Thank you once again for all your work on this matter. It only remains for me to thank you both for all of your work on [Client]'s behalf, both during her life and following her death, and for all that you have done to help me in the execution of her Will.
Client
I felt a sharp sense of loss on opening your letter this morning, you have been such a tower of strength at a very painful time, always there when needed, always crystal clear in your advice, and all this with a light touch which concealed the very serious work you do. You have saved us a great deal of money too and for that I am grateful. If I need legal help in the future you will be the first person I turn to.
Client
Clive I just wanted to send you a thank you from the family and me for looking after me so beautifully over the years. I can't think of a better solicitor for me.
Client
We would like to thank you for the courteous, efficient and professional way in which you have dealt with our matters. I came to you originally as you had been highly recommended. I must say that I have not been disappointed. Rest assured that if I have anything else that needs attention I shall have no hesitation in contacting you again.
Client
