It was not the experience I expected walking in to a solicitors, all the staff made me feel at ease and were very helpful. Kelvin was really down to earth and easy to talk to, I instantly felt at ease and felt confident in having him fight my corner and give me advice. During a very stressful time I feel a massive weight off my shoulders. Thank you!

Nicola was very helpful in sorting out my complicated divorce. I had previously been with a different solicitor but it was not working out. Nicola helped me find a good solution as divorce had been drawn out too long. I managed to keep the family home and get a pension sharing order in court. Very good service

Highly recommend- Louise Burn Solicitor

After months of negotiations involving the legal process of a transfer of equity, loss of two buyers and my husbands medical emergency as we were close to exchange, I can only feel gratitude, appreciation and relief for Louise in her expertise and guidance through what was a very tumulus selling and buying experience. We have relocated as retirees to rural Somerset which is an undertaking in itself after living in Bournemouth a lifetime and in the same property for 18 years. Louise always returned prompt reply’s to emails and returned with a phone call to gather more information or check in as needed - no stone was left unturned! On our competition day we arrived having hired a three day removal service to find our seller in disorganised chaos ! Louise was at the end of the phone to advise and reassure and then called a few days later to check - in and see how I was. I cannot recommend highly enough- you will be in very reliable, trustworthy , safe hands with Louise. Thank you Louise.

Could not have managed without her

Clare and her able assistant Marie were so helpful to my wife and I who were Executors of a very detailed and complex will. We were given good advice from the first time we met with Clare right until it was finalised almost 3 years later. The efficiency and level of service that we received could not have been better

Absolutely — here’s one that highlights how fast and efficient they were: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. Everything was dealt with incredibly quickly and efficiently, communication was excellent and I was kept up to date throughout the whole process. Whenever I had a question, I received a response almost immediately, which made everything so much less stressful. They worked swiftly to get everything completed and I felt completely confident that things were being handled properly. Professional, reliable and genuinely fantastic service. I would highly recommend them!

My experience with Alexandra Kirkpatrick as my solicitor when selling my first property was excellent. Alex asked if I had any needs and I said I had aniexty, and since that point Alex made the stressful journey of selling extremely bearable and easy. The prompt responses to my emails and speed/efficiency was faultless. I highly recommend if you’re looking to buy/sell a property to engage with Alexandra, for she will not only make a stressful time manageable. But the speed in which Alex works at will push your sale/purchase to completion extremely quickly. Thank you again Alexandra Kirkpatrick I can’t thank you enough.
