The pricing was clear from the start (a % of the estate) so there was no ambiguity or anxiety. Katie Murray was attentive, diligent and responsive

Excellent Service.

I needed some advice and support in putting a will through probate and from the very start Clifford Johnston were amazing. Their costs were explained upfront and once appointed, Katie, our case solicitor, explained the process and kept us updated regularly to it's conclusion. I can't recommend enough.

Professional and Knowledgable

From the first meeting till the last, Shane was polite, professional and extremely helpful. He dealt with any questions that we had in a timely and efficient manner. Even though we had a couple of hiccups with the probate along the way, Shane’s calmness and patience made the whole process stress-free for us. Highly recommended.

New will

Katie at Clifford Johnston and Co helped me with my new will. She listened to my wishes and advised what was possible. Her advice to have a younger executor made perfect sense, especially as I'd never have considered it. Katie was totally professional but I felt like it was a friend helping me.

Putting a Will In Place

Katie is very knowledgeable and understanding, patiently explaining everything to me & making the whole process of Will making seem very clear and straightforward. She also offered lot’s of invaluable advice several months prior to my last appointment when I called in to collect my deceased mother’s Will, she is very professional and possesses an extremely warm and caring personality which puts you at immediately ease. For anyone seeking the services of a solicitor I would recommend Katie Murray wholeheartedly!

Dealt with Katie Murray. She provided an absolutely smashing service. She tended to my very urgent requirements and resolved my issue so quickly. She remained very friendly and professional during the trouble I was having and reassured me everything would be sorted. 10/10 service. Absolutely gem to Clifford Johnston.

A client

Shane was not only technically knowledgeable and brilliant at what he does, he helped keep me sane at what was one of the most traumatic times in my life. He seemed to have an abundance of empathy, support, sympathy, respect and provided you with the best advice for what was happening. No matter how stressed I got or how much I was dealing with - Shane was there for you, not just to provide technical expertise but with giving useful advice and tips. I can’t recommend him highlight enough. I’d have no qualms in recommending him to others and it was an honour to be his client too. Thanks so much Shane! I am living my new life with my boys in Brum! :-)

In the last year, they have dealt with probate for me, the sale of two properties, the purchase of my dream country cottage and also the drawing up of my will and they have been very professional, helpful and did everything in good time and also communicated well. I would highly recommend the solicitors there.

Criminal Defence

We cannot thank Jared enough for the outstanding support and professionalism he showed throughout a very stressful time for our family. From the very beginning, he was prompt in answering calls, always kept us fully informed, and explained everything clearly and patiently. He never left us waiting or worrying, and always got back to us quickly whenever we had questions or concerns. Jared was extremely thorough, professional, reassuring, and completely on the ball throughout the entire process. His calm and confident manner gave us a great deal of reassurance when we needed it most. We genuinely felt that he cared and went above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an excellent criminal solicitor. His dedication, communication, and professionalism were second to none, and we are incredibly grateful for all of his help.

Support with DBS Minded to Bar statement

I wholeheartedly recommend Jared McNally at Clifford Johnston. The online discussions were handled very sensitively, which I was very grateful for given my low mood. Communication was clear and responses very quick. I was assisted to understand each step of the process and was very happy with submissions made on my behalf and received the result I was hoping for. I could not have done this on my own. I highly recommend.

Horup khan solicitor

We have had the best experience with cliffordjohnston&co burnage , horup was our solicitor and ensured that our house sale was complete within 3 months. He was very efficient and thorough and helpful in the entire process. Given this was our first home purchase, we were very nervous and unsure of some things and he was very helpful, alongside his team and very upfront with costs from the get go.

Dear Khadijah. Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that Horup and the team made your very first home purchase such a smooth and positive experience. Buying a first home can certainly be a nervous time, so we are glad Horup’s efficient, thorough, and helpful guidance—along with our upfront pricing—put you at ease and got everything completed within three months. Congratulations on your new home, and thank you for choosing us.

WOW! Natasha is literally the best solicitor. Super kind, responsive, and easy to get a hold of. She also took the time to explain things to us as it was the first time we sold a house and we needed a bit of extra help. I'm sure we wouldn't have got our sale done in as speedy of a manner if it wasn't for Natasha. Recommend to everyone! (and we literally have!)

Horup Khan handled our recent property sale and purchase in an exemplary manner. His clear and quick communication throughout the process was much appreciated, particularly as it was not the most straightforward house move. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to move house.

We bought and sold our house through CJ Law and had a very positive experience. Horup was great at managing our case and was responsive to emails and queries we had.
