Barr Ellison LLP

We, family and friends have a task to employ a Solicitor to arrange Deputyship for my late cousin's widow now in care and to sort and empty their home ready for sale. The whole task is complex, but Mel has been invaluable in corresponding with us all and other parties to enable this to happen. We have had many communications from Mel and have met her on site at the house. She is concise in her communications and professionally friendly when we met.
I could just about tick all the boxes below, but I am not the only one messaging and telephoning, so give my personal opinion.
Not living in Cambridge, I am unlikely to use the Practice again, but could recommend to others nearby.
Value for money - I don't know as I don't know how much it costs. The final payment will be paid from the Estate of my cousin and his widow's funds. I will not be involved.
As the matter is not yet completed, I cannot complete the 'satisfaction'. I am definitely satisfied so far with all that has been done for us. I have to answer as the form cannot be submitted without one, so have answered to the affirmative.
I have been extremely happy with all communications from all the professionals I have dealt with so far. It is not quite finished.

From the very first phone conversation through to the last, and in all our meetings, Mel has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, reassuring me at every stage of the process with her professionalism, re-balancing my anxiety about some difficult matters by bringing perspective, focus and clarity that was most appropriate at specific times during the process. At times when we needed to act quickly and efficiently, Mel was amazing and clearly understood the level of my ability to move swiftly with her, so that expectations of each other's abilities were fully supported and efficiently actionable.

Tracey and team were fantastic. Diligent, thorough, attentive and communicative. Our house purchase had a number of conditions that Tracey had the experience and expertise to manage and ensure we weren't put at risk through the process. A stress free engagement due to how the Barr Ellison team managed and dealt with the other parties involved. True professionals who care about you their client. Recommended and thanks for all your help.

Mark Copley pursued my claim to a successful conclusion after four and a half years.
I cannot stress enough the professional way in which he dealt with the whole case,keeping me informed every step of the way and I really appreciate the hard work which was involved.
I would have no hesitation in using once his services once again or recommending Barr Ellison.

Although we couldn't meet in person due to covid, we found Seema both professional and friendly. She answered all are questions honestly and timely, and we were very pleased with the ease of the service provided.

Emma, I scarcely know where to start in thanking you and Barr Ellison for the way you have supported and helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. I think that wuthout your empathy and understanding, coming to terms with my life adter the accident, learning to adapt to new circumstances and being able to look forwards to the future positively would almost certainly not have happened. For that I will always be grateful. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart and send every good wish for your future.

All was done well; there was nothing that could have been done better.
