Professional Service

We needed a short notice appointment and Laura was able to find us a convenient time for what we needed. Advice was clear and email communication kept us appraised of progress. A follow up appointment completed our current business, again at a very convenient time. We found Laura and other members of the Burnett & Barker team to be professionally friendly and easy to work with. As a business their rates were clear from the start and acceptable to us.

I have recently updated my Will with Henrietta Brett of Burnett Barker. I found her to be very professional and pleasant to deal with. She came up with some good ideas and also signposted us to Government online forms re Lasting Power of Attorney which was helpful. Overall, the service offered was good value for money. I will be using Burnett Barker again.

A true ally in difficult times

My proceedings have been particularly protracted and complex, yet throughout Melanie has been amazing. Melanie has seen me through the roller coast of emotions that Family court brings about. Empathetic but not afraid to state matter of fact in how things are. Even when the reality of the nuances of the Family court and legal system beggar belief! Highly organised and swift to react to crisis, Melanie has taken a great deal of the worry away from the day to day events that have been a constant concern throughout proceedings due to dealing with a very hostile and manipulative Ex partner. I feel that without Melanie's help, support and guidance, I would have had much poorer hearing outcomes and the relationship I now have with my Daughter would have been far more significantly impacted. Thank you Melanie!
