Hi Emma, just wanted to thank you for the friendly and efficient way you dealt with our wills and property change of ownership. You made what seemed to us a complicated issue easy and stress free. We would certainly recommend You to anyone. Regards Ken & Eileen Massow.
David
I used Drysdales Solicitors to update my Will and to prepare Lasting Power of Attorney documents for Finance and Health. Emma Faulkner assisted me every step of the way and I would have no hesitation in asking her to help me with any future legal matters. Emma was extremely professional, supportive and kept me aware of expected time frames and costs that would be incurred. Highly recommended.
Steve
My review will reflect the high regard we have for the services you provided. Your manner has been very professional as well as being informative, polite and friendly.
You have successfully guided us through a process of which we had very little knowledge.
All the way through you have given us all the help and advice required to reach a successful conclusion. I will not hesitate to recommend your firm…and you personally… to anyone and everyone who is looking for some top legal advice.

Our experiences with Drysdales Solicitors, Southend on Sea
My wife and I were in need of some specialised legal advice and in a rare area of the law. I contacted Drysdales Solicitors in Southend on Sea, who provided by telephone invaluable initial guidance as to the optimum route to pursue our case.
This advice was followed up, leading to a rapid and successful pursuit of our case, and with a clear lead being given by Drysdales as to the best path to follow and win the action. Quite complex issues arose, but each was advised upon and followed up by our solicitor and without delay. This was especially important as we were acting against pre-set deadlines. A specific attribute was that even if the advice given to us at any given point was not necessarily to our own liking, or even directly opposed to it, our counsel did not demur from insisting that we pursue the route set out by him. Had this not been the case, we would likely have not won our action.
We found their fee level to be fair and acceptable.

Thank for sending the copy of my will. You provided an excellent service in helping me cope with writing a new will. You were knowledgeable and very helpful and answered all my questions so that I had complete understanding of the process. Thank you. Yours sincerely
Christine Covell
I just want to acknowledge and pass on my many thanks to you and your office for your kindness. Obviously your good self as making a will can sometimes be quite hard depending on the nature of details. Thank you so much for your kindness, empathy and thoughtfulness on advice and seeing me to the end of this road.
J Green – 12/05/2026
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Lorna Steed of Drysdales Solicitors who recently assisted me in the matter of probate for my late brother’s estate. It was a sad and difficult time but Lorna guided me through all the complicated legal procedures in a most professional but also compassionate and understanding way which I truly appreciated. She subsequently helped me to update my own Will in a most efficient and thorough manner.
I would have no hesitation in consulting Drysdales in the future as I have been so impressed with the efficient and friendly service provided by Lorna and her team and also by all the other members of staff.
I can certainly recommend Drysdales 100%.

Dear Lorna
I am writing to leave a review concerning the work you did for my Lasting Power of Attorney.
You were very helpful in explaining all the steps of the process to me. You also took steps to make the lengthy documentation easier for me to deal with when reading and signing by flagging relevant aspects.
I enjoyed speaking with you at the meetings we had as you were always willing to help with any questions I had.
You were always polite and friendly and put me at ease. In addition you always informed me of the stages we were at during the process and how long it should take.
Thankyou once again. I would certainly recommend you and Drysdales.
