Testimonials

“MLP Law were asked to deal with my brother’s estate as he died intestate and with a few complex issues amongst his paperwork. Samantha Kennedy and her team went above and beyond to help me understand and complete the necessary forms along the way. It was an arduous process but they made it so much easier. Their friendly and professional approach really took the pressure off at a very emotional time. Thank you!”

Ms Cox

“I would have no problem with recommending this solicitor or using them myself again. They provided an excellent service throughout. The solicitor handling my request was Doris Raggatt and I found her straight forward and easy to deal with.”

Barbara

“I found Samantha Kennedy to be very helpful, supportive, friendly and well organized. She got back to me straightaway when I asked any questions with her pleasant, straightforward, caring manner. She also put my mind at rest on a number of worrying concerns about my Will.

I think she gave me her best advice and we got the Will sorted really quickly.”

Karen

“Jane Hunter was both helpful and accommodating. Communication was swift and my questions were always answered. Many thanks.”
