We initially left a message on the web site and received a quick response. An appointment was made and our subsequent dealings with our contact - Katie Elsdon - was professional and polite. The legal aspects were well explained. All aspects pf our dealings with Birkett Long were very satisfactory.

Emma Clarke provided excellent service. She was both professional and friendly in her manner; accommodating in her outlook and helpful throughout.
Everything took place in a timely fashion, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma to all.

We were told elsewhere that a longstanding PoA required registration with the OPG.
We consulted Emma Clarke and she was able to explain the requirements and to help us with the procedure.

We recently visited Emma to discuss changing our Wills.
Emma was very personable and professional throughout the whole process and it was easy to understand her clear and honest advice.
We were impressed with her refreshing approach in understanding our needs and ensuring our requirements were accommodated.
We would definitely be recommending Emma to our family and friends.

Als mein Schwager in England vor 3 Jahren verstarb, standen wir vor der für uns völlig neuen Aufgabe, eine Erbangelegenheit im vereinigten Königreich regeln zu müssen. Über einen Freund in Chelmsford kam ich mit Birkett Long in Person von Emma Clarke in Kontakt und Emma übernahm sofort die Aufgabe, uns gegenüber allen Stellen zu vertreten.
Emma regelte alle Angelegenheiten juristischer, steuerlicher und finanzieller Art bis hin zur Veräußerung einer Wohnung in London zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit. Die Zusammenarbeit war großartig - wir wissen nicht, wie wir die Sache ohne die Unterstützung von Emma regeln hätten sollen.

Easy process with Emma and the team, even with some moving parts during the changes and meetings.
This was my second time updating my will with Emma, and she was helpful on both occasions.

Ridhi visited me in hospital several times to help with a new will. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, providing information to help me set out my wishes. She also advised on Inheritence Tax and Pecuniary Legacies. At all times she was polite and considerate of my requirements.

I have just posted on facebook my account of dealing with probate 8 years ago when my darling husband passed away.As I had done our taxes myself the years my husband was ill , I knew, of course, our exact financial situation, but had still decided to use Birkett Long in the final stages of probate.The best decision I could have made.The best professional firm I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Thoroughly knowledgeable,quick, honest.The recent publicity Re the astronomical fees banks charge for dealing with probates brought back the memories.I had no access to internet then,my sentiments now are as strong as 8 years ago.
