I have worked closely with Seema for a number of years, in my capacity of executor to the estate of two close friends. Throughout this period of time, which involved interviews with them both at their nursing home, Seema showed compassion and professionalism in dealing with two elderly people. The husband of the couple passed away first in the care home, Seema continued to work to make a smooth transition of funds so that his wife received financial security at the same home. On her death there was a large amount of work to ensure that the beneficiaries, including charities were dealt with fairly, all of which she discharged with great skill. I would like to thank Seema and her team for their professionalism and understanding throughout this difficult time.

Barr Ellison seems part of our family. My husband Richard had told me that Barr Ellison would take care of me and my son, and he was right. You guided me through everything with regard to my husband's estate, always making clear the choices open to us. Seema Solanki and Helen Murphy were so kind, approachable and trustworthy, they feel like sisters to me.
