# Stanford Legal Services

Stanford Legal Services is an estate planning firm based in Worthing, specialising in helping individuals protect their assets and provide security for their loved ones. Founded by Paul Stanford in 2017, the firm combines deep professional expertise with a distinctly approachable, jargon-free approach to legal matters.

The business serves clients who need clarity around complex estate planning issues but have felt intimidated by traditional legal professionals. Paul Stanford's background—including work as a financial adviser, experience supporting 45 legal firms through a wholesale drafting service, and involvement in thousands of cases—brings substantial credibility. He holds full membership with STEP (the gold standard in estate planning) and serves as Regional Chairperson for the Society of Will Writers across Sussex and Hampshire & South Wiltshire.

What sets Stanford Legal Services apart is their commitment to demystifying legal processes. Clients consistently praise Paul for explaining matters in a friendly, clear, down-to-earth manner. The firm boasts over 100 five-star Google reviews and has received recognition at the British Wills and Probate Awards and Adur & Worthing Business Awards.

The service is genuinely flexible—clients can meet at the Worthing office, at home (locally), or via Microsoft Teams. Beyond fee-paying work, Paul actively runs drop-in legal sessions with local charities, demonstrating authentic community commitment. The firm is a Disability Confident employer and supports the Remember a Charity initiative.
