Amazing, fast, responsive service.

I had an excellent experience working with Mohammed. From start to finish, he was highly professional, approachable, and dedicated to helping me with the transaction as quickly as possible. He was very responsive to my questions and emails. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident in his expertise. The level of service I received exceeded my expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. I only wish I discovered him sooner. Thank you for all your help.

Very Helpful and Timesaver

I have been struggling with the Council and being passed around from different departments to sort out a lease and wanting to just get on with my business and earning some money. This has been going on for literally MONTHS. I instructed BMTC and within a few days Mohammed managed to get a dialogue with the Council and resolved everything very quickly.

I don’t normally leave reviews.

I would like to thank you for your detailed work, professionalism and patience in preparing the lease.
I sensed your frustration with dealing with the SIPP, as I too found them most unhelpful. You persevered and got the matter concluded.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you.

Used a wonderful lady called Carly Arthur, really down to earth, knowledgable and switched on. Easy to park and in a nice part of Northampton. Lady behind reception is chatty, nice to look at and talk to. On the whole the experience was very nice and I came away with a warm feeling inside, knowing that things will get actioned.

About this branch

Description

Borneo Hughes Martell had been a well-known name in Northampton since the early 1970s although its history as a Bedford based law firm can be traced as far back as 1869. Since 1982 it had based its practice in offices that had formerly been the science block of Notre Dame Convent School in the town centre. The firm Turner Coulston was formed in 1993 when local solicitors Keith Turner & Ashton merged with Leo Coulston & Co and continued business from the Billing Road offices that Leo Coulston & Co had occupied for many years. In 1996, the firm acquired the legal practice of Clark & Co in Kettering and then incorporated Hodson Margetts, solicitors in Raunds in 2004. Today, the 9 partner firm of Borneo Martell Turner Coulston and its total staff of around 50 people across its offices in Northampton and Kettering offers a comprehensive legal service to both commercial and individual clients. We have a strong team of lawyers and support staff enabling us to offer our clients expert advice in a broader range of areas.
