Highly recommended solicitor

Mohammed has been working with us for almost half a year, he has been incredibly helpful and professional throughout everything. He has consistently kept us in the loop and was always honest with any questions we had for him. Without his help we wouldn’t have been able to get the answers we needed. Would use them again if I ever needed to.

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.

Beyond excellent

The immediate response from Alex following my cancellation of our first meeting told me all I needed to know about trusting Alex. I rebooked soon after and still can’t believe the level of care & support I received over the next 1.5 yrs. My divorce was deliberately made difficult & lengthy by my now ex spouse. Nothing phased Alex as she navigated me through the whole process, offering options & strategies that only someone with her level of compassion & experience could do. During face to face meetings I found Alex to be friendly, patient and completely committed to finding out my exact wants & needs. Due to Alex’s commitment to communication, I can honestly say that I felt truly supported rather than stressed during the whole divorce process. I needed to ensure I received half of what I had invested into my 30+yr marriage otherwise I wouldn’t be able to survive in the future. This involved securing a sealed financial order which I felt was gained expertly by Alex, on my behalf. I am now happily divorced and currently purchasing my own home. My future is now secure & I will be forever thankful for Alex’s unwavering support and outstanding expertise in ensuring the desired outcome for me.

Big thank you to Tiffany for helping us navigate the situation. Tiffany is very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Tiffany and her team were very approachable and always responded to our queries promptly. A very upsetting, worrying time for us was made much more bearable due to their great customer service.

Commercial rent arrears

Butcher Barlow were recommended by a friend. Paige Lester became our appointed solicitor. From our first telephone conversation. I was impressed with her knowledge and speed in finding the right pathway for us too follow to obtain the required result. My experience of solicitors has never been amiable. Except for now. And I would highly recommend Paige. Thank you.

Case handled quickly and professionally

From the initial enquiry all the way through to completion, Alex and her team handled my case efficiently and professionally, advising me every step of the way, sometimes going above and beyond the initial remit. If they felt I should reassess an instruction they would indicate this but left up to me to decide. Even after the case was closed, Alex contacted me to check everything was OK before finalising everything. Extremely competitive rates and an excellent firm to do business with Would highly recommend

We have used Butcher & Barlow to buy our new house and as first time buyers they have been great at explaining the whole process and also keeping us in the loop. We didnt feel the need to chase for updates as we knew they were working hard to get our house sorted and gave us plenty of updates when we did ask as we were unsure mainly due to the sellers. Thank you to Amanda, Freya and Megan for your help with this process and being so patient when we know our process was not the easiest.
