Testimonials

What our clients say.

At the time of my initial meeting with Sophie Burgoyne, concerns about settling my late father’s estate had weighed heavily on me for some time. It was clear from the outset that Sophie had an excellent depth of knowledge in the area. She explained the probate process, and addressed the particular questions that had been worrying me in a reassuring and professional manner. I left feeling like a load had been lifted from my shoulders. All further interactions were efficient, well-communicated and prompt. The whole process moved forward very smoothly. My only regret is that I didn’t approach Sophie sooner.
