Great Support and Fast Resolution for Landlord Dispute

During a stressful landlord dispute, I contacted Barrett & Co Solicitors for legal advice. Their team responded promptly, offering immediate support and understanding. From the first meeting, they provided sharp, insightful legal advice, clearly explaining complex legalities I hadn’t understood. They also astutely assessed my situation, offering practical guidance on managing a challenging tenancy issue. Thanks to their expertise and strategic approach, my case was resolved in just one week. I would confidently turn to Barrett & Co again for any future legal needs

Excellent Support by Sanat Roye

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.

Updating of my 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.

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.
