I engaged Lauren Gratrix as my solicitor to deal with my mothers estate after she died intestate. From the very start, Lauren has shown the upmost professionalism, and the highest standards, whilst doing everything in a timely manner. She has done so whilst showing me the utmost care, compassion and consideration throughout this ordeal.
I cannot praise or thank her enough and I highly recommend her to all my friends and colleagues. She has been amazing.
