Useful information
I have been involved with Private client law for over 20 years. I had studied law at college and at the age of 30 an opportunity arose to study further and qualify as a lawyer which I did in 2010.
I have always had a strong empathy for the elderly and vulnerable and pride myself in being able to engage with them and support them through what can be very difficult times.
I joined Goughs in 2020 and really enjoy working with my colleagues and offering support to the local community.

Preparation of Wills
Trish allowed me to sit in with my brother for part of the meeting for moral support for. She coped when he became distressed discussing his will. Trish spoke to Brian at a level he could understand and make his own wishes known. Trish was very professional in enabling Brian to be confident in returning to sign his Will.
Professional, explained all related matters, prompt feedback / service.
