Would highly recommend Alex Ross and Bell & Buxton

Appointed Bell & Buxton (namely Alex Ross) as our solicitor for a business acquisition. Alex was extremely diligent, approachable and professional throughout the process, and acted as a strong advocate for our business in the transaction. Responses were timely, well communicated and work was delivered to a very high standard. Fees were made clear from the start and different options provided (fixed fee vs hourly rates), and once agreed this was adhered to. I would highly recommend Alex and Bell & Buxton for merger/acquisitions.

Court of Protection advice

Bell & Buxton have dealt with my Court of Protection application and on going Deputyship. I couldn’t be happier with their service. Jane Statham in particular, is superb, Jane is incredibly understanding, patient, and always available when I’ve needed guidance, and I’ve needed lots of guidance through this long and complex process. . I wouldn’t have coped without her professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend Bell and Buxton and Jane in particular for any services involving the Court of Protection. Thank you, Jane for your exceptional support.

Very supportive

Simran was very approachable and supportive during this difficult and lengthy process. She answered my many questions during this confusing time, both by email and over the phone and paperwork was dealt with seamlessly, even with me living out of the country. I would recommend Simran.

Highly Recommend

Robert Johnson has recently represented me for an inheritance act claim. I contacted him after searching the internet for a recommended, experienced solicitor with good reviews. My case has been resolved through mediation, and I could not be happier with the result. Robert is a very experienced and knowledgeable solicitor with great understanding and consideration. Him and his team worked diligently for my case, kept me fully informed throughout, and guided me to make the right decisions. I absolutely recommend him for anyone wishing to make a similar claim.

Very pleased with Alex Ross of Bell & Buxton

We have used Bell & Buxton for a number of different legal services so when I realised I was out of my depth trying to sort out a share change issue myself (because no-one wants to pay for legal services if they don't have to) I turned to Alex. Wow, he made it so easy! I was so glad we used his services, he knew things that I didn't have a chance of knowing, and has completed the job very painlessly. The quote was reasonable and we are very happy with the service.

Please please avoid this firm at all costs!!
It took over 2 years for a probate case (which they didn’t even finish as we got so fed up with it we ended it unresolved) We experienced months of them ignoring emails for updates, no communication, high staff turnover, and little care or acknowledgment that behind this “case” was a family grieving and waiting for closure on a terrible chapter of our lives.

When I raised a formal complaint I was still ignored, no apology, no explanation of how or why we were being ignored and they were more concerned about protecting themselves. I CC’d in every partner of the firm, so that they were all aware of our terrible experience. Still, no acknowledgement. They just don’t care.

To top it all off, when we received all the paperwork on record it included paperwork of another customer including this persons confidential details.

A terrible firm, with partners at the top who think they are above providing satisfactory customer service and are happy to bill and pay themselves out of the estate while you wait months for an email response. AVOID!!

We have used Bell and Buxton three times now and have had a first rate experience each time. David was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. It was a pleasure working with him and we would thoroughly recommend.

I would not recommend. The firm has taken on too much work without enough resources.

I used this firm for a house sale. Sam and Lucy missed some checklist items and were unavailable when needed. All ended up getting resolved and pushing through, but it was a very stressful experience.

Also, I reported my frustrations to the firm and Sam. Sam was arrogant and borderline rude, but the office manager was very kind.
