'I have had several dealings with Butcher and Barlow and they have always been excellent. The firm is local to me and has an excellent reputation which is why I originally chose to engage them. The solicitors and support staff who I have had contact with are all friendly and knowledgeable and do an excellent job of representing the firms values.’
‘I engaged the firm for my most recent dealings which included writing wills, probate and estate queries and also a settlement deed for which Samuel Dale undertook all activity. Samuel is extremely professional, knowledgeable and efficient. He carried out all works to an extremely high standard, was easily contactable and provided impartial advice and guidance to me during an extremely difficult time.’
