Very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate

I met with Julie for some initial advice about divorce. She was very clear in her communication and put me at ease with her calmness and compassion for my situation. I would definitely recommend her.

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.

Advice received over more than 20years from Blanchards Bailey on dealing with a family Trust, probate matters, purchase and sale of property. Jerome Dodge has also advised us on estate planning, wills, powers of attorney and establishment and registration of protective Trusts.

Mostly 'On The Ball' But not always

Dealing with Wills and Trusts, Jerome is as always clear, professional and inventive . Dealing with the Conveyancing Department was sometimes more difficult and frustrating. We had quite a lot of house matters this year and we found it hard work. However the jobs got done to our satisfaction in the end.

House purchase

Laura was excellent throughout the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home.

We felt well supported from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend Laura.

Boundary Dispute

I recently had a serious dispute with my neighbour after she cut a large hole in my mature hedge, this hedge had been properly maintained by me for 15yrs and formed a screen between our two properties. It was clear to me, that I would have to instruct a Solicitor to get this issue resolved. I spoke to Blanchards Bailey LLP, and was directed to Ben Jones and his team in the company’s litigation dept. Ben listened intently to my sad tale of past issues with this difficult neighbour, and the current problem that I was experiencing. After gathering the relevant evidence he entered into communication with my neighbour, pointing out detailed areas, where the law had been infringed by her actions, and how this issue could escalate to an expensive legal action. I was fully supported, and kept informed by Ben and his entire team of professionals throughout the whole process. Which ended quickly, with my cost's being paid in full! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Blanchards Bailey LLP, and their litigation team, and would like to thank Ben Jones, and his very capable team.
