Many thanks indeed for your help and assistance regarding my recent Will. You made it simple and stress free, which I very much appreciated.
Excellent service from Stephen Sampson who helped us draft our wills.
Everything was clearly explained, without jargon and Stephen gave us excellent advice to make sure our wills were drafted in the correct way to ensure our wishes would be carried out. All for a very reasonable fixed fee.
Can highly recommend for wills and executor services
I finally got around to seeing Stephen Samson to rewrite our wills following our wedding. He listened and we received clear, informative advice and good suggestions in return.
Following our initial consultation a good draft was produced, tweaked and quickly signed!
Perfect, thank you to all at Monan Gozzett.
I am not given to sycophancy, but I have been very impressed with the service you have provided. The exercise has been markedly different from that which I experienced [with another firm] and consequently I feel confident that my affairs are in good hands.
Thank you, including for always keeping us informed - we are really very grateful - and so pleased we made the decision to come to you for becoming our solicitor.
Stephen, thanks to you, this morning I have exchanged contracts on the sale of my house.
Yesterday afternoon, your willingness to see me at short notice to witness my declaration and the easy, relaxed manner with which you carried it out turned my rather tense afternoon into a comfortable evening. Thank you.
My daughter and I met Stephen Sampson 6+ years ago and we took a liking to him straight away. He was very caring, professional and made us feel at ease. Stephen has been very good and helpful to us over the years and is quite willing to come to our home. We feel that Stephen is a friend now as well as our solicitor.
We are most grateful to Stephen Sampson. We recently reviewed our Wills after a change of circumstances. His highly professional approach, and substantial knowledge and guidance were particularly helpful within the context of some complex issues. We are much relieved that our final wishes will be carried out to the letter by such a competent Executor. We would highly recommend him.
I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough. Throughout the past years, both for myself and my mother, I have used Stephen's knowledgeable legal services. He is extremely personable, positive, caring and respectful. I have referred him to many friends in the past, who are also extremely happy.
Thank you for the information and advice that you have provided for us, which has allowed us to feel confident that all our future needs and those of our children are well documented, as and when they are needed.
We found our dealings with you were of a very high standard and have recommended your company to anyone who has mentioned they need to attend to their future legal needs.
Neal and Stephen were extremely prompt, polite and professional while assisting with a minor matter that several other local solicitors had refused to assist with.
I would highly recommend their service.
Thank you also for the speedy and pleasant way in which you handled our instruction. We would not hesitate to contact you should we require further legal work in the future.
We would like to thank you for your unbiased, professional and unemotional advice. It helped us understand the whole picture (and ourselves) and It is very highly appreciated.
“Thanks Stephen, it was great to see you and we really appreciate all your advice - we can rest easy now!
"Many thanks again to you and your staff for the friendly and helpful manner in dealing with our wills.”
I'm very happy with the service provided by the Monan Gozzett team on this - thank you both very much for massively simplifying the process and being so responsive.
