Excellent service from Emma

I approached Brachers to assist me with updating my will and putting in place powers of attorney. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Emma Hegarty who made the whole system 'human', efficient and uncomplicated. I would highly recommend.

I am very pleased with the Service I have received from Brachers. Arranging my Will and LPA following my mothers passing and her additional ongoing issues seemed like a lot to take on in one go but everyone at Brachers was approachable, patient and understanding with me while I got my head around it all. By the time the paperwork was completed I felt that a good thorough job was done and I was glad to have left it in Brachers hands. Thank you.

Brachers is great! I contacted them for help with estate issues after a family member passed away. Paige Hinkins and her team were of tremendous help with this. They were highly professional and courteous, and were able to help me with every issue I was facing. (Full Administration of the Estate, and much more). I would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

Very slow and limited communication. I've had to prompt Emma several times to chase Clare to get results and comms. Not Brachers usual calibre of staff.

Brachers did outstanding work on our family's complex asbestos-related personal injury claim. The Brachers Team guided us through a difficult process with real expertise and compassion, kept us well informed with regular meetings and emails, and reached a settlement that brought us real relief and closure. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
