Excellent Service - Highly recommend

I can’t praise Asim Din highly enough for his support and dedication in handling my commercial dispute case. The significant outcome was a direct consequence of his tenacity and tactical acumen. An outstanding professional giving clear and balanced advice. Fully explained the risks and options. Gave clear directions, invaluable recommendations and kept me informed every step of the way. All-in-all an excellent Lawyer and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing support with a commercial dispute.

We have used Butcher and Barlow for several pieces of work recently, including shareholder agreements, work on Companies House and also commercial lease work. Specifically, Andy Mackenzie was superb in his advice around our new office space, and Jonathan Alderley was extremely helpful in ensuring that our shareholder provisions were set up appropriately and accurately. Both ensured that our work with them was low touch and very easy. 10/10

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Turner and his team, and I must say, they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. From the moment I reached out it has been nothing short of amazing. Mark's expertise and knowledge in his field are truly commendable. He provided me with frank and honest advice, which I greatly appreciated. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided me with clear guidance on the best course of action. He was always prompt in responding to my queries and kept me updated at every step of the way. I never felt left in the dark or confused about the progress of my case. I cannot recommend Mark Turner enough. If you are in need of a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients, look no further. Mark's expertise, honesty, and exceptional service make him an outstanding professional in his field. Thank you, Mark, for your invaluable assistance.

Having given the maximum score for Communication, Initial Impressions, Approachability, Documentation Accuracy, Legal Knowledge, Service, Competence and Value for money et cetera it is necessary to quantify the reasons in doing so. With my world being turned upside down without any notice and not knowing which way to turn, I approached Caroline Cockill-Guy (Partner of Butcher & Barlow, Northwich Office) whom I had had an extremely positive legal experience with in the past for help and advice. From the onset I was put at ease and a plan formulated to address the issues in a truthful, professional and forthright manner. The efficiency in prompt communication and attention to detail in following this set plan by Caroline, with Debbie and Carol in support at the Butcher and Barlow LLP Northwich Office was the primary key to win the case. It is acknowledged that delays can take the ‘wind out of the sails of a case and lose momentum and flounder. Not once did I experience this all too common problem that others raise of their chosen legal representatives. It could be stated that Caroline Cockill-Guy and her team gave me the answers before I asked the question, all phone calls and emails were returned within minutes not hours or days. This approach unnerved the opposition solicitor whose motives and professionalism was extremely questionable thus contributing to them losing the case. It is a fact that Caroline and her team have set me on a path to a much happier, healthier and brighter future which I cannot thank them enough and will always be indebted to them for life. If asked would I recommend Caroline and her team, my answer would be a resounding unhesitating yes, apart from if the person asking for a recommendation was my opposition that is. This is a true review. Peter Jackson

Thank you Peter for taking the time to leave this wonderful review for Caroline. We are very pleased that your experience of our Firm was so satisfactory; our staff will be happy to read your comments. We set a high standard for ourselves and are pleased that these were met in your interaction with our Firm. So thank you for your kind words and we look forward to being able to assist you again.

My family could not recommend Greg enough. He has been a brilliant solicitor to us throughout our legal dispute over our share of our late mother’s property and succeeded in making sure we received our portion of the sale. We couldn’t have gotten through the dispute without his help. Highly recommend.

Excellent Service and Smooth Lease Extension Process

Kelly provided an excellent service throughout my lease extension process. She kept me updated at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. The whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, including dealing with my mortgage lender and the completion formalities. I really appreciated her attention to detail and support throughout what could have been a stressful process. I would happily recommend Kelly to anyone needing conveyancing or lease extension work carried out.

Completion of Litigation

I was very thankful that Thomas Sedley and Emily Scott took over a litigation which had been badly handled by another pair of solicitors in a different firm of Bury solicitors. I am now delighted to be able to say that I am a very satisfied client of B&B because Sedley & Scott outlined their plan at the outset and carried it through as quickly as the local Manchester court could process it.

As a first time executor I felt rather lost and stressed about dealing with my late aunt’s estate. The task was rather tricky in that there was no original will, just a copy. Helen Chadderton at Butcher and Barlow did a great job. She handled the job with professionalism, explaining the options, and keeping me updated on progress. Thank you to B&B, and Helen in particular.

My brother and I appointed Butcher & Barlow as our solicitors to advise and support during the administration of probate on our late father's estate. Our parents had previously used this company for approximately 25 years and had full trust in the firm. Butcher and Barlow, and in particular Samuel Dale and Jenny Brown, along with the rest of the team, proved to be knowledgeable, helpful and very supportive at such a difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending Butcher and Barlow and will use them in the future, should the need arise. Their help was very much appreciated.
