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!

Legal representation

At a very stressful time they represented us in a family matter. Throughout the whole proceedings they were completely professional, kept us informed at every stage and supported us on the lead up to and throughout the court proceedings. All staff involved with our case were friendly, courteous and respectful.

Boundary dispute

Engaged with Thomas Travis of Butcher Barlow after having used other members of the team on a successful business sale project a few months earlier. We had an ongoing dispute with a local developer on the property boundary and Thomas proposed a strategy that ultimately achieved a successful outcome that satisfied our boundary protection requirements. Thomas and his colleagues were supportive in their updates and feedback but also encouraged our input on the programme's strategy.

When selling our house, Kay and the team were very knowledgeable and guided us through the process with ease. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The office was always a hive of activity but you were always seen and treated as if you were the only ones that needed help. Great service and value for money, thank you.
