Backhouse Solicitors Ltd

Used Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford to deal with the Probate of my Parents estate and the Sale of their Property. We dealt with two departments and both were very efficient and helpful, keeping us informed every step of the way. Would highly recommend for their professionalism and how they work for the best result for their client

I’ve recently used Backhouse Solicitors after being dismissed by my employer after over 30 years. I went to them just to get an offer agreement signed that my old firm had offered me. It was Sarina that told me that I had a good case for unfair dismissal and so the process began. Sarina was outstanding from start to finish. She listened to everything I had been through, and our conversations felt like a therapy session as well as legal advice. She was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and always made me feel like she was firmly in my corner. Sarina explained every stage of the process clearly, outlining all the possible options along with the risks and benefits of each approach. Her knowledge and professionalism gave me confidence throughout. After nearly 3 years of going back and forth with the other side (they were proving to be very difficult) we managed to get an out of court settlement over 3 times higher than the original offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Backhouse Solicitors, especially their Employment team, to anyone dealing with an employment dispute. Their support and expertise made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate.

We received a great service from Mr Colin Murphy and his team. Mr Murphy listened to our request and gave us both good sound advice. Overall we are very happy with the service and advice we received.

The work done was very clear and all questions answered even 'spur of the moment' matters were dealt with quickly and effeciently. A friend of my late wife asked if I could recommend a solicitor for Will purposes and I recommended Backhouse. She later advised me that she was more than satisfied with the recommendation.

A big thank you to Holli for her professionalism, understanding and speedy response

I really liked that I could always get through to somebody, and the team handled the work well amongst them. Thank you to all of the commercial team, Nabiha especially, for working through all the issues we faced; it was greatly appreciated.

An outstanding service from start to finish. As first-time buyer, I was unfamiliar with the process, but Robert and Megan guided me through every stage with patience and genuine care. They were always responsive, explained everything clearly, and kept me informed throughout. Their exceptional care and reassuring approach was outstanding!

Absolutely brilliant. So helpful, friendly and patient it was like someone holding my hand and guiding me through what is a stressful situation. (Moving house). Special thanks to Megan, Tegan and Rob.

Having to deal with the passing of both parents last year, we needed help with the setting up of probate, selling the house and all other bits and pieces that needed tidying up. Although the whole experience was stressful, it was made so much easier with the Backhouse team helping us all the way. The communication between the departments and our selves was first class. I would like to thank all the staff at Backhouse and could not recommend them enough Thank you all Regards Neil Harrington

★★★★★ Fantastic experience from start to finish I recently used BlackHouse Solicitors and couldn't be happier with the service. From my very first enquiry, the team was proficient and professional throughout the entire process. Communication was clear, my questions were answered promptly, and I always felt I was in capable hands. Everything was handled efficiently and with real attention to detail — nothing felt rushed or overlooked. I'd have no hesitation recommending BlackHouse Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality legal service. Thank you to the whole team!
