Excellent
Myself and partner was involved with another firm of solicitors for approximately two years, we had an absolute nightmare with them nothing was moving forward and solicitor involved would not respond to calls or give any updates, and time was of the essence as my partner had alzheimers, so we took the decision to speak to Alex Williams after she was referred to us by a family friend, after speaking to Alex we decided to move everything over to Butcher & Barlow.
Alex very kindly agreed to take on a very complex case that had been ongoing for approximately two years, Alex kept us updated every step of the way and had achieved more in first couple of months than that of the other solicitor in two years.
Alex was very easy to speak to and very understanding of our circumstances, Alex showed compassion to my partner and would always involve him with any discussion/decisions when we met in person, Alex would always show patience when he wasnt having his best days, I would always get a response to my calls and emails no matter the query and without fail, Alex made our life a little easier when she agreed to take us on as clients.
I trusted Alex to do what needed to be done and I could concentrate on looking after my partner, sadly after some time my partner passed from alzheimers, even then Alex came to our home with flowers, card even a big hug and to pass on her condolences, she didn't have to do that but it just shows the type of person she is.....
I'm extremely grateful to Alex and all the staff at Butcher & Barlow for everything but most of all for being understanding and patient of Billy's needs.
I highly recommend Alex and those at Butcher & Barlow, so much so I am a client again with Philip who is dealing with different matters.
I don't think I could use another firm now, especially after all the trouble we had previously.

Divorce
I was initially with the runcorn branch but due to my solicitor leaving the company I was transferred to the Frodsham branch. Both are about the same travel time so no real issues. Alex Williams took over my case and she was amazing always ready to give me advice be that good or bad. She helped make some difficult decisions easier to swallow by explaining everything in extremely simple terms. If I ever need a solicitor again ( I hope not ) I'll be back!

Parental rights
Alex was fantastic with my case, really helped me understand everything going on from start to finish, was always available when needed along with Valerie assisting. Made this emotional endeavour a lot easier and smoother for me and I am very very grateful thank you.
