An Excellent Solicitor.

In our experience, when Mr Julian Burrows took on our case, he started with a face to face meeting of how he was going to approach our concerns going forwards. That left us in no doubt that we would be in good hands. His advice and communication skills kept us informed every step of the way and we never had to wait to long for answers. His very professional approach gave us confidence to the final conclusion of our case. Most of all his skill as a human being shone through out.
Highly recommended.

Contentious Probate

Having lost my husband suddenly and with nothing in place to prepare for what lay ahead I was recommended Wolferstans Solicitors.
Anyone finding themselves in the same situation should not hesitate in contacting them. From the very first meeting with Julian Burrows his professionalism and compassionate understanding made me feel my situation was in safe hands. There were many challenging times, with my numerous questions Julian was quick to respond explaining everything in a way I could fully understand.
Coping with grief and the complexity that comes with a death you are not prepared for is devastating for the whole family. We can not thank Julian and his colleagues high enough for helping us through it all.

Julian Burrows - highly recommended!

We highly recommend Julian Burrows of Wolferstan’s for any contentious inheritance or dispute issues. We found his knowledge, expertise and interpersonal skills to be exceptional. When dealing with our problem Julian had the ability to keep us on track, but at the same time empathised with the situation we were facing. He quickly gained our trust and confidence. We felt that he was sincere and dependable throughout.
As a client, Julian understood our needs and provided a prompt and very reliable service, answering our questions appropriately and quickly. His advice was down to earth but concise, detailed and always written in a way that we would easily understand. He was excellent at identifying the risks we were facing and describing the complexities within our case, but he did so very sensitively and in an empathetic manner.
Overall, we found Julian to be approachable, perceptive to the awkwardness of our situation yet at the same time, to be considerate and receptive to our feelings. Without reservation we would recommend Julian for his services.
