First class

I highly recommend using Fiona Bruce solicitors for any legal work. In the last few years they have drawn up wills for me, prepared a Trust and, this week, given me expert guidance and advice on financial matters.

On each occasion the solicitor has been professional, courteous and patient. I have felt valued as a client and that my interests and priorities have been central to the relationship. All matters have been completed promptly and efficiently giving me confidence and peace of mind.

I really can’t praise Fiona Bruce solicitors enough for their discreet and sensitive approach to clients.

My Solicitor Was Outstanding

Solicitor Rachel Keegan helped me at the most devastating time of my life. My husband suddenly passed away at a time when he had appeared to be fit and healthy, so it was an absolute shock. We had no children, so I was totally alone in the aftermath, and didn't know how to deal with my husband's estate. Someone recommended Fiona Bruce Solicitors to me, and Rachel was chosen as my probate solicitor. I cannot express enough how incredible she has been throughout it all. There were times when we hit brick walls, yet even though I suggested leaving those parts unsolved, Rachel carried on pushing through, searching, ringing people and companies to get to the root of things. She subsequently solved every problem as it appeared, and knocked down each brick wall. I sometimes didn't understand certain legal jargon, but Rachel had the patience to explain clearly each term and phrase to help me. Nothing was too difficult for her. She was determined to get me through the most difficult time of my life, and sympathised completely with my deep emotions of bereavement. I could not have coped without her, and I am truly thankful to her for dealing with my husband's complicated estate on my behalf. There are people who help us through times of despair, and we never forget them. I shall definitely never forget Rachel Keegan of Fiona Bruce Solicitors.

My Mum's estate.

I have dealt with Fiona Bruce solicitors on other occasions and find them to always be approachable and very helpful with the matters I've had.
Jessica helped me navigate through a difficult and very personal matter after I had lost my Mum. I am extremely grateful to her as I wouldn't have been able to have managed this by myself.

I can highly recommend them for both probate (Steve Gray) and conveyancing (Rachael Latham). Compassionate, professional, helpful. I have no complaints about their service, and would recommend them and use them again.

Extremely professional solicitors, we required a quick sale for our buyers and we were not disappointed. Rachael Latham and her team knew the brief from the outset and performed brilliantly to conclude the sale within 9 weeks. I’d highly recommend their services to anyone.
