Client, Contentious Probate
A ‘Contentious Trusts and Probate’ problem was handled very sensitively, supportively and efficiently by Victoria Townsend. She gave me good advice and information that helped me so much with my difficulties and achieve a good result.
Client, Contentious Probate
Victoria Townsend was wonderful, as my problem was a family related dispute, Victoria was very kind, helpful and considerate, which is what I needed because of the upset this problem created. Thank you so much and bless you.
Client, Contentious Probate - Trust Pilot
I contacted Victoria Townsend in April 2021 to assist with a difficult family situation. Her calm and professional approach was exactly what was needed and she was a great support through a very stressful and emotional time. I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough.
