I was supported by Sanat Roye during the writing of my will. Sanat was extremely professional, and provided me with relevant advice. Sanat was also so friendly and approachable, and I appreciated this on the sensitive matter of writing my will. I would highly recommend Barrett & Co Solicitors as well as Sanat Roye for anyone who is looking for similar advice on writing their will.

I dealt with Susan Hilary Buckle (who has looked after my parents and both my husbands and my earlier wills) and also Ella D'Alton. Both Hilary and Ella were not only extremely professional but took a lot of time explaining to me what my updated Will should reflect with regard to Inheritance Tax. They didn't mind how many questions I asked and were so very professional and also friendly and approachable. I had lots of meetings with them and nothing was too much trouble. I can't thank them enough.

Iqra and Mark were truly exceptional. They were thorough, kept us informed, responded to all our many queries, and their communication and responses back were always clear and very detailed (as well as prompt). This was by far our best experience with property solicitors. Highly recommended. Thank you Iqra and Mark!

I was recommended to contact Barrett and Co when I urgently needed a new will after the death of my husband in June 2024. We also asked the firm to help with submitting our Probate application, which was done in January 2025. Throughout these two processes, my family and I have been impressed by the helpful, friendly and efficient team at Barrett and Co. All communication has been clear and timely, as has been the production of the Will and the Probate application. I have great confidence in the team who worked with us at the firm, am most satisfied with their 'service' and have already recommended them to several friends.

Barrett and Co managed my mothers estate and the selling of her property when she died. From the first meeting they were professional with constant updates and timelines. Within 11 months we had completed the estate accounts having gone through probate and sold her house.
I always got a prompt response to my queries and felt they were proactive in their whole approach. I would thoroughly recommend.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Ranjit Siddle and their team throughout my divorce proceedings. From the very first consultation, I felt supported and reassured. Ranjit demonstrated deep legal expertise, offering clear guidance on every aspect of the process while maintaining a compassionate and understanding approach during what was an emotionally difficult time. They were always prompt in responding to my queries, kept me informed of all developments, and ensured that my interests were protected at every step. Their professionalism and dedication made a stressful situation much more manageable. I would highly recommend Ranjit to anyone in need of a trustworthy and skilled family lawyer.
