‘’We were strongly advised to use this firm, due to their reputation. The one matter on which David Pugh was consulted, we found him to be approachable, and very competent.’
What our clients say.
I was extremely pleased with the efficiency and professionalism shown to us both. I was made to feel relaxed in a friendly atmosphere from the moment of entering the offices to the completion of the process. I will certainly be recommending to anyone who requires legal advice or assistance.
The complete process for wills & POA was made very easy from start to completion.
Our latest experience with David Pugh and his team concerned the necessary updating of our Powers of Attorney. This was a tedious and somewhat complex task but was carried out with thoroughness, courtesy and efficiency. Service was faultless.
A new will – just seven days from initial meeting to it being signed and witnessed. Excellent friendly service.
I have used Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors in the past because they are professional, approachable, efficient and friendly. They have just recently carried out and finalised three documents for me and I would definitely recommend and use them again.
David Pugh was very friendly and approachable and gave sound advice. He made making my will easy and stress free.
Well done, first class service from all involved, very friendly and professional advice given. I would recommend Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors.
Wholly efficient service from beginning to end, the efficient manner in which David Pugh (Partner) and his colleagues managed our requirements was exemplary. Commumication was timely and clear. As were our meetings when all processes were fully explained. So, thank you.
David, Lizzie and Nicola were extremely helpful in organising my elderly mums will. They were extremely professional and always on hand to answer any queries that arose during the process.
David and Kelly were excellent from the start to the end of the process. They were both very professional and very easy to contact, and also very informative when they needed to be.
I had many changes I wanted to make in my will. At all times, I was treated with utmost respect to my wishes along with pertinent advice. I have no hesitation at all at recommending Lanyon Bowdler.
We were recommended the firm. The initial contact gave a good impression. We were given a free introductory meeting in good time. During the meeting we were impressed with the solicitor’s knowledge, straightforward and friendly approach. He was instructed. The wills were prepared in due course, and signed at a future meeting.
Very satisfied with a professional & knowledgeable service.
Probate – Initial approach very encouraging. Advice and information accurate and helpful. Subsequent communication easy and quick. Dealt with application and IHT calculation. Grant issued well within suggested time-scale.
From the initial meeting to completion of my wife Jayne and my will, the process was seamless, efficient and easy to understand. This was despite our wills involving two businesses, a commercial property owned by my SIPP, in addition to our own house and chattels. The price was fair and we were both very satisfied with the end result. We would definitely recommend Lanyon Bowdler based on our experiences.
All the staff at your Bromyard branch are a credit to your company!
From start to finish we had excellent service. Friendly, approachable and professional.
