Review of Barr Ellison Based on Many Years as a Client

I have been a client of Barr Ellison for many years now and have used their services in a large number of cases ranging from conveyancing, wills, trusts and other legal deeds. These have mainly been dealt with by members the Wealth Team. Nevertheless, all the solicitors I have dealt with have been excellent. They have responded quickly and efficiently and always kept me fully informed. I would most highly recommend Barr Ellison for all types of legal advice. Barr Ellison also represents excellent value for money

We used Barr-Ellison, and specifically Cailan Thomas, for our house sale in Cambridge. We are in Australia, and so good communication has been very important for us. We’ve had online, e-mail, and also one face to face meeting. We had one offer withdrawn and eventually a second offer came through. It’s been smooth, professional, personable and friendly. 👍
