Two new hires in wills, trusts & probate team
Frank Smith & Co Solicitors has expanded its wills, trusts and probate department with two new hires: solicitor Sue Senkbeil and legal executive Michele Bysouth.
With more than 20 years of experience, Sue holds a law degree from Staffordshire University and has since been assisting clients by preparing wills and trusts, administering estates and applying for Court of Protection and lasting powers of attorney.
Sue said: ‘I am really looking forward to being part of the team at Frank Smith & Co Solicitors. The firm’s values of taking a friendly yet professional and pragmatic approach align directly with my own, so I have no doubt that it will be a seamless transition during which I can offer clients clear and helpful advice in a sensitive and understanding manner.’
Sue will be joined by Michele Bysouth, who has over 15 years’ experience in law, and eight years working specifically in wills, trusts and probate.
Michele said: ‘Having supported clients with wills, trusts and probate matters for now nearly a decade, I’m especially looking forward to putting that experience and knowledge to use for a new client base. Frank Smith & Co Solicitors has long been a highly reputable firm in the South West and to be able to work with such an expert team is an exciting step in my career.’
Commenting on these appointments, the firm’s founder, Frank Smith, added: ‘We’re proud to be a traditional law firm with a modern approach, offering a high-quality, high-end service through and through, and the appointment of experts like Michele and Sue reflects that.
‘Sue pairs a keen eye for detail with a kind and caring attitude to handling matters calmly, friendly and professionally, both for new and existing clients alike. Michele has developed a reputation for her hard work and professionalism, and welcoming, empathetic nature, qualities she uses to work closely with clients to resolve legal matters efficiently and with care. We’re thrilled to welcome them both to the team and are confident that they will be assets to an already well developed, specialist team of legal experts.’
