Christopher Linton came recommended to us for drawing up our wills and trust documents. He was incredibly patient and understanding. That alone sold Wollens to us.
Christopher Linton PartnerWe recently moved to Liz Larner at Wollens and she has been extremely helpful. It has been refreshing to have such a proactive and professional experience and we would highly recommend Wollens to anybody needing assistance.
Elizabeth Larner SolicitorRachel has been more than a solicitor, she has been someone who’s allowed me to rant, cry, and laugh to. She has worked tirelessly in the background of my case fighting mine and my child’s corner. I would not be in the position I am in today with her.
Rachel Carter SolicitorRhoda was an absolute pleasure to deal with ,very responsive, efficient ;friendly and we felt very safe in her hands. We will have no hesitation in requesting Rhoda’s services again if needed and will certainly recommend her expertise to friends & family in the future.
