my emails (there was alot of them), she kept me up to date at every stage & she dealt with everything so quickly & prompt. The estate agents even commented on how quickly she had arranged everything. I will never use any other solicitors. Thank you Robyn for all your help!
