“Benjamin Griffiths was recommended to me by my daughter to do my will. He was very kind, efficient and extremely patient. I am 80 years old and found some of the legal terminology confusing. I called quite a few times to ask for explanations, Benjamin was always very kind, helpful but most importantly so patient with me. He even came to my home to help explain things as I find it difficult to get out. I have recommended him to all my friends.”
"I cannot express enough how positive my experience has been dealing with Comptons and Ben in particular. They have handled personal issues for me with efficiency, sensitivity and friendliness that was most welcome at this stage in my life. I would also add that I believe I have received a superb service for a very reasonable price. This firm of solicitors come with a vary high recommendation from me. Thank you."
