what you see is what you get.
For years I've worked behind the scenes of this industry. I built the software and the support that solicitors and estate planners across the UK rely on to run their businesses — today more than [200] firms use our software and support.
I'm proud of that. But I missed the part that made me start in the first place: sitting down with a family, listening, and knowing I'd genuinely helped.
So I'm back doing it myself. What you see is what you get — a young, focused guy who'll tell you how it is. Not a character dreamed up by a firm, and not a salesperson reading a script. If you don't need something, I'll tell you.
Because I don't carry the overheads of a big firm, I don't have to charge like one. I'm not the cheapest and I'm not the dearest — I'm the one who'll do it properly and explain it clearly.

the straight bit
- I'm not a solicitor and this isn't a law firm. Will writing is unregulated in England and Wales — which is exactly why it matters who you trust with it.
- I'm a family advisor, not a financial adviser. I don't give investment or tax advice. If you need a solicitor or a tax specialist, I'll tell you.
- Covered by professional indemnity insurance.
- Data protection: how I look after your information is in the privacy notice.
- If something goes wrong, here's how to complain — and what happens next.
