    Olivia and Peter’s hard work on my behalf has made a huge difference to the quality of my life and my future. They made sure that I knew they were behind me and were very supportive and kind throughout the whole legal process. They made sure that we had a very strong case and worked hard to secure the best expert witnesses. I was kept up to date regularly and they were always friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Olivia and Peter.

    Exceptional support from a truly outstanding solicitor

    From start to finish, Olivia and Peter were exceptional. Their kindness, empathy, and genuine care made an emotionally difficult process feel manageable and far less traumatic. They supported both the legal journey and the emotional one, always attuned to how I was feeling and what I needed. Their interpersonal skills were so human, warm, and reassuring that working with them felt like being part of a strong, steady team. We worked incredibly well together, and their guidance made every step clearer and less overwhelming. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for not only an excellent solicitor, but a compassionate ally during a challenging time.

    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.

    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..

      We used Balfour and Manson for the sale and purchase of our home, and we worked with Adeeb from the beginning and he was fantastic. Comms were great, he clearly explained everything and answered our many questions. We would highly recommend this firm, and if you can work with Adeeb - an added bonus!

      Absolute pinnacle of unprofessionalism. Waited three weeks after engagement to tell us that they were overextended, and they no longer would be representing us for the purchase of a home. The roof inspector they chose was on holiday for the entire length of time between calling them and today, they did not share reports as they received them, and were impossible to contact for any reason. Not a call back, no questions answered, nothing. And halfway through, passed off to a new person without a word, no notice of who I was supposed to contact for anything (as if I could).
