Graduating with flying colours, Zoe's journey in law began with a First Class Honours Law Degree, where she clinched the highest mark in her year. This academic prowess continued as she graduated with a Distinction in the LPC at the esteemed University of Law.
In January 2023, after six years of invaluable experience gleaned from a high street firm in East Grinstead, Zoe officially donned the solicitor's hat. Joining Parfitt Cresswell in September 2023, Zoe brings with her a robust background in both Property Law and Private Client matters, and is well-equipped to navigate the intricacies of legal landscapes.
Zoe's focus lies exclusively within the realm of Private Client services, where she specialises in Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Estate Administration. Her dedication to her craft shines through as she guides clients through complex legal processes with ease and compassion.
With a passion for delivering a first class client service, Zoe is eager to make a difference in the lives of our clients. Whether you are seeking assistance with Estate Planning or navigating Probate proceedings, Zoe is here to provide expert guidance and personalised solutions tailored to your unique needs.
As the Executor of my later father's estate I had to balance dealing with family members and the legal elements
of achieving probate and then distribution. I was so glad I had Zoe to help me through this process, to take on all the heavy lifting when required, and to listen to what my needs were, respond appropriately as well as providing clear and balanced legal advice. The process was not only effective, and supportive of a complex case, but completely collaborative. My experience was one of teamwork, working together for the best outcome, which was how I had hoped we would be able to make this work out. The firm is professional and friendly, from receptionists through to all the legal professionals I had the pleasure of working with. With Zoe having an open mind, with a clear eye on keeping on track and being robust and rigorous legally, we were able to achieve a result for the beneficiaries which exceeded our expectations. I was also delighted at how the firm was so honest and clear about costs - and how they were diligent and respectful of keeping the costs proportionate. I don't think we could have hoped for a better outcome, and the result is that we have been able to pass on a substantial legacy to the children and grandchildren, which would have been exactly what my late father would have wished for, and would probably have been more than he could have hoped. I can't thank the team enough for being legal adviser, support, counsellor and friend to me during this extremely difficult and heartbreaking time. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Efficient, friendly, professional service My family used Parfitt Cresswell Limited to draw up our wills as well as to amend some
details on our land registry and the service was excellent. Zoe was our main point of call and she was very easy to communicate with, friendly, helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. I'd very much recommend their services and we'll certainly continue to use them in the future
We are very happy with the advice we received which was not only informative but also delivered in a most
professional way. Zoe completely understood the nature of our complicated family arrangements and guided us through the quagmire. When we need further professional advice you can be assured Zoe will be our first port of call.
I have already recommended Zoe to family and friends - not just for the personalised and attentive service from the
whole team, but for how they helped me navigate major life events (probate, wills) with a comprehensive and professional approach. Although I no longer live locally, Coleman’s / Parfitt Cresswell have been consistently reliable, and I would not have any hesitation to using them for any legal services I might need again in future.
Zoe Neale was responsive, professional, understood my requirements, and communicated when she said she would. I was delighted with the
service I received.
Zoe was fantastic with giving advise when in came to what to do about my will. Then carries out my
instruction perfectly. It was also fantastic that she was willing to come to a different office that was nearer.
Your solicitor Zoe made a first time experience of making a Will & then going through POA paperwork much easier
for me to understand. Not easy looking ahead to old age & think what you might want & need when you can no longer look after yourself. One just hopes that will never happen. Zoe was very good @ explaining how important it was for both myself & family.
Zoë has an engaging manner. Her experience and professionalism immediately gave us confidence that we had made the right choice.
Throughout the process we felt communication was excellent and timely. We were given all the information necessary to inform our decisions. The outcome was precisely as we had hoped. Thank you.
Rewriting our wills caused by son's marriage breakdown and possibly impending divorce . Our concerns to protect family assets in
event of our deaths was thoroughly handled - much to our relief !
I found Zoe very pleasant, and keen to help me at a sad time. She was very professional but
I was not made to feel unknowledgeable at matters. I would hope to use her again should the need arise. I have already recommended her to a friend.
Zoe was wonderful, always polite, friendly and courteous. I don't think it was the most exciting work she will ever
take on - a simple pair of Wills for a married couple. However, she was extremely helpful with the information she provided which made our decisions about some points of clarification much easier. Her attention to detail was exactly what we needed. Also, I liked the fact that she was relaxed, had a sense of humour and had the human touch. It made the whole experience extremely refreshing and enjoyable. Thank you, Zoe.
Alison Pain and Zoe were very compassionate and listened closely to my situation. They were then able to provide me
with valuable information and guidance.
