"During 2011 Poh Shan Chong and Andrew Spearman have handed several matters for us including Jill's mother's estate and house sale, our own Wills and other property matters. We have been very happy with the excellent service provided."

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the time and effort put into dealing with the affairs of both of our parents. We appreciate that at times you must have found progress very frustrating and we think it fair to say that you succeeded in progressing the settlement of both Estates in a very smooth and friendly manner. The whole process was nowhere near as traumatic as we feared it would be. This was entirely down to you.
We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others. Neither would we have any hesitation in personally approaching Wortley Byers LLP should we require any of the many other services provided by your colleagues."
