‘I have been extremely impressed with the way my late uncle's probate was handled during difficult times. Kindness and professionalism was at the forefront.’
‘Martine Swaep was exceptionally helpful.’

‘Greene & Greene has provided sound legal advice to the our family in Bury St Edmunds regarding wills, trusts and probate, particularly where an emotionally unstable and vulnerable member of the family has been concerned, and in advising on a non-confrontational approach to potentially contested issues. In particular, the team's advice has been sound in discerning where to stand firm and where to be open to negotiation.’
‘Our dealings were with Martine Swaep, in sorting out our personal wills and in doing so provided in depth advice regarding inheritance tax planning and general matters around the issues of probate. Her advice was thorough and non biased but offered us every scenario that could be appropriate.’
'The work was carried out by Nigel Scase. We found him to be a good communicator and efficient in completing the tasks. We were kept up to date with progress. At times aspects of the work fell slightly outside Nigel's expertise, we were inpressed that he did not attempt to bluff his way through instead seeking clarification from colleagues.'
‘Sandra Bowden was sympathetic yet efficient and highly competent. It was a pleasure to work with her.’
‘We mainly deal with Wayne Perrin and his team. In all interaction we have had with them we have never had to question their advice or chase replies or outstanding matters. They have always been proactive and approachable.’
