Great service - highly professional and effective

I sought advice from Megan on a contested County Court matter with a number of technical difficulties concerning the legality of the Plaintiff's claim, the nature of the claim and the details of the claim. She took time to ascertain the facts and gather relevant information before addressing the technical issues. She had a great understanding of the technicalities of court proceedings and dealt with the other party quickly and effectively. In addition to knowing the law and technical procedures, Megan also understands the tactics of litigation. She managed my case to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Megan to anyone needing litigation advice.

After 3 months of review and after posting countless documents out at our own cost they dropped our case, due to legislation that did not apply to the building we are purchasing. They provided little to no context & were unresponsive.

I called regularly to request updates and no one was ever available to discuss the case on the phone. Blunt emails were all we received in return.

Very unhelpful & incapable of processing even the most basic cases. Do not use!

A big thank you to Marissa and the team at Blackhurst Budd. Made my house purchase as smooth as possible and we completed very quickly. Marissa was always on top of communicating either on call or via emails and was very professional during the whole process. Can't fault Blackhurst at all. Thanks! 5*!
