Mohammed was professional and made himself available, he took it upon himself to negotiate additional wording in my settlement agreement to protect me if a group grievance was successful.
He gave me confidence during a difficult time and understood my needs and concerns.

This is the second time I have had dealings with Butcher and Barlow. The first was to set up Power of Attorney for my mother, the second was to arrange Grant of Probate following my mother's death. On both occasions I found B&B to be highly professional and efficient. Ms Remi Kelly was particularly helpful at a time when I was expecting major surgery. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

The team at Butcher and Barlow are a perfect example of synergy. The communication and professionalism of its employees are outstanding. Right down from the legal team through to the reception team who are as equally impressive.
They are friendly and warm but remain professional and straight to the point – translating the intricate details of a complex legal system into a language I can easily understand. Their legal knowledge, speed at which they work, meticulous attention to detail, communication between the departments and ability to think outside of the box are truly impressive, so I feel confident that all aspects of my business are totally safe in their hands. So far, I have employed the services of their phenomenally tough and brilliant litigation department, the extremely detailed and fast commercial property department, and also their wills, contracts and HR departments who leave no stone unturned, protecting my future and mitigating any unforeseen events.
Somehow, they have the ability to be succinct, yet provide a vast amount of pertinent information without waffling. They have always provided regular email updates which sum up the situation, reiterate what has been said, and then clearly state 'the next steps or options to choose from.' Brilliant.
Amazingly, there has never been a spelling mistake or error in all the vast communication we’ve had over the past few years. If ever they propose any work, they always confirm the cost and ensure that I am happy to proceed first. I will never, ever go to any other solicitors’ firm - I have used many other solicitors throughout my life and none even come close to the ability, legal knowledge and meticulous attention to detail that Butcher and Barlow offer. Their professionalism is second to none.
When I first established my business, I will never forget my Bank Manager advising that I ‘invest’ in good accountants or solicitors since they are “worth their weight in gold and ultimately save you money in the long run.” He was dead right.

Excellent and expert service on an urgent matter. We have already had great service from Helen Chadderton at Butcher Barlow. On this occasion Mohammed Balal proved to be excellent. I am impressed with the company, they seem to attract great staff who have a friendly and collegiate manner
