Thank you

Dealing with Buckles Solicitors LLP is always a positive experience for me. I was recommended them in 2023, when they helped my mother sort an issue regarding her french property. In June 2025 my mother sadly died and Buckles, in particular, Sally Dilks and Lea Maynard have been tirelessly helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with and have been guiding proceedings with the French notaire in a smooth fashion. I couldn’t be happier with everything and I 100% recommend Buckles, especially if you own a French property. Thank you for everything

Hi Francine, It is wonderful to hear Lea Maynard provided the guidance, care and expertise needed throughout the process, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly with the French notaire. Thank you for leaving us 5* review and your kind words.

French estate

Following the death of my husband, I was faced with the issues of dealing with transferring title of our jointly held French property (a very small house) into my name only and subsequently the sale of the house. I had no knowledge of the stages involved or how to approach them. These difficulties were compounded by a very unresponsive Notaire in France. Lea came to my rescue, explained the process and various stages involved and undertook the negotiations with the Notaire. It transpired to be a long process (although I now understand that it is inevitably much longer than in the UK) but Lea chased and followed up with the Notaire, resulting in a successful transfer of title and sale. This help and advice was invaluable. Always professional but kind, understanding and empathetic. Someone on whom I could rely. With my sincere thanks to Lea and to Buckles.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

probate not done.17\04\2023 - 31\12\2024 still waiting.

Don't use them for probate or will related, they take advantage of the situation. 2yrs still no closer to probate. Billed me for them calling a wrong number, billed me for them writing to wrong address, billed me twice for a clerical error on their part. Still no probate sorted. Take advantage of you grieving for lost ones. Save your money and find a better solicitor.

European estate planing

Extremely poor service. We sought advice from them as the said the were experts in cross boarder matters. It quickly became clear that they were not. We sought advice on the question of Brussels 4 and not once were they prepared to address the question. The only time it was mentioned was to say they couldn't address it without a fee. We paid the fee to find out they had no idea wanted to ask our french notaires for advice. We asked for a refund which was refused. Now we have to proceed to ombudsman and failing that small claims court. This is a pint of principles and I refuse to back down until I get a full refund. Avoid this firm.

We had a very happy experience with Buckles. Vicky dealt with probate for my Dad's estate and did so in a very efficient way, working around some time constraints on my side, and was extremely helpful in guiding me through my responsibilities as executor and answering my many questions. I have nothing but positive things to say about that.

Buckles managed to sort out a bank problem after my Mum died, they were very professional, up front with the costs, kept me up to date with the process and got the job done with a successful outcome. My Mum lived in Tenerife and I had been trying to get this sorted out for two years, Buckles were recommended to me as they experts in dealing with inheritance from overseas.

We had the pleasure of working with Julia at the Peterborough branch of Buckles, and we are absolutely delighted with the service she provided. Julia made the process of creating our wills straightforward and understandable, taking the time to carefully explain everything and answer all our questions. Her attention to detail and thorough approach gave us confidence that everything was in good hands. What impressed us most was Julia’s willingness to offer thoughtful advice and go above and beyond in ensuring we had considered every aspect of our plans. We truly felt that she had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Julia for anyone seeking professional, reliable legal services—she’s an outstanding solicitor

Employment

Jason Pradham is excellent - highly reccomend

Jason provided excellent support during a very stressful employment matter. His advice was clear, practical and strategic, and his guidance on the legal position and negotiation approach was instrumental in helping me achieve the outcome I did. He quickly helped me understand the options open to me, explained the risks in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me approach the process with much more confidence. I really appreciated not only his technical knowledge, but also his calm, thoughtful and human approach throughout. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone dealing with an employment dispute, especially if they need clear advice, strong strategy and practical judgement.

I found Buckles following a recommendation online and had an excellent experience. Claire S provided thoughtful, knowledgeable and reassuring advice at a challenging time. Her expertise and clear guidance were hugely helpful, and I felt very well supported throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire and Buckles to others.

Over the last 2 years I have used Buckles Law for various reasons including conveyance, contracts and most recently for advice and help with employment issues. My initial email queries were promptly answered. Everything was done in a friendly and efficient manner. I highly recommend Michelle Bruce for matters pertaining to employment law for her timely promptness. I recommend Buckles for the breadth of their expertise in all areas of law for which I sought their help.
