Barrett & Co Solicitors LLP

Having used the services of Barrett & Co a few years ago for a house purchase, I again employed Barrett & Co to help with the Probate application process - this was not the easiest of cases, as I am dealing with my parents estate in Portugal, with assets in the UK, whilst being based myself in mainland Europe.
I found the service from Vanessa very efficient and professional. Questions were answered quickly and the process was made much easier with the professionalism and attention to detail.
The invoice was true to the fees quoted at the beginning of the process (in fact, the price that was quoted was honoured, even though the hours spent on my case exceeded the initial estimate). I was very impressed by Barrett & Co and the service from Vanessa and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I recently employed Barrett & Co to help me through the arduous task of Probate and all that that entails - Vanessa Ruparel, my solicitor was so kind while dealing with me and got every box ticked - she was efficient, extremely professional and guided me at every turn with great skill giving me practical advice whenever I asked. Probate was granted thanks to her being very proactive and knowledgable.
I also used Vanessa to produce my will and as I expected it was done without any preamble exactly how I wished it to be.
The fees that I was quoted were reasonable and they were true to the bill that I later paid.
I was very impressed by the team at Barrett & Co and will most definitely use them again in the future and would also recommend them.

I have recently used Barrett and Co Solicitors for a multiple legal issues needing to be resolved and also creating a will. I found them to be very good and professional, the majority of the work being carried out by Juliette Spanner who has very knowledgeable, professional and courteous.

From my experience I will be using them in the future again.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Barrett & Co when they prepared our wills and LPAs. Juliette Spanner was extremely helpful and talked us through all the intricacies in an exemplary fashion, using plain language to get the message across very clearly. Timely communication meant that we were always kept well informed of all developments. We would be happy to recommend Barrett & Co to anyone in the Reading area who requires a good and reliable firm of solicitors.

The thought of writing a will was quite daunting. Having discussed many times over the years, we decided that we should go ahead. Vanessa was helpful in navigating us through the process. She was very patient and understanding, alongside her professionalism. This made the potential ordeal for us so much easier. I would strongly recommend Barrett & Co for any legal activities and would return to them in the future for any legal services. I would like to thank you for all your assistance.

I contacted Barret & Co a while ago for properties inquires. They wrote me they were happy to take our case.

They called me back, asked several questions and said that they would contact me again with more information about how to proceed etc.

They never called back. I decided to call back this morning and they said they rudely said they were at full capacity. What a wast of time and unprofessional behaviour.

I would not recommend anyone to wast time with them.

I was very happy indeed with the service I received: prompt, professional and sound advice, at a reasonable price. The resulting output has been both useful and specifically tailored to my needs. The practice was approachable and efficient; highly recommended.

The professional and personal attention we got from Barrett & Co was exceptional. From my first contact with Claire who arranged the first online meeting with Juliette who then handled all our needs with great care and considerstion for the delicate time we were going through. Juliette was very considerate of my dads slight language barrier with detailed help along the way. I would highly recommend them.

In 2020, my wife and I decided to update our wills and to create a LPA and found a real gem in the service provided by Juliette Spanner at Barrett & Co Solicitors. Despite the limitations imposed by two lockdowns, the service provided was friendly, highly professional and efficient. Our questions were answered clearly, sensible advice was given and the quality of communication was very good from start to finish. On this basis, we would highly recommend Juliette at Barrett & Co,

I was delighted with the Professionalism of Mr Chris Miller.
He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend
this Law Firm for their excellent service and efficiency.
