Easy to communicate with and straight forward

I used Stephanie to deal with my late partner's probate. It ended up being a lengthy process due to hmrc. Stephanie was amazing at dealing with them and keeping us informed. She wasn't scared to challenge hmrc when needed. I would highly recommend her. Many thanks.

My Will and Peace of Mind

I recently had my Will done by Emily Shearing. I cannot say enough about her professionalism in every manner. She explained everything I needed to know clearly in person and in email communications. The process was smooth and the entire team made me feel extremely comfortable and valued even down to the cup of tea. Emily was recommended to me and now I wish to highly recommend her. She is brilliant! Thank you kindly for your outstanding service and it was my pleasure to deal with you.

I am incredibly happy with the service I received from Rosie Smith. She has done a fantastic job helping me finalize everything, handling all the details and updates so efficiently. She made the entire process clear, straightforward, and completely stress-free. I really appreciate all her hard work and would highly recommend both Rosie smith and the firm to anyone looking for excellent legal support.

We have used Burt, Brill and Carden for our last 3 house transactions and they have always been personal, timely and professional in their services. Compared with other solicitors in our chains they have always looked superior.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided to me by Burt, Brill and Cardens Solicitors and more specifically Courtney Pearce in the conveyancing of my late Mother's property to its new owners. I was very touched by the compassion with which I was treated as my Mother passed away part way through the sale process. Many thanks.

I recently engaged the services of Burt Brill & Cardens to make my will - a task I’d been putting off for ages. The solicitor, Rosie Smith, made the whole process simple and straightforward. She understood my concerns, explained the clauses and technicalities and guided me throughout. I had a face to face meeting and one more to sign the document and she kept me informed throughout. I would recommend this firm and Rosie wholeheartedly.

I have used Burt Brill and Cardens Solicitors several times through out 12 years now. Always professional, courteous and consistent. For buying and selling properties and also for wills and POA. I have never been disappointed, information is forthcoming without having to chase and their concern for the client is robust. A special mention has to be said for Victoria Fletcher. What could’ve been a very stressful and emotional purchase and sale due to personal circumstances and of course the normal delays and bumps associated to this process was made painless and as smooth as could’ve never imagined thanks to the hard work and genuine care for me as a client by Victoria. I’d recommend using Burt Brill and Cardens Solicitors every time. And if you’re lucky you’ll get Victoria assigned to you.

Thank yo for your kind words and for your praise of Victoria. We were very pleased to act for you again.

Excellent service

I have worked with Emily on a couple of different matters. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, respectful, patient, responds in a timely fashion and both matters were successfully concluded. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would highly recommend her work to anyone.

What a horrible experience. “You will pay a bit more but you will get the service”, they said, well we did and we didn’t. Supposedly competent in dealing with ‘Lifetime Mortgages’ we went to this Firm for that reason. We should have realised how bad things were going to be, when the first batch of forms and paperwork were sent out to someone else in error. We then endured months of poor communication by inexperienced staff, and to be honest at times what felt like incompetence. The considerable stress of moving home was only compounded by this Firm. Never again!
