Thank you

A huge thank you to James Duncan and Shannon Kehoe, assisted by Harriet Mentern on occasions, for all the work you have done over the past two years dealing with the will, probate and administration of my late Mothers` estate in a sensitive and professional manner, without losing the personal touch. Communications with us have been clear and regular, advising us of any next steps to take. Queries have been answered promptly. I would have no hesitation in using you again or recommending you to act on behalf of others.

Estate of Late Father

My wife and I have used Blanchards Bailey for a number of years for all our family affairs. They are by far the most professional solicitors we have come across and will continue to be used by us and all our family members. Specific thanks go to all the team especially to James Duncan and Jerome Dodge.

A truly first-class service

I had an excellent experience with Claudia and Sam and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Communication was outstanding throughout the process – they were always quick to respond, keeping me informed at every stage. What really stood out was their professionalism and persistence when dealing with what proved to be a particularly difficult conveyancer acting for the seller. Despite the challenges, they remained proactive, chased matters when needed, and worked hard to keep the transaction moving forward. Their efficiency, responsiveness, and dedication made a stressful process much easier. A truly first-class service from start to finish.
