My husband and I asked for both Power of Attorney and our Wills to be drawn up by Gordon. He was very helpful and explained things clearly and in detail so that we could easily understand. We felt very satisfied as it was quick and professionally dealt with.
Mr and Mrs M
I met Bill at the Bowls, and I asked him if I could see him regarding a Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney. I found Bill to be transparent, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. Bill went at my pace, ensuring I understood each step in the process.
Mr S
My Wife and I asked to see Danielle, as she is still training, she came with Bill to talk through our needs and wishes, I found her to be knowledgeable, friendly and everything was completed in the time frames she gave. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.
Mr and Mrs B
I met Gordon Hogg several years ago when he joined our choir. As a widow, I have found it difficult to know where to go for financial advice. I found Gordon to be trustworthy, professional, and knowledgeable. He completed a new Will and Powers of Attorney for me very efficiently and within the agreed timescale. He ensured I understood the process every step of the way. He is reliable, punctual, and kind, I have recommended him to several friends and neighbours.
Mrs B
I met with Bill who instantly put me and my wife at ease, he removed the legal jargon where he could, so that we fully understood the process in the difficult situation we found ourselves in. He was approachable and available at each stage with any questions we had. Thank you Bill for helping us solve our situation, will definitely recommend your services to family and friends.
Mr and Mrs M
Gordon was recommended to me by a friend who said how honest and easy to talk to he was, so I took his telephone number and said I would keep it for future reference. I did contact him, and he visited and sorted out my problem in no time. He was efficient, kind and understanding and I now consider him as not just an advisor but a friend. I know if I have a problem, he will not hesitate to talk it through and reassure me that I am not wasting his time.
Mrs W
A few months ago, I realised that it was time to revisit and update my will and, having looked at various national organisations who “supported charities,” an experience that I found to be a bit soulless and impersonal, I decided to talk to Bill Hogg. He came out to visit me at home, at an out of hours’ time that worked for me, and we talked. I wasn’t bombarded with literature and technical tales, but my situation and the possible scenarios that may lie ahead for myself and my family, were at the heart of a natural conversation. There was no sales pressure and the options, that were clearly explained to me in everyday language, were very much within my control. The outcome was that I now have an updated will and powers of attorney that I am reassured will be for the genuine benefit of those I love in the future. I have already started recommending Attorney Wills to my family and friends as a trustworthy company that puts community and people at the heart of everything they do and will happily endorse them to anybody who is looking to write or update their will.
