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.

Caring and professional
We recently completed joint will writing with Melanie at Roche in York and were very pleased with the whole experience. Melanie was very professional, but kind and caring and we felt at ease undertaking something that is not the easiest of tasks to consider. I would really recommend using Roche and would not hesitate to use the team again. Great experience.
Very friendly and helpful
Very friendly and helpful but I did feel that the major concern was what income could be generated from their services rather than my own needs.

Excellent
Your service was excellent. I would recommend your services to friends and family.
Felt very ripped off and whole process was dragged out. One final hidden charge was to deduct £35 to electronically transfer money from a will. Avoid.
No hesitation in recommending
Rachel provided me with very proactive and efficient legal advice, clearly setting out the available options and dealing with the necessary paperwork in a timely manner… I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others who are in need of the legal services that she provides.

Rachel Roche and her team at Roche Legal
are simply, exceptional. We have had a range of services from her team over many years and Rachel is without doubt the best solicitor we have ever worked with. Her breadth of skills and professional expertise is exceptional. In addition to these attributes her personal service is another main reason why we send our legal work to Roche Legal.
