Important life decisions need proper professionals

Life happens but sometimes not as planned … my divorce 🥲… but professional empathy and the elephant in the room 😏 cost …. didn’t know what to expect but compared to others in similar situation… well recommend… and because of my experience returned for Will ( update will ) and powers of attorney… personable, empathetic, respectful, and I’d go so far as to say … kind … yes , these services aren’t cheap .. BUT my experience with Blandford Bailey has been/is truthful, honest and absolutely ‘no rip off solicitor firm’ … in my opinion would be interested to see if u find better …. Lastly… THANK YOU

Laura Martin was very professional from the beginning. She gave myself and my wife all the information clearly with a follow up call to each email. Anybquestion was discussed with myself coming away with a clear understanding. I would highly recommend Laura to family and friends. Thankyou. Kind Regards. Richard Aldred.

Wills & Contested Probate

My brother and I were subjected to unsympathetic and unreasonable demands from this awful firm, resulting in mental health problems for us both. The firm didn't stop the disposal of our parents items like their wedding photo album, or our fathers' collection of fridge magnets from all over the world by a third party. We feel they failed to protect our interests and ignored complaints made. Do NOT write solicitors into your Wills or let someone who knows a member of staff in a solicitors' firm to influence family members' choices and ignore concerns raised!
