I would just like to say a huge 'Thank you' to all at Smalley's Solicitors. A very professional service from start to finish.The Will 's and Probate Team are second to none. My husband met with Deanne, who explained the process to him, regarding my late mothers will. Lynne and Grace were my main contacts throughout our process.Lynne was absolutely lovely, explaining each step of our process, we were in uncharted waters, and we got the professional help we needed.Lynne is an absolute darling and so helpful.If you need a good Solicitors, Smalleys are the ones.

I have recently used Smalleys to draft a Declaration of Trust for a change in share ownership on a property. Marcia and Katie handled everything for me and they were quick to reply to emails and change anything I needed changing. Katie dealt with the signing and witnessing and she was lovely and friendly and immediately put us at our ease. Thank you
