Client Feedback
Simon
My sister and I (as trustees) were faced with the daunting task of resolving a number of legal and tax issues with our nephew's trust fund. I found Hannah and the team to be professional and helpful at all times and truly value the service and advice they provided. We simply couldn't have done this without them, and they took the stress out of the process for us.
Mr A
Hannah and the team at Myerson were very pleasant to deal with while assisting with the application for a reseal of a foreign Grant of Probate and handling various tax issues in relation to the estate.
Mrs. Westwood
Compared to my original solicitors Myerson have been excellent. Hannah Owens has provided clear explanations of the various options available to us, timely responses, and has been upfront about the expected costs.
Mr. A
I dealt with Hannah Owens and she was extremely helpful and professional. As a result, I would have no hesitation in recommending your firm to my friends if they required legal advice.
Mrs & Mr Brighouse
Hannah Owens really understood our requirements. She explained various options, including the use of trusts, and had a deep understanding of the issues and tax legislation. She was very easy to talk to.
Jonathan Barnfield
I cannot speak highly enough about my involvement with Myerson Solicitors. My dealings were with Hannah Owens, an Associate in the Wills, Trusts & Probate Department. She was extremely helpful, informative and professional at a difficult time for me after the loss of my mother. I would certainly have no hesitation in using Myerson Solicitors again in the future.
