Client feedback via The Legal 500
I just wanted to thank you for the help, advice and amazing support you have given me over the last 16 months or so. I was completely lost after Paul’s passing and didn’t know where to start. I really would not have been able to figure it all out without you! Thank you for your kindness, I will always be grateful for handhold!
Client
Paul, thank you to you and Clive Pointon, for the efficient way my father's estate was managed and completed. In addition, your kind and sympathetic guidance made what was for me a painless process, a lot easier than it might have been. When I called Aaron & Partners, everyone I spoke to was kind, reassuring and helpful.
Client
Thank you for your prompt attention to our requests, your efficient understandable thorough logical approach to solving our legal requirements. It has been a pleasure to communicate and interact with you.
Client
Just wanted to send my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for all your help, compassion and the understanding given to me and my children over the past 2 years. I was absolutely lost in 2020 and have no idea where to start with the probate procedure, but you’ve been fantastic and made the whole thing so much easier for me. I am so happy with the service and assistance I’ve received.
Client
I must thank you for dealing with my ongoing Trust affairs and Will so promptly and efficiently. As Aaron’s representative in dealing with my affairs, I thank you for the excellent way in which you have dealt with them. My first, tentative enquiry to Aaron & Partners was in late November 2021; four months later, the various matters have been settled.
Client
Thank you for your help and advice with recent matters and excellent service throughout, very appreciated.
Client
Thank you for your superb service – making it all happen speedily, smoothly, pleasantly and legally correctly. It has been a privilege to have had you as our solicitor.
Client
Paul Caslin has been our lead on a complex set of affairs, and I cannot thank him enough for the support and advice given over our journey. Trusts are never easy, but he and his team certainly made the process much simpler and as regards to probate, I have handled one before myself but using Aaron & Partners made the process much easier than doing it yourself. Thank you, I highly recommend you to anyone using this process.
Client
Paul Caslin and his team at Aaron & Partners LLP Solicitors, Chester, were definitely the right choice to assist me and my family with a difficult bereavement, probate and estate of our late mother who sadly passed away in 2020. Paul and his team, from the beginning and right through the process, were friendly, approachable, had great knowledge and answered any questions we had in a professional, caring and timely manner.
Client
On behalf of myself and the rest of the family, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for your unfailing kindness, help and understanding since our initial contact with you almost 2 years ago initially with setting up our Powers of Attorney, drafting our Wills and then, sadly, overseeing the estate administration of my husband. We have been most impressed with your excellent service throughout.
Client
My sincere thanks to you for all your hard work, expertise and tenacity in getting the matter through all its stages and in particular through the Court of Protection.
Client
I just wanted to thank you very much for your excellent advice and thoughtful guidance with what was a very delicate matter to myself. I am extremely relieved this matter has been dealt with.
Client
I wanted to say thank you for your excellent advice regarding each of our affairs. You have been a tremendous help to us both. Feel as if a burden has been lifted from our shoulders.
Client
Can I also say thanks again for your help with all this Paul and Charlotte. As you can imagine, this last few months has been fraught to say the least, but your professionalism and attention to detail has been so much appreciated. When all around seems chaotic, it is great to have such a safe pair of hands on the case when it came to dealing with the estate. My family has been using Aarons for a long time, and I am sure we will continue to do so.
