Wills, probate, conveyancing and leases. No criminal work is undertaken.
Drummond and Hale is a firm of solicitors on the High Street. Its work is wills, probate, conveyancing and leases. The firm does not undertake criminal work, which is referred elsewhere.
The solicitor is Mr Philip Whitmore. Neither Mr Drummond nor Mr Hale is now with the firm. The brass plate by the door has not been changed.
The front office is panelled in dark wood and smells of paper and furniture polish. The filing cabinets go back several decades. Clients wait in leather chairs, most of which are older than the clients.
Mr Whitmore is precise and careful. Clients are advised to bring the relevant documents and to say exactly what they wish to know. Appointments are made through Mrs Enid Barlow at reception, who has been with the firm for more than twenty-five years.
