Testimonial from the 2025 edition of the Legal 500:
‘Kevin Thomas was very pleasant to deal with and has a wealth of knowledge that was very reassuring. We were able to set up a trust and amend our wills with confidence that the advice we received was based on years of experience held by Kevin.’
He is a committed fundraiser for Mountain Rescue, and in Oswestry is Vice Chairman of the local branch of the RNLI in which role he helps organise the very well supported Annual Oswestry RNLI Quiz.
In his spare time Kevin is a keen spectator of rugby and an avid mountain walker (Snowdonia always beckons), and tries to combine both with an active appreciation of a good real ale. Kevin is also interested in History and Politics, Reading and Travel.
Work carried out professionally and above all very friendly and relaxed.
Kevin Thomas is well-regarded for his experience in administering estates which have significant agricultural property.
