    Perfect in every way

    It’s so hard choosing a lawyer who will bring you through all the way to the end. Peter has earned his place as one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with (I have worked with 20+ in my career). We had a legal task that could have gone south at any time but Peter and his team were able to solve the issue with the best possible outcome. I don’t say this lightly… this was a battle than spanned years and Peter fought and fought like no other. And we won. I am very proud to have worked with him and he makes the legal challenges bearable and enlightening

    I am very unfamiliar with any kind of legal process. I was very nervous about it. Kenzie not only provided prompt, efficient help but also got me a great outcome and made me feel reassured throughout the process. Thank you.

    Great and Informative

    The solicitors that handled my case were amazing. They answered all my questions regardless of how small they felt, which helped me feel reassured and , and were open and honest about each stage of the case. I felt very secure knowing they were dealing with the case, and would highly recommend them.

      Clear, communicative and professional service

      Adeeb was incredibly helpful and communicative. He reguarly updated me so I was kept fully aware of the process. As this was my first purchase it was a big relief and help to be able to contact him directly with any questions I had. He was understanding of my own situation and made everything as smooth as possible - I will definitely be using Balfour + Manson for any future purchases.

      Ann Logan - Outstanding Lawyer

      Following a traumatic amputation I was referred to Ann Logan of Balfour +Manson LLP. From the very start to the conclusion of a successful financial settlement her advice, communications, feedback, guidance and sound interpersonal skills have simply been outstanding. With a warm and engaging personality, she is a highly gifted lawyer at the top of her game. I was kept informed at every stage of the proceedings in a timely manner and at all times was treated with absolute respect. I unequivocally recommend Ann Logan to anyone pursuing a personal injury claim and would have no hesitation whatsoever in seeking her representation in the future.

      Overall great experience

      We took a risk and bought a house before we sold our home. Amy and her team as well as Nicola at Compass and Sarah at Danestone helped make the process smooth and seamless and it worked out just as planned. The team at Balfour & Manson are great, easily contactable nothing is too much trouble and they reply swiftly when you contact them. Face to face and online meetings are used when required. All costs set out in advance and explained in detail. They have a very friendly approach and that is just what you need during stressful times. Highly recommend.

      Hi Angel, We’re unable to find the matter you’re referring to on our system. Are you able to email marketing@balfour-manson.co.uk with further details of this and we can investigate? Client care is one of our main priorities as a firm.

      Amazing company, first class litigation team. If your looking for a solicitor that can pull out all the stops then look no further than michaela guthrie. She won me a personal injury claim which was very tricky to say the least. Communication skills were second to none. Also very understanding and caring. Well done michaela. Keep up your amazing work..

      I Would like to thank Fiona Muirs for all the hard work she put in to my case. It was a long and lengthy process however, worth it in the end.... (Nothing to do with fiona) I was always made aware of what was happening and Fiona communicated with me all the way through. I felt so relaxed speaking to Fiona and she always listened. Thanks again Fiona.
