This was the second business that we have purchased using Marc as our solicitor. Both times the service has been excellent and he has been great to deal with. I would absolutely recommend Aldridge Brownlee.

I would like to congratulate Clare for being so kind and helpful when my husband died last year. I found that she was very helpful with all the paperwork entailed as well. Also her assistant Marie helped me as well. Thanks to both of them and the ladies on the desk.

All together we are very pleased with the outcome of finished Wills. Jo was very helpful and explained in plain English some things which we did not completely understand. Very quick and easy to get appointment for signing etc. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommended and professional solicitors. They have different branches specialising in different areas of the Law. They saved me an enormous amount of money on probate, purely as they know what they are doing. Highly recommended.

If you're looking for Aldridge Brownlee to set up an Enduring Power of Attorney to ease the burden and ensure local support for a family member don't go anywhere near this firm. They will tell you how professional they are and it's no trouble, but over the course of almost eighteen months I finally got the EPO set up, but they couldn't even get a bank account set up over the course of 4 months. They didn't even manage it by the time the person whom it was supposed to benefit passed away. I provided them with £500 to open the account and upon advising them it was no longer needed they kindly sent me a bill for...£500! So £500 for complete incompetence. Steer well clear

My experience with Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors was outstanding. I live in California and Aldridge Brownlee did an amazing job of handling the conveyance of my sisters property. Even when we hit a couple of
Bumps in the road they were quickly sorted. I would highly recommend this law firm. I would like to add a huge shout out to Sarah Louise Course who is spectacular at communicating. Sarah wasted no time in getting back to me. I’m not the most patient person so Sarah is definitely a must if you expect a streamline experience. Samantha Skinner
