Superb professional advice

George Flanders guided my husband and I through a recent Overage transaction provision in a thoroughly professional and straight forward manner. We were impressed with his legal knowledge, attention to detail and explanations of the situation. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending George for any such matters.

Outstanding Service and Genuine Client Care

Greg Porter is truly outstanding and a real asset to Butcher and Barlow. From the outset, he has consistently listened with great attention to detail, ensuring that all key information is captured the first time, I’ve never had to repeat myself, which speaks volumes about his professionalism and focus. His service is always professional, efficient, and highly responsive. Greg clearly prioritises his clients’ best interests at every stage, and this is reflected in the high standard of service he delivers. I would highly recommend Greg Porter and Butcher and Barlow to anyone seeking reliable and dedicated legal support, without hesitation.

After a very stressful and costly experience with another law firm, I was worried that I wouldn’t find a good solicitor to help me with my dispute. After calling several firms, I had an initial call with Thomas Sedley and felt comfortable with him immediately. He clearly explained what steps he would take to get the caveat on my probate application removed and was transparent about estimated costs. He was also very professional, personable and empathetic, which made the decision to instruct him even easier. I was impressed with his prompt action and after only a couple of succinct and effective emails to the person who lodged the caveat, it was withdrawn. This was a huge relief as I anticipated the dispute would drag on for many more months. I highly recommend Thomas for dispute resolution and I would be happy to use Butcher & Barlow again when I need further legal help. Thank you!

Our experience

We feel that the guidance received in choosing the different options was explained very clearly and with transparent potential costs. At all stages communicates were excellent and the complexity of the legal documents were broken down and simplified for our understanding. From beginning to end everything was dealt with. Not knowing how to proceed with the Deputyship and the full assessments required we were more than pleased with the results and outcomes. Due to this we carried on and completed both our wills and Lasting Power of Attorney ensuring we are covered for the near future. Thank you.

Feedback.

This practice was recommended to me by a neighbour friend of 27 years standing who had, along with siblings and in-laws used them a number of times over the years. I found SMN to be very affable with a sense of humour, easy to talk to and who asked pertinent questions about things I had not considered.
