Excellent Solicitor
From my very first phone call to the conclusion of my aunt's estate, I found Jess to be very professional, competent, kind and understanding. I thought that I was going to be very stressed with all the complicated paperwork, but Jess made it stress free with her friendly and helpful manner.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Jess to any friends or family that may be in need of a solicitor.

Wills
Jess at Birkett Long was very helpful in helping us make our wills earlier this year. We only had basic knowledge of the process and we found Jess to be friendly and approachable. Everything was fully explained to us and our questions were responded to promptly. Very pleased with the service provided.

Extremely Professional
Having used Birkett Long, and in particular, Jess Birch, over the past 18 month's or so, during the most traumatic and difficult time of my life, Jess made things as simple as they could be with her dealings with our situation, and left me feeling completely confident that I was in good hands.

PROBATE
Jess Birch dealt with the IHT form regarding the probate documents of a relative's estate.
At all times she and others in her team were friendly and helpful in answering my questions. What I particularly liked was where I disagreed over something in the tax due, she listened to my concerns and we worked through it to the right conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone and would be happy to use them again.
