Purchase of paddock

We engaged Butch and Barlow to purchase some Agri-Land. Tom was assigned and remained a single point of contact through the whole process. He was easy to contact and communicate with and was very clear about what I needed to do at each stage. I would have no hesitation in working with him / the company in the future.

Superb professional advice

George Flanders guided my husband and I through a recent Overage transaction provision in a thoroughly professional and straight forward manner. We were impressed with his legal knowledge, attention to detail and explanations of the situation. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending George for any such matters.

I have used Sam Dale at Butcher & Barlow for a number of legal matters and have found the service provided by him and the other staff at the office to be exceptional. He was professional yet approachable and has put my mind at rest. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

My family could not recommend Greg enough. He has been a brilliant solicitor to us throughout our legal dispute over our share of our late mother’s property and succeeded in making sure we received our portion of the sale. We couldn’t have gotten through the dispute without his help. Highly recommend.

As a first time executor I felt rather lost and stressed about dealing with my late aunt’s estate. The task was rather tricky in that there was no original will, just a copy. Helen Chadderton at Butcher and Barlow did a great job. She handled the job with professionalism, explaining the options, and keeping me updated on progress. Thank you to B&B, and Helen in particular.

My brother and I appointed Butcher & Barlow as our solicitors to advise and support during the administration of probate on our late father's estate. Our parents had previously used this company for approximately 25 years and had full trust in the firm. Butcher and Barlow, and in particular Samuel Dale and Jenny Brown, along with the rest of the team, proved to be knowledgeable, helpful and very supportive at such a difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending Butcher and Barlow and will use them in the future, should the need arise. Their help was very much appreciated.
