Awful

Tobias Burrough was appointed Executor by our late Mother. After 7 years of poor communication, poor services, poor admin and failing to carry out their duties, we took them to the High Court and they were removed by High Court Order!!!
Their fees for the last 6 years were zero, as ordered by the Judge. They are currently being investigated by the SRA and LSO.
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Burroughs Solicitors

Under no circumstances will I ever recommend Burroughs Solicitors to anybody after the way they chose to deal with me and my case.

After an initial consultation, and a brief exchange of emails between myself and Toby Burroughs himself, where he confirmed he would represent me in court, he proceeded to completely ignore any further attempts I made to contact him. I had emailed multiple times over the last 3 weeks, repeatedly made phone calls and left messages with his colleagues, each time being told he was unavailable and that he would get back to me right away. This was proved to be completely untrue.

I only got a response from him when I said I would need to start looking for legal assistance elsewhere, and he replied within the hour. Unfortunately he gave me the silent treatment yet again and after another week of trying and failing to get in touch, he failed to show his face at my court hearing today and I had to go in alone.

The outcome of my hearing was not what I had hoped for and had I been represented by someone who actually cared I may have had a different result. To say I feel angry and let down is an understatement.

A lawyer to have on your side!

Toby was appointed to act for me and I am so glad he was. He listened, understood the complexity of the situation, gave excellent advice and was kind and caring. Toby is a criminal lawyer and sometime people like me, who never thought they would need a criminal lawyer can find themselves in difficult circumstances and need help. Toby was excellent, I hope I never need his services again but I do recommend him highly.

A solicitor who knows his stuff

I have had toby Burrough help me on a few occasions I could not recommend him enough! He in my opinion did everything he could to help the truth come out and win me my case I have used him a couple times and going back to toby just proves how safe I feel with him as my solicitor. He says things as it is and I fully respect him for that.

Horrible, unprofessional and unhelpful legal service only interested in money

I have received the most horrible, unprofessional and unhelpful legal service from Burroughs solicitors all throughout my criminal case. There was absolutely no communication and guidance even though I kept chasing. Toby Burroughs was always busy and out of reach. It was sooo much frustration dealing with such a cowboy law firm holding on to Legal aid even though they never represented me, never appeared in court and never even wrote a letter on my behalf. When I said I didn't need their service anymore, they still held onto legal aid so I couldn't go to any other solicitor but had to pay privately.

Thank the good Lord at the criminal case trial, the Judge threw out the case anyway.
Now I know that in every field of work there are those good at thier work and those only interested in the money.
Please avoid at all cost!!
