Would give 10 stars if I could

Joanne has dealt with all my property sales and purchases for many years. She is exceptionally responsive, completely reliable, always completes the task in hand with professionalism and is honest and realistic in her approach. A credit to the practice.

Recently I needed a will drawn up and a lasting power of attorney arranged with regard to my mother.
Chris Hopkins was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in making those problems easy to arrange. It was done efficiently and with care and attention to the detail I wanted.
Chris was extremely friendly and courteous while dealing with the transactions and I felt that the fees were reasonable.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and will be contacting him again if the need arises.

I recently had Butcher & Barlow do some work for me. Chris Hopkins and his team were excellent, professional and very responsive. I would recommend them to others. Other members of my family have had work done and they were equally impressed.
