  We had an appointment with Emma Brown to make a will. Emma immediately made us feel at ease, and thereby making what might have been a difficult and scary process seem easy and relaxing. We would both recommend her wholeheartedly. She had answers for all our questions and we now have that peace of mind that everything is taken care of when the time comes.

  My mother and I used Aristone Solicitors services for the preparation of a will under the March Free Will campaign and Emma Brown was extremely courteous, professional and helpful throughout. The process was explained thoroughly and the guidance paperwork we completed was very clear to understand. We were given a very warm welcome at their offices at the time of signing the will and Emma went above and beyond to ensure we understood everything clearly and we felt very well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.
