5-star review

This review is for a different branch.

I cannot recommend Jessica, my employment solicitor, highly enough! From our very first interaction, she was incredibly informative, clearly explaining every step of the process and all my options in a way that was easy to understand. Beyond her impressive legal knowledge, Jessica was consistently friendly and genuinely understanding. She listened attentively to my concerns, offered empathetic advice, and made a potentially stressful situation feel manageable. It was a true pleasure working with her, and I'm so grateful for her expertise and support.

A conscientious, professional and patient gentleman

This review is for a different branch.

When I first encountered Adeeb, I was less than happy with the conveyancing experience. Calls and emails were taking too long to be answered at a stressful time. Adeeb took over my property sale and the improvement was marked. A great listener, he was highly professional, always doing what he promised and promptly too. Honest and personable, he was there when I needed his advice and assistance. I would not hesitate to recommend Adeeb if you are considering selling your house.

Highly recommended

This review is for a different branch.

There are no words that can fully sum up my gratitude to Carolyn McPhee from Balfour + Manson LLP. Throughout the arduous six years my case went on for, Carolyn was at the helm of it and kept in contact with me constantly. She let me know the next stages of the process, how things were progressing and would answer any questions I had- no matter how big or small. Nothing was ever too much work or a hassle to Carolyn.
It sounds very cliché, but it was due to Carolyn’s continuous support and determination that I managed to carry on through the lengthy and weary process of my case.
Carolyn is an absolute credit to her profession and I cannot Thank her enough for all that she done for me.
I highly recommend Carolyn McPhee as she makes you feel extremely at ease from the beginning, even when discussing areas that aren’t easy to divulge.

Kirstyn Logan was ever cheerful, making the selling of our late mother's house a less impersonal and more positive experience overall.

Quality with a great approach

This review is for a different branch.

Kirstyn made the process of selling our property an easy and stress free experience. She was on top of the brief, accessible and responsive to our questions and to top it all off, she was friendly and approachable.

We had a negative experience with another firm in the past and so its great when you have such a good experience, with the confidence and trust that Kirstyn brings.

Heartfelt thanks to Ann Logan

This review is for a different branch.

I highly recommend Ann Logan. Ann is an outstanding solicitor who has been professional skilled, and incredibly supportive throughout my entire engagement with her.
From the outset, Ann has understood my concerns and supported me with kindness, reassurance, and empathy. Our case was complex, with many challenges and barriers raised, but Ann stood by me every step of the way.
Her communication was always clear and compassionate, and her dedication never wavered. Thanks to Ann’s perseverance, our case recently concluded with admissions of several breaches of care. A deeply significant outcome.
Ann truly understood how important this case was and respected my wishes throughout the process. Her unwavering commitment and refusal to give up, despite the adversity we faced, meant everything to me.
There were moments when I questioned whether I should have even started this journey. While no outcome will ever bring my son back, Ann’s support from beginning to end has given me a measure of peace and resolution after many painful years. She and her team made this possible.
I would also like to acknowledge the team at Balfour Mansions for their valuable contributions and ongoing support alongside Ann.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I write this review. Ann Logan has been there for me on a truly profound and personal level, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a solicitor.

Amazing company, first class litigation team. If your looking for a solicitor that can pull out all the stops then look no further than michaela guthrie. She won me a personal injury claim which was very tricky to say the least. Communication skills were second to none. Also very understanding and caring. Well done michaela. Keep up your amazing work..

I Would like to thank Fiona Muirs for all the hard work she put in to my case.
It was a long and lengthy process however, worth it in the end.... (Nothing to do with fiona)
I was always made aware of what was happening and Fiona communicated with me all the way through.
I felt so relaxed speaking to Fiona and she always listened.
Thanks again Fiona.
