Barr Ellison LLP Review Scores & Client Satisfaction Overview

Money
Money
Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

Satisfied with outcome
About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Peter and Ruth Coles
Commercial Property
Excellent service, completed all legal work on time without hassle
We were extremely pleased the way Kelly dealt with our case, we live in France and she sorted out and assisted in all the legal work to complete the auction sale in a very timely manner. Due to us not living in UK meant she had to go that extra mile to ensure target dates were met. Excellent service and without hassle

Will Experience
We had our wills drawn up and then a hold-up for several months from our end before we were able to finalise. Chris was very patient, he was at all times courteous and professional while showing a caring and understanding side to our needs, and I would highly recommend him.

Superb
Writing one’s Will is never an easy thing to do but Phoebe made the experience so smooth. She was sensitive and listened carefully to our complicated family situation before giving us excellent help and advice. Her knowledge and professionalism are amazing and we are very pleased with the final expression of our wishes.

Dear Grace We’re delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with George and our reception team while completing your daughter’s passport renewal application. Providing exceptional client service is at the heart of everything we do, and being able to offer services such as this to our existing and returning clients is one of the small ways we can thank them for their continued trust in Barr Ellison. Therefore, it is always rewarding to hear that this support has made a difference! If ever we can assist with anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards Barr Ellison Law
Nella Adjahui
Housing & Property
Nella
We recently used Barr Ellison Law for both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new house, and we had an excellent experience throughout. Our solicitor, Cailan Thomas, was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive from start to finish. Buying and selling simultaneously can be stressful, but she guided us through every stage with clear communication and prompt responses, making the whole process much smoother. What impressed us most was the speed and efficiency of the process. From accepting our offer to moving into our new home, everything was completed in under four months, which exceeded our expectations and made a huge difference to us. We are now happily settled into our new home and are very grateful for all the hard work that went into making our move a success. I would highly recommend Barr Ellison Law, and especially Cailan, to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and professional conveyancing solicitor.

Dear Nella, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our team during both the sale of your home and the purchase of your new house. Buying and selling at the same time can certainly be stressful, so it is fantastic to know that Cailan’s clear communication, support and efficiency helped make the process smoother for you. Your kind words mean a great deal to Cailan and the wider team. We’re so pleased to hear you are now happily settled in your new home, and we wish you all the very best there. If ever we can assist with anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Barr Ellison Law
