About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

My family have been client's of Barr Ellison for years. Recently (2025), Helen made the process of selling my house really simple, and kept me well informed throughout. I'd definitely trust their work in future and will recommend to others.

Very excellent service!
My husband and I are absolutely delighted about the service we have received from Helen Murphy of Barr Ellison solicitors as well as the rest of her team. She has been so professional and very helpful all throughout the entire process of buying our new home. She has given us guidance and was very accommodating for all our questions and concerns since we are first time buyers. She constantly communicated with us and assisted us with the paperworks and was very nice and patient too. We are very grateful to Helen, Emma and the rest of the team. We highly recommend Barr ellison and we thank them for their service.

Helen Murphy of BarrEllison has acted for me on four transactions in Cambridge and Bath. She is consistently skilled, expert and reliable. I would always choose to work with Helen if she is available in the future.

Helen Murphy is exceptional! She is very knowledgeable, diligent and always quick to respond. She provided me with much needed reassurance when dealing with a very difficult and unreasonable developer (Hill Group). I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

I can't praise Barr Ellison enough for handling the sale of my property, especially given how our international relocation hinged on everything running smoothly. Helen Murphy was exceptionally professional, competent & responsive. Worth every penny & would not hesitate in using again or recommending!
