Good choice

5

Pleasant and understanding a totally different yet still professional approach putting us at ease and allowing us time to explain what we were trying to achieve with our wills and powers off attorneys.
There are still some issues to resolve that we will need help with but we came away saying to each other we felt able to go back and ask Elizabeth Holmes for help and advice and agreed we had made
GOOD CHOICE and had no regrets.

Friendly and informal but very professional

Elizabeth was friendly and relaxed and spoke to us in 'normal speak' rather than legal jargon, which made it so much easier to understand.
She produced the forms to sign within just a few days, so we were grateful and impressed.
