New solicitor for me

This was a new solicitor for me. I was very pleased to have such helpful and forthright advice and appreciated all the sensible help that was offered. I was particularly pleased with the help they offered about the letter of wishes. All in all I was very grateful for their kindness in all their discussions with me and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my family, friends and acquaintances.

Excellent service

I am currently using Barker Gotelee for legal services required following the death of my father. This has prompted me to write my own will. So, at age 62 myself and my husband engaged the services of Thomas Woodlee. Thomas was approachable, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in understanding what we needed.

I have always found Lindsey to be very professional and well informed. Pleasure to have meetings with her. I know I can always contact her with any issues, which she responds to quickly. I can't make a full comment on value as I have not received the account yet and I go away tomorrow so will post today.

I went to Barker Gotelee Solicitors to do my Power of attorney. The solicitor that dealt with it was very efficient. There's plenty of parking and the offices are on the ground floor. I can recommend them.

We used Rebecca Dixon and Barker Gotelee to re do our Wills which had not been looked at for 25 years. From the inital contact through to final completion our whole experience was one of professionalism. Rebecca was highly knowledgeable and helpful. I have no qualms in reommending Barker Gotelee for Wills.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it. We're so pleased you were happy with the service you received and will be sure to share your feedback with Rebecca. If you require any other legal services in the future, please get in touch, we'll be happy to help.

I cannot recommend Grace Smyth at Barker Gotelee highly enough. Grace recently represented me in a stressful employment matter and was brilliant from start to finish. She is thoroughly professional, gives clear and realistic advice, and has an incredibly reassuring, grounded presence that helped immensely during anxious moments. She always took the time to explain everything clearly, was highly responsive, and made the entire process feel completely manageable. Her guidance was exceptional throughout - I highly recommend her. Thank you again, Grace.

My conveyancer sent me here to get a piece of paperwork sworn. Although I had no appointment, they were able to fit me in at short notice. They were gracious about it, when they could have sent me away. (My conveyancer hadn't made the effort to ask them if it was ok, first on the phone.) The newly qualified lawyer was very nice about it & made me feel welcomed. It only cost me a £5 too. They seem like nice helpful people.
