BRILLIANT SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH

5

We needed a solicitor initially to help with Probate but,in particular, we needed someone who would guide us about Trusts for our grandchild whose father had died. Chris was brilliant. He helped us negotiate the whole process and we were happy to instruct a colleague to manage the property sale too. I'd say a special thank you to Paula who, at the end of a phone, never made us feel that our questions were anything other than welcome. We'd never go anywhere else.

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.
