Having used Burt Brill & Cardens before, I wanted to use their services again to help with the sale of my flat, and move to my new home. Madeleine made me feel at ease, was always quick to respond to all my questions, both via email face to face and kept me up to date throughout the process. I admired Madeleine's professional approach and thorough detail within the intricate nature of works carried out. I felt reassured and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you Madeleine!

Faultless service from beginning to end. I had been putting off dealing with a lease extension for a long time for fear of stress - this turned out to be completely unnecessary thanks to Jayne. A clear, quick, calm and professional service coupled with a modern and human touch (Jayne was so approachable and kind). You can tell that they want the best for you and really care. What a breath of fresh air - can't recommend highly enough. Thank you Jayne.

Excellent and prompt legal services received. Jayne was very quick to answer queries and I felt in safe hands. Everything was done through email and I was able to pay over the phone. She negotiated with other party solicitor without need for a meeting. Would definitely use again. Thanks for making this a pain free experience!

Madeleine was absolutely brilliant during the process of purchasing our first home.
As first time buyers we were unsure of the process but she explained things very clearly from the start and was always very prompt to respond.
She also ensured that we were able to complete by our preferred date which was very appreciated.
We would have no hesitation in recommending her and will certainly engage her again should we look to sell in the future.
Thanks so much again Madeleine from Alice and Lewis - you were great!

We have just completed on the purchase of our first bought home together. BBC came as a recommendation through a friend in the property business. We were very happy with Madeline and her team, especially when they had to deal with an unadopted road, which took more time and work. I would certainly recommend them as they were thorough, professional and worked diligently on our behalf

After worrying about making a will for several months I researched solicitors for expats and Burt Brill and Cardens was the first solicitor I looked at. I completed an initial questionnaire and was contacted within a day by the company, had an on line meeting with the brilliant Emily within a week and my will was completed within 3 weeks maximum. I wish I'd done it much sooner

I came to Burt Brill and Carden with a simple question about what my rights were, and right from the start Daisy, Mia and their team have been absolutely fantastic at helping me work out the issue I had relating to Trusts. Everyone is so patient, kind and ready to listen and offer very good advice making sure you know all the options, and let you decide how you feel you may wish to resolve things. It was so great to have such fantastic women 'on my team' so to speak. Thank you so much to everyone at the firm!!

I can’t thank the team at Burt Brill & Cardens enough for their professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support throughout what was a long and challenging legal battle. From the very beginning, they were not only incredibly knowledgeable and efficient, but also genuinely compassionate and understanding of my needs as someone with autism.
They took the time to explain everything in a clear, straightforward way that made the whole process so much easier to follow. Nothing ever felt rushed—they always made sure I felt comfortable, listened to, and fully informed before moving forward with anything.
Their patience, empathy, and dedication made a world of difference during a very stressful time. I truly felt supported every step of the way, and I’m so grateful for everything they did for me.
A special thank you to Daisy Tester and Mia Dixon—your support, kindness, and guidance meant more than words can say. You both made such a difficult journey feel so much lighter, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Burt Brill & Cardens to anyone looking for legal help—especially to those who need that extra bit of understanding and care.
Thank you so much!

Daisy at BBC Law was extremely helpful over a long period for a difficult inheritance matter.
Her advice and tireless work on my case has brought me much valued peace of mind.
I will be forever thankful for her hard work in resolving my matter.
Her responses were always prompt and informative and I cannot recommend her enough.

Absolutely Outstanding – Once Again!
This is my second time using Burt Brill & Cardens Solicitors in Brighton, and once again, they exceeded all expectations. Every aspect of their service was spot on. A special mention must go to Elise, who was truly brilliant throughout the entire process—professional, supportive, and consistently on top of everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again and again. Highly recommended!
