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.

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.
