I would highly recommend this Company, I was recently faced with sorting a very delicate legal matter after the death of my husband. Deanne Taylor and her personal assistant Lynne Tomkins dealt with this for me. Their compassion and professionalism made, what was a very distressing time, so much easier. They were both very kind and knowledgeable, exactly what you need in these situations. Thank you both.

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
