Father's Will
From the initial interview to the final settlement, Danielle Dennis-Betts representing Fraser Dawbarns was extremely friendly and professional. The whole process was completed within 7 months of my Father's passing and knowing that my solicitor was acting in a thoroughly competent manner made the whole process so much easier.

Description
Fraser Dawbarns LLP is one of the leading law firms serving West Norfolk and East Cambridgeshire with over 115 staff and offices based in Wisbech, King’s Lynn, Downham Market, March and Ely.We pride ourselves in delivering a professional service and giving our clients total peace of mind.Fraser Dawbarns LLP can trace its roots back to the Old Market in Wisbech when James Edward Fraser opened for business in 1842. The Dawbarn family opened for business in 1885 and the names of the two firms changed regularly thereafter as partners joined and then retired. Both firms were involved in mergers and takeovers of other local practices involving expansion into new locations.The latest name change took place in 2008, when Dawbarns Pearson merged with Frasers of March and Wisbech to become Fraser Dawbarns LLP. This was soon followed by the further merger of Fraser Dawbarns with Waterman Cheetham of Wisbech.In 2018, Fraser Dawbarns brought our services to a new location for the first time in many years with the opening of a modern office in the city of Ely.Our lawyers are specialists in commercial law, Wills and probate, agricultural law, divorce and family law, contentious probate, residential conveyancing, legal disputes, employment law and personal injury and they advise a wide range of clients across the region and the UK.In the 2019 edition of the Legal 500 directory (The Clients’ Guide to the UK Legal Profession), we are recommended for the following practice areas:Corporate and CommercialDebt RecoveryEmploymentPersonal Injury: ClaimantAgriculture and EstatesContentious Trusts and ProbateFamilyPersonal Tax, Trusts and ProbateCommercial Property
