Matthew Briggs

Tagged solicitor Matthew Briggs

Matt has been supporting me on a number of highly complex legal issues since the unexpected passing of my husband last year. He has tackled each issue with the utmost professionalism. He gives sound, objective advice & is very responsive, dependable, thorough and empathetic. I don't know how I would have got through the last year without Matt on my side.

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

I honestly cannot recommend Michael highly enough. The professional and empathetic support he provided, made the most difficult time of my life, more bearable. I enlisted Michael's help when my partner died without a will. We owned a house together, and, as you would expect, our lives were inextricably linked. I did not know where I stood or what would happen, which felt very scary at a time when my world had already been turned upside down. Michael takes a holistic approach to his cases, expertly advising on the legalities but also taking account of the emotions of the situation. After our first meeting, I immediately felt more informed on the situation and also reassured that whatever was going to happen I would have Michael in my corner to help. His communication was excellent throughout and very proactive. In the end, everything was resolved amicably but the peace of mind it gave me knowing I had Michael to help was invaluable to me. I honestly don't know how I would have coped without his advice and support. Thankyou Michael
