I am currently using Askews for a range of services after the sudden passing of my mum. After helping me to write my will I knew Stephanie was the right person to go to when I needed to go through probate for my mum. She was very supportive and helpful and always quick to respond with any queries I had. I would highly recommend and am now using the conveyancing team to help me sell a house, who again are really helpful and responsive.

Lianne Payne expertly guided me through my Settlement Agreement with an intuitive ear to items that would be of most importance to me. Where needed Lianne interpreted the legal jargon clearly and was able to use examples of when and how certain clauses may apply.Lianne was very responsive and easy to contact via phone or email.All-in-all a very pleasant experience. I would readily recommend Askews and in particular Lianne Payne
