We used Brockbank Solicitors to draw up Wills and to organise our LPA documents. We dealt with Lisa Miller who was professional and gave clear advice. She supplied us with great legal knowledge to allow us to make the correct decisions for us. I would highly recommend Lisa and Brockbank Solicitors.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that Lisa provided professional and clear advice, and that her legal knowledge helped you make informed decisions. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Excellent advice from start to finish. Efficiently prepared our draft wills and answered all our questions clearly prior to final review and execution. We would strongly recommend contacting Lisa Miller if you wish to write or update your will.

A very pleasant, professional, punctual experience. The office was welcoming, and dealing with the matters in hand, was a very good experience. I would definitely use this company again.

All staff were helpful and professional.
Thank you Keith for your review. We are pleased to hear that our entire team provided the helpful and professional service we strive for. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
Brockbanks administered an estate of a relative who had drawn out a simple will logged for an estate under £100k (with no property) logged with Oglethorpe and Broatch years before it had been taken over by Brocklebanks. The paperwork was all copied and handed over. Whole experience was a list of unanswered calls having to be chased, going over nearly two years. In the end it became clear the trainee solicitor Brocklebanks allocated was unable to complete simple tasks and even claimed there was no will. Leading to internal complaints and parts of the process having to be redone. The delays meant that one recipient (who died shortly after the process ended) never really saw the benefit of their inheritance could have provided them. There seemed to be a complete lack of supervision of trainee solicitors doing probate. Very unhappy with the service and attitude. Just because they are the only solicitor left in Keswick doesn’t mean they exclusively deserve your business (which will be generally allocated to another office elsewhere by the chain). Better and quicker solicitors are out there in other towns nearby. If you have to use them for your business, copy every bit of paper you send as your record, note everything you call them to chase and keep every email you send. Unfortunately Google review won’t allow unstarred reviews so reluctantly they have been given 1 star
Excellent . Needed a couple of papers witnessed and signed . Josephine was brilliant many thanks
Dear John, Thank you for your kind feedback. We're glad Josephine was able to assist you promptly and professionally. Best regards, Brockbank Solicitors

Achieving this has taken a weight off our Minds thankyou very much for your support & guidance Regards John Tinnion

I have used the Whitehaven, Workington & Cockermouth branches of Brockbanks & my experience has been positive. They have worked hard for me. If I need a solicitor in the future I will be using them again. William Graham.

I had a very positive experience with Brockbank Solicitors. They dealt with my matter quickly and professionally. I was honest about my situation, and they listened carefully, understood the problem, and found a practical solution. I felt supported and taken seriously throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them.
Many thanks for the kind words Lukasz. We're pleased you were happy with the service provided.
Brockbanks have assisted us with many legal issues, most recently a conveyancing matter. Honestly the service and legal advice was FIRST CLASS! I would highly recomend them! Communication was prompt. Advice was astute and client focused. Paperwork was clear and easy to understand. Cost's were fair and reasonable. Most of all we felt protected and in safe hands. So yeah, I will be using them again.
