Our People

I met Gillian Dunlea in May 2018, unfortunately not in the most auspicious of circumstances. My partner of 18 years had recently died and his will, together with mine, was at Street Marshall Solicitors in Purley. Gillian has the most charming personality and immediately put me at my ease when we met for the first time. In had no idea what it was going to be like being a joint executor of an estate with a lady like her, as she knew so much whereas i had no idea! Gillian explained to me that as executor I could do as little or as much as I liked. She suggested to do as much as I could and at first it all felt totally surreal the situation I was in. Over the last 20 months since Clive's death I have been able to cope well with the job that my late partner gave me; Gillian has given me so much confidence. Luckily the lady has a terrific sense of humour as well as a lot of patience; especially as she has to deal with me! She is very professional, superb when it comes to detail and very methodical. She is a solicitor who dots the 'I' and crosses the 'T' and still has the time to answer numerous questions and solves the problems that I cannot answer. I could not have managed without her thoughts and consideration. I would recommend this lady to anyone who needs advice and i feel lucky that I have been able to work along side her. The loss of a partner is something so difficult to cope with but having an understanding solicitor is a great help in the aftermath when quite frankly the world does feel like a dark place. It is good to know that there is a very human face behind the red tape and grunge that a death brings. Thank you very much Gillian for all your help. I really appreciated it.
