'It has been a pleasure working as an Executor with Longmores team who have proved to be attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. The estate has proved to be challenging due to there being no living relatives and rather random paperwork but they have taken on the challenge, been friendly and supportive, helped find additional outside professionals to dealing with the house and chattels and at all times kept me as the sole executor fully informed. I would not hesitate tor recommend them to others or use them again.’
‘This practice was recommended to us as we needed new wills and Power of Attorney agreements. We found the solicitor Charles Fraser very helpful and efficient. Unlike the firm we used previously Mr Fraser did not 'lead' or hurry us but good documentation was provided and any queries were clearly answered and the implications explained.’
‘Longmores have been established for a long time. They have a fantastic reputation of being the "go-to Solicitors" in Hertford. They consistently "go the extra mile" for their clients. They work with great professionalism and integrity. When clients require advice from a couple of departments for more complex situations, this is a seamless process. I have passed a number of clients to Longmores in my role as an Independent Financial Adviser, they have all been very happy with the service/advice they have received. ’
‘My dealings have mostly been with Alastair Liddiard. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He is very patient, especially when dealing with vulnerable or elderly clients. He explains complex matters very well, so they are understood. He will go out of his way to ensure a professional job is undertaken. I'm also very grateful that Alastair is always accessible and in my role as an Independent Financial Adviser, Alastair often answers a variety of queries. This helps me in my job a great deal. ’
