From start to finish I found Burnett Barker solicitors and Henrietta Brett very professional, yet friendly and approachable. Henrietta advised me about preparing my Will in an easy to understand and straightforward manner, giving sensible and honest legal advice. I felt comfortable asking questions. It was a smooth and painless process and I was kept fully informed of each stage as the Will progressed. I was advised of the cost from the outset. I would definitely use Burnett Barker again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have used Burnett Barker previously to update an older Will so used them again after the death of my husband. Henrietta Brett provided me with information which was very helpful in preparing my new Will. The Will was prepared and I was very happy with it. It was a very easy process and was completed quickly. Excellent advice and service.

Having obtained a fixed fee quote, I instructed Burnett Barker to assist in the sale of my parents' former home, as Executor of my late mother's estate. Demonstrably professional, knowledgeable and approachable. The matter was concluded in a timely and responsive manner within the quoted amount, and with no shortcomings. I received clear, honest and practical communications throughout. Thank you and well done to all concerned.

Priscilla Ivory is a friendly and very competent solicitor. She was happy to guide us and listen to our concerns, offering advice as to the best way forward, but not dismissing any of our questions. There was no pressure. It was a relaxed and productive meeting. Would highly recommend this delightful, professional lady.
