Recently I needed a will drawn up and a lasting power of attorney arranged with regard to my mother.
Chris Hopkins was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in making those problems easy to arrange. It was done efficiently and with care and attention to the detail I wanted.
Chris was extremely friendly and courteous while dealing with the transactions and I felt that the fees were reasonable.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and will be contacting him again if the need arises.

I recently had Butcher & Barlow do some work for me. Chris Hopkins and his team were excellent, professional and very responsive. I would recommend them to others. Other members of my family have had work done and they were equally impressed.

I had a will drawn up and needed some estate planning assistance and cannot recommend Chris Hopkins highly enough. He was professional, patient, erudite and helpful. Also friendly and concerned to ensure I got exactly what I needed. The fee I considered perfectly fair for the excellent service I received.
