Excellent specialist advice

5

We opted to use Renaissance to help us set up a Disabled Persons Trust for our son who has SLD and ASD, following attendance at a Mencap webinar. We had previously approached a local solicitor specialising in Trusts, but realised quickly that their specific knowledge of DPT's was insufficient. Renaissance however have in depth knowledge of the law with vulnerable people, and understood the contexts families are dealing with. They were supportive and took time to explain every query (and there were many). We live in the North East and did everything via Zoom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for specialist advice for vulnerable relatives.

An excellent experience.

5

Following the death of my husband, my solicitor arranged my new Will and guided me in setting up a Trust with an appropriate Letter of Wishes to protect the interests of a family member.
As I live a long way from the law firm ,which I chose for its special expertise in family matters, we were able to meet via Zoom. This was a great help as the meeting included two family members who were to serve as trustees.
Due to other pressures, I was often slow to answer letters and return documents, but my solicitor r was always patient, friendly and helpful.
When I sent questions my solicitor always replied promptly and comprehensively.
In addition to the required work she made suggestions regarding things that I had not thought of, which I found very helpful.
All the staff who answered the phone were very friendly, calm and confident which is so important at the first point of contact.
I consider that it was very good value for money and no extra charge was made for my extra questions and the length of time I took to complete my tasks.

The best you'll find

5

I spent two years researching the best company to work with to set up trusts for our grandchildren, one of whom has complex special needs. Renaissance Legal is the only company I found that really understand disabled trusts inside out. Having subscribed to one of the regular free webinars they hold, I was so impressed that I went ahead immediately. Our solicitor Gina Cucciniello was outstanding from the start. These are not easy matters to understand or deal with, but at every point she provided clear advice and guidance to ensure that we achieved what was needed. She was really approachable and responsive, and every query either to her or her secretary was dealt with promptly. We couldn't have asked for better and are very grateful to Gina and Renaissance Legal for the service they've provided. I'd recommend without any reservations.

Setting up a disabled person trust, and lasting power of attorney

5

First rate professional service on both tasks.
We picked Renaissance after hearing one of the partners speak at a free seminar on setting up trusts. All of that good advice and knowledge was evident as they walked us through the steps needed to set up a trust for our disabled son and help us ensure our own affairs were in order.
Having a disabled child is full of things to worry about - thanks to the team at Renaissance there are now 2 big topics we do not have to include on that list.

Specialist understanding or predicaments of families with a severely disabled member. Direct personal service i.e. one lawyer dealing with everything. Clarity on fees, nothing unexpected.

I first met Philip at my house when my Wife was first diagnosed with Early onset Alzheimers Disease. He gave us some very good sound advice on a few financial matters.
When my Wife passed away, just over two years ago I went back to Philip and he put me onto Gina in the Company to sort out my Wife's Probate. She did an extremely great job in dealing with it and, well worth every penny spent with her.
Thank you Gina.
