“I was incredibly grateful for all the excellent legal advice that Elizabeth provided me with and her prompt response to my questions, but I also really warmed to her as someone who possesses the qualities of kindness and integrity. I am only too aware of how vulnerable most people feel when they lose a loved one, so for me personally, it was important to find someone that I felt comfortable with. Elizabeth Maurice certainly falls into this category, as well as being meticulous in her approach to drawing up a will. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.”
