Really helpful

Matthew helped me out with an issue regarding my limited company. He called me back the same day after I left a message, and his advice was considered and useful. He kept his advice to the point and made it cost efficient for my business. I would highly recommend the firm and Matthew.

Unique experience

5

Churchers were recommended to me and I am glad I acted upon it. Following my first enquiry, I was guide towards Matthew Bailey as I came under one of his specialties. By the second conversation with Matthew, I felt I was talking with someone I had known for years who was given me sound advice, it did not feel like a typical client/solicitor relationship. Matthew was sound in his knowledge and advice. Also, empathetic to my situation which allowed him to understand the problem and therefore I had complete trust. It was refreshing to deal with a human being rather than an income generator. It was a pleasure to deal with a true professional as I felt that I had an ally rather than someone going through the motions. I thank all involved and would highly recommend contacting Churchers.

Matthew Bailey the only solicitor you will ever need!

5

I had the pleasure of Matthew Bailey not only acting as my solicitor but also to some respect as a friend that offered me great advice on multiple occasions which i will be forever grateful. Matthew and the entire Churchers team (shout out to Christine Finch) are absolute professionals, Matthew in particular with his knowledge and expertise achieved the desired outcome for my business in a timely fashion all whilst having my best interests at heart. A true professional and the only solicitor you will ever need.

Advice given to a Citizens' Advice client

5

When I was 70 I was, I feel, taken advantage of by one of the big conglomerates and 'tricked' into letting a contract on the understanding that they would pay the bill. When it came to it they paid less than half and refused to pay any more. I am now trying to fight this case through the Small Claims Court . i am being supported by Citizens' Advice who very kindly arranged a this meeting with Matthew Bailey . I needed advice on the content of papers for the hearing, how to respond to an offer from the defendant and the pros and cons of each way forward. Mr Bailey was professional in his delivery of critique of my papers, was patient in explaining points that weren't obvious to me on how the system works and very helpful in developing the contents of my reply to the defendant's offer. Although not every thing he said was what I wanted to hear I appreciate his advice and feel better prepared for what is to come. I hope this invaluable opportunity will continue to be made available to others in the future.
