Threw his business card at us like play cards

John Burton himself has no customer service skills what so ever. It was like a 70's comedy sketch. The room was like a Victorian TV set. He rose from his chair and as he did the arm came off his captains chair.
No professionalism.

Helpful and responsive staff

I had reason to use John Burton Solicitors in Stone three or four times in the past year and a half, with help relating to a family member's estate. Each time I visited, the staff were happy to help and were positive and professional.

Avoid. Couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat

An absolute disgrace. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. We have been waiting for 5 years for a will and probate to be sorted. John Burton never answers the phone or call you back, doesn't remember meetings, and has just really not done the work he was appointed to do as an executor and solicitor. He is listed as an executor of the will and has billed us for 2 hrs work over 5 years. Basically guys Ive done nothing but for it to sit in my office and collect dust I want something for it. Disgrace. Wouldn't use them to make a coffee let alone anything else. Disgrace.

AWFUL. Nigel Rostance. I'm writing this here in the hope that people will read it and not end up in the same horrible situation we are. It's been mistake after mistake. We have had to do the majority of the work ourselves and have relied on the estate agents to communicate between us and our buyers and sellers because Nigel has just been so unreliable and slow. Then when we made an appointment to come and sign documents at the office with him because we didn't trust him to send them to us competently, we got to the office, in a pandemic, so you really only want to be going out for essential appointments, he wasn't there! He had apparently forgotten to put the appointment in his diary! Completely incompetent. Avoid.
