Efficient and speedy

Most impressed with the efficient and speedy manned in which you have draen up our new wills and given our children the comfort they will need when they will, eventually, have further need of your services. We were most impressed by the fact that our new wills have been drawn in simple and straightforward English language; so much easier to understand than the jargon used by some solicitors.
