Brilliant from start to finish

Casey Ashton dealt with the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new house and has been excellent throughout both! Communication was brilliant as was the efficiency! Wouldn’t use any other solicitor’s and would highly recommend Casey personally!

Experience Review

I have used Butcher and Barlow now on several transactions after them being recommended to me. My solicitor is Nick Ball who I would highly recommend. Nick is extremely approachable, is readily available, responds quickly, even at weekends, makes everything clear and simple and is extremely knowledgeable and highly competent - I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Outstanding Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicolas Ball during the sale of a small piece of land, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. From start to finish, Nicholas demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication.

Nicholas guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. I felt that all legal aspects were meticulously handled, giving me peace of mind throughout the transaction. Communication was seamless; Nick was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making the entire experience stress-free.

What truly stood out was his attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Their strategic approach and thoroughness were instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful sale. I highly recommend Nicholas Ball to anyone in need of legal support for property transactions. Their exceptional service and dedication are truly commendable.

Outstanding and Sympathetic Service

This review is for a different branch.

I initially made contact with Sophie Nicholson in order to seek deputyship powers in respect of my; wife who had been admitted to a care home as a result of rapidly deteriorating Alzheimer’s disease. Sadly, my wife passed away before we could complete the process. Sophie then undertook to complete the process of probate on my wife’s will. This has now been completed.

Throughout the process I have received outstanding service. Communication has been prompt and clear. I have been treated with the utmost respect and empathy, making a sad and uncomfortable process as painless as possible. I cannot overstate my appreciation of the help I have received.

This review is for a different branch.

I received excellent service from Asim Din who responded to my cold-email request swiftly, kindly reviewed my information and had a very productive conversation. The advice provided was honest and it was clear Asim was thinking in my best interests as a potential client.
100% recommend.

Brilliant experience with Casey Ashton at Butcher & Barlow when buying a house.
Kept me updated throughout, clearly explained what paperwork was required. Took time to explain and reassured when I asked for clarification. Made herself available and was quick and efficient. Highly recommend. Thank you so much

After a very stressful and costly experience with another law firm, I was worried that I wouldn’t find a good solicitor to help me with my dispute. After calling several firms, I had an initial call with Thomas Sedley and felt comfortable with him immediately. He clearly explained what steps he would take to get the caveat on my probate application removed and was transparent about estimated costs. He was also very professional, personable and empathetic, which made the decision to instruct him even easier. I was impressed with his prompt action and after only a couple of succinct and effective emails to the person who lodged the caveat, it was withdrawn. This was a huge relief as I anticipated the dispute would drag on for many more months.
I highly recommend Thomas for dispute resolution and I would be happy to use Butcher & Barlow again when I need further legal help. Thank you!
