Excellent Service.

5

Sarah and the team were very professional right from the start. I had an initial consultation for a fixed fee outlining what it was I required before committing to anything further.

Everyone involved was very professional, friendly, and they explained every step of the process so I understood what needed to happen, and what would happen next regarding my issues.

I would highly recommend Barr Ellison.

Highly recommended

5

I had a really good experience here, Sarah was so thorough and on the ball the whole time, I never felt without help or advice whenever I needed it. Also, when she was off, the other staff were very helpful too. I found them very understanding and friendly all the way through. If I ever need a solicitor again I’ll definitely go back to them. Thank you once again x Lorraine

Extremely grateful

5

I am extremely grateful to Sarah Martin and her team for myself and my family. I was so fortunate to have Sarah as my solicitor. She was professional, thoughtful, listened with care and of course offered excellent advice. She couldn't have worked harder on my behalf in difficult circumstances and over a short period of time. I could not recommend anyone as much, and would advise looking no further than Sarah Martin.

Really great

Thank you, Sarah, and all involved. You've been really great through all of this. I can't imagine any divorce is totally straight forward but when things were a little stressful you and the team got it sorted.

Cannot thank you enough

Today was my daughter's first day at secondary school. My little girl is growing up too fast but it's thanks to you and your diligence that means I get to share in it first hand rather than from a distance. I cannot thank you enough for all you've done.
