About Us
Thank you for handling the estate of my mother.
My mother was associated with your company for a long time, that's the way she wanted it.
After the first meeting with Nicole Russell and team, it was obvious our family wouldn't be let down. What a great job Nicole and team were able to achieve.
I would like to personally congratulate Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams for a job well done! This has been a very difficult time for our family. The close down due to Covid-19 made your job all the more difficult. We are all very happy with all outcomes.
