We recently used Smalleys solicitors to handle the probate for my mother’s estate. Marcia was welcoming friendly and excellent at her job dealing with our very unconventional family dynamics in a professional and calm manner. The whole process ran smoothly despite our many queries. Thank you again we have no hesitation in recommending.
