Erin Duffy – I had never been an Executor of a Will before, let alone one that was being contested. That was when I was introduced to Erin. I was nervous that I wouldn’t understand all the legalities and that I would be out of my depth but Erin was so kind, patient and understanding. She explained all possible outcomes from the start and answered any questions or concerns I had. Her correspondence to the other solicitor was exceptional and displayed her extensive knowledge and professionalism – something that couldn’t be said for the opposing solicitor ! Overall, I have been very satisfied with the service I have received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Erin or Palmers in general, in the future.
