Contentious Will case Success
Michael Cullen worked with us in the resolution of a contentious will case. If we had been unsuccessful in the case it could have resulted in the loss of our home. After a long and stressful period of conflict Michael used his skills to secure a resolution through mediation with the other side. Our home was safe and the security of the family protected.

Brilliant outcome by a very talented solicitor.
Within a week of engaging Bennett Griffin, Mr Michael Cullen had resolved a litigation case that had been in progress for almost five years - without success with previous solicitors. He successfully, and very quickly, negotiated and agreed a settlement figure, thereby closing the case down within seven days of my engagement with Bennett Griffin. I cannot praise this company highly enough and would have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential client. Michael was both professional and extremely knowledgeable.

Contentious Probate
Michael was always professional, courteous and empathetic in dealing with my contentious probate case. From start to finish, he took the time to explain each step of the process so that I fully understood everything. He would answer all my questions swiftly and generally helped me through a very hard time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael in the future.

First class service
Bennett-Griffin LLP handled the lease extension for our flat and the conveyancing for the subsequent sale. It became a protracted and complex process due to the unreasonable behaviour of the leaseholder which required careful and diplomatic handling.
Both Dean Skinner and Michael Cullen put a lot of time and effort into ensuring the matter was brought to a successful conclusion. They were highly professional whilst also being friendly and approachable and easy to work with. They kept us informed and offered advice where appropriate. I highly recommend them and would have no hesitation in using their services again.
