I can not fault the high quality service I have received from this wonderful team of professionals. I have used Blanchards Bailey for property sales previously and my parents have always used them for legal matters. They have always been very friendly, approachable and excellent at what they do. Julie Keogh looked after all matters concerning my recent divorce, including child arrangments and financial matters, court hearings, arranging barristers etc. She has been superb. Julie put me at ease during our initial consultation and has continued to show great empathy, support and compassion alongside excellent legal advice during a very emotional time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm.

I've used Blanchards Bailey now for several matters, including drawing up our Wills, handling the sale of our flat, and also seeking a Grant of Probate for my father's Estate. I am happy to state that on all matters, they have delivered an excellent service, and I have found their entire team to be very responsive, informative and a pleasure to deal with.
