Wills & Probate Client Testimonials

“Sara Hilliard has been sorting out our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. She was very patient in explaining it all to us so that we could understand the legal jargon. Her manner & kindness and that of all the people we dealt with are a credit to Timms.” – December 2023

I cannot praise Timms Solicitors enough. Trainee Leah Pilling was exceptional, and I don’t say that lightly. I had another Solicitor which was not helpful. After a few years I gave up and was recommended Timms Solicitors. Leah was reassuring, clear, and supportive. She also put my mind at ease, the tricky language she explained what they meant without being patronising. Thank you Leah for being supportive, and Jo her Senior for placing me in her more than capable hands. I would like to add the lady on reception was so welcoming. I dealt with an emotive subject and Leah put me at ease. I HIGHLY recommend Timms Solicitors. – November 2023

“Jo Robinson has been the most amazing person in assisting me with my own Will and equally my disabled mother. Jo travelled to the next town, and sat with my mum, and made sure she had expressed her wishes wholly and was so supportive. My mum would like to thank Jo as she is also helping with a property and ensuring this is secure for her. Just amazing service, empathetic and understanding. I have dealt with other Solicitors in the past who were only about making money. Jo was totally high with her moral duties, but is also just a generally lovely and pleasant person. Jo has also helped reassure me with areas around my Nan’s Will and provided me with a general understanding of parts I was unsure of. Thank you so much Jo, we will absolutely call on you in the future.” – July 2023
