I was born in King’s Lynn, and now live in South Wootton together with my wife and young daughter.
Outside of work I enjoy watching most sports, mainly rugby, football, athletics and cricket. I have been a season ticket holder at both Norwich City FC and Leicester Tigers.
I also enjoy time spent on the North Norfolk Coast.
I initially studied Sociology at Durham University, before then studying Law at Nottingham Law School. There I completed the Graduate Diploma in Law, and the Legal Practice Course.
Thereafter, I completed my training contract at a local firm of Solicitors in King’s Lynn, qualifying into their Private Client Department in November 2015. I have also worked in the Private Client Department for another firm of Solicitors, in Fakenham.
I initially moved to Ward Gethin Archer’s Swaffham office in January 2018, where I worked for five and a half years in the Private Client Department.
After that, and having worked for a brief period at another firm, I moved to Ward Gethin Archer’s Private Client team, in King’s Lynn, in January 2025.
I specialise in Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Registering Enduring Powers of Attorney, Probate and the Administration of Estates, together with Court of Protection matters.
I aim to provide straightforward and approachable advice for all our clients. I stive to adapt to the needs of all clients, and provide them with the necessary tailored advice they need assistance with.
Further, I appreciate many clients will be looking for advice in particularly sensitive and emotional situations. As such, I am particularly conscious to adapt to such sensitivities and emotions, and alter my approach to each individual accordingly.
I can say that the service we received over this current transaction was, as is in the past carried out with a professional, courteous and friendly manner - thank you.
I can't fault the service provided, professional and empathetic to my circumstances, could not be happier.
Friendly, straight forward and competent service - thank you.
A very professional company. I have used them several times for conveyancing and recently for LPAs and our Wills.
Excellent service was delivered with extreme care and sensitivity.
Great service from start to finish, professional and quick service from the first phone call to the last meeting.
We contacted James to complete Wills as ours were to complicated, he explained things clearly by Zoom, all documents were done in quick timescales as we were due to go away.
Good work thank you.
I would like to thank James Palmer in particular for dealing with my updated Will which was done at short notice and completed well within the time I asked.
