Leigh & her assistant Vikki were very knowledgeable and got back to me in a timely manner when I had questions of queries regarding mine & my husbands wills. Leigh made the whole experience simple as we both felt overwhelmed with the information& decision making process for this. I would definitely recommend her for any will writing services.

I am writing this review on behalf of a friend. My friend was put in a position where he had to sell his house because of a divorce and engaged the services of Matthew Preston-Bloom of Ellisons in Ipswich.
Matthew was very well informed on all matters pertaining to house sales and guided my friend smoothly through what was a very traumatic experience for him. A consummate professional in every way, Matthew showed empathy for my friend’s position and guided him through all the pitfalls that can arise in these situations.
He took charge of the situation and always had time to put my friend at ease when problems arose.
Matthew is a credit to Ellisons and my friend would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone selling or buying a property.
