I had a wonderful experience using Birkett Long! Leah was recommended to me by my dad and was excellent throughout. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, she was clear and precise and carried out my wishes exactly as I wanted! She referred me to the financial department for an issue relating to my late wife’s estate and they’ve already been in touch. Have a fantastic Christmas! J

Excellent service
I came to Birkett long to get lasting power of attorney advice.
Something I think we all put off as it seems a daunting prospect.
David enabled this process to be very straight forward. He explained every step in a clear way using terminology that I could understand.
David had a manner which immediately put me at ease but was also very professional.

We have used Alison Bear at Birkett Long for all of our conveyancing and have always been extremely happy with her work. In our most recent sale / purchase which was at no point straight forward she was nothing short of brilliant, she kept us updated, responded to various third parties extremely quickly at what must have been an incredibly busy time for solicitors with the stamp duty holiday deadline. We would certainly recommend Alison and Birkett Long for any conveyancing.
A representative from Birkett Long LLP responded to this review on 22 March, 2021:
Thank you so much for your 5 star review Tom. I'm delighted to hear that you had such a good experience. I will pass your comments on to Alison and her team. Kind regards Jen

A few months ago I was contacted by Birkett Long asking me if I wished to review our joint wills. I put it off, hoping we could have a normal Christmas first. That didn't happen! I then went back to them and was invited to talk to David Feakins, a solicitor in the practice. As instructed by Boris the office was closed but David made all the arrangements to have Microsoft Teams meeting for my wife and I.
I think we all worry about how much it will cost to go to law but David made it quite clear up front how much the various options would cost and the fact that he wasn't charging by the minute for his time on line.
We now have two wills which I think will give the best deal for our beneficiaries and hopefully avoid swallowing up the whole estate in care home costs.
Incidentally he also gave me some free advice about LPAs which will save me a few bob!
Thanks David, and well done

Thank you for your 5 star review Nicola! I will pass your kind words on to Jemma and the team. I hope moving day went smoothly and that you're now settled in your new home. Jennie

We experienced a brilliant service from Birkett Long. Holly dealt with our debt collection issue so well. We were always well informed with the perfect amount of guidance and a great result at the end of the process. I always assumed these things would drag on for some time but the issue was resolved so quickly.
