Professional and Compassionate Legal Support

I am extremely grateful to this firm for the professionalism, kindness and efficiency they showed me during an incredibly difficult time. With my husband in hospital, I was alone in a foreign country and facing a very stressful situation. From the very first contact, I was treated with understanding and compassion, and my concerns were handled promptly and professionally. A special thank you to Jordan Hay, who went above and beyond to help me. His patience, kindness and support made a real difference during a very difficult period. I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional and compassionate legal support. I am truly thankful for everything they did for me.

Wills & POA's

Extremely simple process working with Jordan to set up mirror wills and POA's for my wife and I . Jordan explained everything in great detail to us both and done everything we needed with the absolute minimum of fuss.

Perfect Service

Worked with Jordan Hay at Balfour + Manson to resolve a legal matter related to family estate. He was very knowledgeable and gave me great advice in a timely manner that resulted in a very efficient resolution of my issue. I would definitely use these solicitors again and would recommend Jordan in particular.

Outstanding Professionalism and Support Throughout My Claim

Balfour+Manson provided an excellent service throughout my claim. The team was professional, approachable and supportive from beginning to end. Communication was clear, I was kept informed throughout the process, and I always felt that my best interests were being represented. I am very grateful for the hard work and dedication that resulted in a successful outcome for my case. I would highly recommend their services to others.

Lynne Mulchay

I don’t think I will ever truly be able to put into words what Lynne’s support has meant to me. She came into my life during one of the most frightening, stressful and emotionally exhausting times I have ever experienced, and from the very beginning I felt that she genuinely listened to me, understood me and cared about what I was going through. There were so many times when I was scared, overwhelmed and beside myself with worry. Lynne never dismissed those fears or made me feel like they didn’t matter. She listened, reassured me and always made sure I understood my options. At a time when I desperately needed someone to believe in me and what I was fighting for, I felt completely heard and supported. I had previous experience with another solicitor at another firm, and the difference was honestly night and day. With Lynne, I never felt like I was simply another case or another name on a file. When court eventually became my last resort, Lynne carefully talked me through the process, prepared me for what was ahead, and we took it one step at a time together. She never made light of what I was going through. Sometimes I just needed to talk through the little worries and niggles going around in my head, and she always found the time to get back to me promptly. That meant more to me than she probably realised. Jan was also an incredible support throughout. She showed the same compassion and professionalism as Lynne and they worked exceptionally well together ensuring I was kept informed in real time and supported at the drop of a hat if I needed it. I am incredibly grateful to her too. Having Lynne beside me made an unbearable situation less lonely. It can be difficult to believe anyone really understands what you have been through and continue to post separation but Lynne did. Without her, I genuinely don’t know how I would have found the strength or courage to keep going and keep fighting for the justice and protection my family needed. The case eventually concluded with the outcome we had hoped for. After everything it took to get there, that is something I will never take for granted. Looking back at where I started, how frightened and overwhelmed I was, and everything it took to reach that point is incredibly emotional. I will never be able to thank Lynne enough for what she has done for me and my family. Her compassion, professionalism, honesty and dedication made an incredibly painful experience bearable. I truly could not have done this without her, and I will always be grateful that she was the person in my corner throughout it all.

Excellent service! Highly recommended.

Adeeb was my conveyancing Solicitor and he was amazing. Clear communication, good advice, efficient and getting issues sorted quickly and effectively & overall a fantastic experience to have them by my side. The entire B+M team were great, and I had a wonderful experience with them! I would certainly recommend them.

My request on email was answered by a TRAINEE in COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. Unsure, if he would have the expertise to judge whether or not a Private Client, Wills and Executries Solicitor/partner would have been interested in supporting me! Very disturbing especially as they were recommended to me by a legal eagle!

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were disappointed with our response. Your enquiry was considered under the firm's usual supervision and review procedures. While we regret that we were unable to assist on this occasion, we wish you every success in finding a solicitor who can help.

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!
