Lisette Macdonald, Senior Associate

When Jean Gibbs lost her husband, she turned to private client lawyer Lisette Macdonald for advice and support regarding his estate.

Part of this included transferring the property she held with her husband into her sole name. This happened during the unprecedented challenges faced during the pandemic, with Lisette’s calm reassurance helping to guide her through.

In her testimonial, Jean said: “I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the staff at Harrison Clark Rickerbys whom I had contact with during the recent Covid-19 pandemic.

“This was a particularly stressful time and Lisette, who looked after my business, was extremely efficient and helpful. She reassured me each step of the way which was very much appreciated.

“I wouldn’t hesitate to enquire about the services you provide in the future should the need arise.”

When Mr Hulbert’s brother died without a will, Lisette Macdonald was instructed to handle his affairs.

Lisette’s care, understanding and expertise meant the administration of the estate could take place efficiently and without hassle.

Mr Hulbert said: “We have had the great fortune to have been placed in the attentive care of Lisette, who - with great regard to our lack of understanding has skilfully, and with great patience, guided us through each process.

“I and my partner feel that she has taken great trouble to relieve our stresses, which have been many, and overall she has dealt with us with great sympathy and empathy.  Lisette is not just a quietly efficient and dedicated professional, she is a thoughtful and very special person. More still, a friend - and right here, that is just what was needed.”
