Julie Barbour

Senior Accredited Paralegal

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Julie first joined W&AS Bruce in 2004 after gaining her certificate in Conveyancing Practice from Strathclyde Law School. After six years away, she re-joined us in 2014. Julie has worked in the legal sector since 1991 so is highly knowledgeable and experienced, and a respected member of the company. Julie is now based in our Burntisland office as a Senior Accredited Paralegal in our busy and demanding Conveyancing Department carrying out all aspects of conveyancing including sales, purchases, re-mortgages and discharges. She was also one of the first to be invited to join The Law Society’s Registered Paralegal Scheme at its inception and is a member of the Scottish Paralegal Association. Julie has been married for over 40 years (she hastens to add, to the same person) and describes herself as cool, calm and collected. Mr Barbour could not be reached for comment, having read this and laughed himself into a coma.

Sale of 28 East Leven Street, Burntisland

The service given by Julie has been so quick and efficient. She could not have done more to move things forward and keep us informed at all times. Such an asset to the firm. Thankyou Julie and all at Bruce Solicitors.

Excellent customer service

I can honestly say that Julie and her colleagues were excellent and dealt with a really complex and difficult experience for them as well as myself. Any queries I had were dealt with either immediately or I was phoned back the same day as they promised. No praise I can give is too high. Many, many thanks.

Review for Julie

Julie just helped me with all the legal work for selling my first place (she done all the legal stuff when I bought this as well) and buying my second place. For all these occasions she was great! Nothing was a big drama and she is good at making the legal stuff less intimidating - especially when you have no idea what half of it means. My plan is to use Julie for the rest of my days buying and selling until I’m in a care home.

Outstanding Service 5*+

Julie has acted for me on my recent house purchase/sale and throughout the transaction, she went above and beyond, nothing was ever too much and she made a stressful time so much easier. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others. An exemplary service from an exemplary team.

I don’t normally do reviews but I have to say Julie was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process of my home journey. I am really appreciative with the communication and everything she done to get things moving in time despite constantly waiting on others. Would highly recommend Julie and Caitlin.

Here to add to the large list of 5star reviews for Julie in the W&AS Bruce Burntisland branch. She was fantastic throughout the entire process, super-organised, and quick to sort everything at her end, making everything run more smoothly. Dealing with her during the remortgage was like finding a calm oasis in the empty desert of trying to deal with the bank! Thank you Julie for your expertise and next time I need a solicitor you'll be first on my list.

After buying and selling 12 properties within 25 years, we used WA & S Bruce for buying and selling the last 2 houses. Julie was fantastic each time. Not only is she incredibly competent and professional she is so witty, even when faced with the odd hiccup (which she always sorted quickly) she did so with great humour and re-assurance. She always kept us informed. Never have we had such a pleasurable experience during such a stressful time. I would 100% recommend Julie Wilson-Barbour for all your conveyancing needs. Thank you so much Julie - you are 5 star!

Dealt with Julie in Burntisland a couple times, she will tell you as it is and gets the job done, second time round was a bit more challenging but we got there, again straight to the point, do whats needed ( obey the list given) and she will get it done. Great service and great communication, Will use again and would highly recommend
