At very short notice I needed to get a Deed of Variation to meet the 2 year-deadline. My previous Solicitors not only wanted a lot money for it but also could not deal it within the required timescales. So I came to see Jane Cowdrey. The following was excellent: Approachability and friendliness of staff; Quality of service in relation to being kept informed of progress in the matter; speed with which the matter was dealt with and level of attention shown to the matterS.W.
