It was great to work with Colin and the Backhouse team.
The issue we faced was complex, but Colin and the team helped us navigate a path to a successful conclusion. I would certainly recommend Backhouse Solicitors for a wide range of legal issues.

Tina and Colin recently assisted my Grandmother with her will. She assures me that she cannot fault their service and professionalism. They took her through the process step by step ensuring that everything was explained clearly and concisely to her. Thank you.

I am so grateful to Colin for his help with my new will. He was approachable, understanding and clear at all times, and executed the whole process speedily and efficiently. From the Receptionist’s warm welcome each time we arrived, Backhouse feels a really friendly company with a genuine ethos for client care. Our whole experience was thoroughly positive and we would recommend Backhouse without hesitation. Thank you to Colin and his colleagues.

Fantastic solicitors. Colin was great, helpful at all times and made himself available if we needed questions answered. We used Backhouse to settle an estate and for conveyancing as well . Both departments were efficient and did things in a timely manner. I have recommended Backhouse to friends and family already.
