Polite and efficient throughout our house move.
Very pleased with the service we received. We were kept up to date at every stage and even when we encountered some snags Rheanna was very calm and helpful.

Formal Registration of EPA
Sophie and her assistant Nicola have been excellent in their attendance. The EPA process was conducted professionally and expeditiously. I and the family would like to thank both for their undertaking and compassion during this difficult time following my mother’s double strokes and deteriorating condition.

Blanchard Bailey
I needed several legal things that needed tackling, so having used Blanchard Bailey in the past I looked first at the Shaftesbury Office. It was a surprise and disappointment to me to find that I had to deal with the Blandford office, but I did decide to go ahead. My only comment on the services received is disappointment that I couldn’t complete my business more locally. However, I did find everyone that I did deal with, especially my lawyer Emma Needham, very professional, professional and pleasant and I am grateful that I was not pressured as I did need time to consider things.

A very disappointing service from the Probate department - not sure if it was a case of too many clients or a culture within the company - it felt like our file would come to the top every couple of weeks, one task would be done (or just considered) and back to the bottom of the pile it went. Only when a formal complaint was submitted did any concerted action happen. This laidback approach wouldn't work in any other profession. The management needs to look at how Probate applications are processed, with weekly checks and updates for all clients.

Solicitor Natasha Long made a complex and lengthy probate as straightforward as it could be. She was clear, informed and organised at all times. I would definitely recommend Blanchards Bailey.

I was recently sent a Notice from another Solicitors, concerning my fathers Lasting power of Attorney. I wanted to get some clarification and advice on the implications of the notice and reached out to Blanchards Bailey to help. Jerome Dodge was excellent and explained what the Notice meant and offered some options on how to proceed. Jerome was very sympathetic at what was an emotional time for all involved. Excellent service and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
