Testimonials;

“I cannot recommend Edward Powell highly enough. For starters, he is incredibly competent. From the beginning, when I first started calling around to find representation, Edward Powell stood out. I spoke to a number of solicitors, but he was sharper in his thinking and more knowledgeable. He also had more practical, useful advice. As a private client, the abundance of choice for solicitors can feel overwhelming. My family’s future depended on the quality of representation, and I was worried about the consequences if I made a poor choice. But I felt so sure, so early on, and I’ve never had any regrets about that decision. I imagine this is true for his other clients too. Being his client also suited me well. I needed a solicitor with whom I could work. I was a very engaged client, but I never felt ignored or dismissed for having questions. I suspect that it was Edward Powell’s adaptation to my needs that left me feeling so comfortable. Apart from his care for me as a client, what was also evident throughout was Edward’s attention to detail; it was heartening to see how he genuinely cared about precision and rigor. I honestly felt that I could’ve left everything to him, and the case would’ve been in safe hands. I also felt less alone in facing the challenges of the case. As a client, dealing with contentious issues regarding a will can be exhausting and tricky. I was facing this mostly alone and amidst some hostility from other actors. So I’m not sure I would’ve gotten very far without his help. His competence and care made a very difficult and trying situation so much more bearable. Perhaps the greatest thing about having Edward Powell as a solicitor is that I worried much less. For these reasons alone, I could say that Edward Powell was worth every penny. But we also, I should add, succeeded in our case. And that’s no small thing. A part of me even wishes I could pay him more – though I probably shouldn’t say that out loud. So yes, Edward Powell is a reliable, knowledgeable, safe pair of hands and very “on it.” But it’s this combined with his exemplary communication skills that, for me, mark him out as truly exceptional. Not only was he unfailingly prompt in his communications – he was genuinely pleasant to talk to. Ultimately, I felt I mattered as a client, that my case mattered to him, and that he was invested in the outcome. I really couldn’t have asked for more. So I would, wholeheartedly, recommend Edward Powell to anyone who has need of his services.” Legal 500 UK 2027, South East – Private client – Contentious trusts and probate.
