Professional in all aspects.

When I first met Thomas Murray I felt immediately at ease and although it was a very difficult time for me due to the passing of a loved one, Thomas was extremely kind and understanding. There was a great deal of paperwork generated by Thomas but he dealt with it all in a methodical and very well organised way. His advice was very important and very reassuring for me. All the staff I came into contact with were efficient and friendly. If I had any questions Thomas was always available to deal with them. I have no hesitation in recommending Holley & Steer, in particular Thomas Murray.

I heartily recommend Holley and Steer - the staff dealt with my late Mother's estate and sale of her property in an exemplary manner and the fee charged was very reasonable.

Will writing by Thomas Murray

5

It was a great pleasure to have dealt with Thomas for writing my will, and he had a very pleasant manner throughout the whole procedure.
He had an excellent knowledge of the subject with great attention to detail, and was also extremely helpful in answering other questions as well, and gave good advice.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Thomas to anyone, to use as a solicitor for wills and probate with his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. I would not consider going to anyone else if and when it comes to dealing with probate.

Thomas was approachable and understanding, as well as highly professional, when contacted following an unexpected bereavement. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides sound guidance to update a Will, apply for Probate, as well as considering future legal needs. I can highly recommend his professionalism and his support during such sensitive times

A Professional Honest Service

5

The firm has helped me out on 2 occasions to date, the sale of my parents house in the Cotswolds and with the administration of my parents estate. Both Tasks have been carried out in a professional timely and efficient manner. Where parts of a task could be carried out by myself advice was given accordingly to reduce any unnecessary costs to the Estate. This is particularly important as previously when dealing with solicitors this does not always happen. My family will be using this firm in the future.

I used Thomas Murray from the Wills& Probate. My circumstances were particularly unusual. Thomas was so supportive I honestly do not know how I would or even if I would've got through it all. He even took time to speak with me out of office working hours and days. I highly recommend Thomas at Holley & Steer. I recently contacted Thomas to discuss my own Will and it was drawn up, signed and in my possession within 3 hours. Thank you Thomas for everything
