Sharon is down to earth, friendly and approachable and at the same time she is very professional. Sharon cares about her clients and wants to assist them at what can be an extremely difficult time.

“Having finalised the sale of my father's property I wish to extend my sincere thanks to Sharon Woodward who dealt with the Probate and finalised his estate accounts. Sharon was very understanding and sympathetic and always communicated in a friendly manner. She is extremely professional and always responds to any communication sent. I can also highly recommend Sharon to anyone that needs their will or lasting powers of attorney completed.”

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities encourages us to recognise the rights, experiences and needs of disabled people. For families who care for someone with a lifelong disability it’s often a worry how they will cope if you’re not there to protect them. Carers spend so much of their time worrying about the things they need to do for their loved one they forget about what they need to do for themselves.
