Highly professional support from dispute to mediation

I am incredibly grateful to Lucy Mignot for her perfect representation during a very difficult inheritance dispute. From the very beginning, she provided excellent legal advice and managed the case with outstanding professionalism. Thanks to her expertise and strong guidance leading up to and during the mediation, we achieved a fantastic resolution. I felt supported and well informed at every stage. I highly recommend her services to anyone facing a contested estate matter.

Estate Administration and acquiring the Grant of Probate

Our experience, after having instructed the team at Blanchards Bailey to assist us through the process of estate administration and acquiring the Grant of Probate for a deceased family member, was very positive indeed. At every stage the staff were exceptionally helpful and approachable. Each enquiry and request, no matter how trivial, was answered courteously and quickly. As a result of the professional expertise and efficiency of the team looking after us we were able to move through the process at pace.

Civil Dissolution process

I arranged a consultation with Laura Martin. This hour consultation was at a reduced hourly rate. It was well worth the money because meeting Laura I could see she was professional but also able to deal compassionately with what are inevitably tricky and stressful cases. I also met her secretary Paula Olive who was always available if I needed to speak to her on the phone, in person or promptly replying to emails. Both individuals clearly have a professional approach but are also approachable and empathetic, helping me to reach an agreement with my x partner rather than encouraging excessive legal intervention. Total confidence in Laura and her whole team.

Will Dispute

Lucy Mignot and Brook Carter worked efficiently together to help conclude a case that garnered a far more productive outcome than could possibly have happened without their professional knowledge and support. Lucy is formidably well informed, and rigorously thorough. As Lucy's colleague, Brook was consistently helpful and informative. Am grateful to them both for their assistance, and can highly recommend their services.

Meggie

I required a legal document to be certified; I contacted Blanchards Bailey Solicitors in Weymouth. Meggie, the lady who certified the document was so very helpful and went above and beyond the basic certification. The Weymouth office on the Granby is easy to get to with ample car parking. I will be returning to Blanchards and Bailey for my other legal work. Vanessa
