What Client's Are Saying

• 'Richard is a natural public speaker, there were audible gasps of disbelief from our group when several of us realised that our own arrangements would not protect our property from the threat of care home fees. With Richard's help he put our minds at rest' - Mrs S, Leicester

• I was very pleased with the service provided for writing a Will and Power of Attorney. In the comfort of my home, Richard Lockwood was very polite, efficient and informative. He offered suggestions that I had not thought of and was very sympathetic to my situation. The timescales he offered for completion of the documents were met and I cannot fault the excellent service.
