Since our very first face to face meeting with Nelissa and her colleague both my husband and I felt confident and thoroughly informed of the process we were now undertaking. We were contacted regularly with updates and any query raised was dealt with by Nelissa immediately. This gave us peace of mind at a difficult time.

Nelissa Hicks at Rothera Bray Mapperley offered her services at very short notice. She was calm, kind and gave me a full understanding of the legal process necessary to wind up an intestate estate.

“I have been extremely impressed with Rothera Bray and their handling of a recent Inland Revenue and probate submission due to the death of a close friend. I found Mrs Nelissa Hicks as my dedicated solicitor to be approachable, helpful and informative, always supportive when helping me deal with a situation I was unfamiliar with as executor and beneficiary to my friend’s estate. From the beginning Mrs Hicks carefully explained what was required from me and supported me throughout the gathering of all necessary information to meet tax and probate requirements. She was always prompt to respond to my telephone calls, emails and any queries and questions and concerns of mine and always actioned any agreed stages expediently. This meant that the IHT audit was completed quickly and efficiently and in turn probate was granted sooner than I was expecting, due, I am sure, to Mrs Hicks’ diligence and efficiency. ”

“As a former solicitor of many years' standing, I have very high expectations when consulting solicitors as a client. Some years ago, Nelissa Hicks completed a very complex probate matter for us, so when we needed a probate solicitor again recently we were delighted that she was also available to act for us this time. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and always pays close attention to detail. She is also super-efficient and responsive, extremely personable, and she has boundless energy and enthusiasm for her work. Absolutely superb service - thank you so much!”
