69'er. 1969, when I first started using Blanchards - as it was then.

I have always found their advice dependable. And when I wanted a particular service it was carried out expeditiously and at reasonable cost.

I was recently sent a Notice from another Solicitors, concerning my fathers Lasting power of Attorney. I wanted to get some clarification and advice on the implications of the notice and reached out to Blanchards Bailey to help. Jerome Dodge was excellent and explained what the Notice meant and offered some options on how to proceed. Jerome was very sympathetic at what was an emotional time for all involved. Excellent service and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

- Informed, Understandable, Calm, Clear headed, Honest -
The title says it all. Mr. Jerome Dodge is a master of his subject, he clearly and intelligibly revealed enough and no more of the pros and cons of Trusts to allow us to make an informed, clear headed decision. All over a cup of tea in a comfortable meeting room.
I recommend Blanchards Bailey of Blandford Forum unreservedly.
