First class service given by Leah and her colleagues! I was recommended to Leah by my neighbour and I’m glad I listened to them! She was kind and professional throughout and went the extra mile for me

My family and I wish to thank Leah for her expert guidance and assistance with all matters relating to the above estate, and for her professional and sympathetic treatment. We would have no hesitation in
requesting her advice in the future should the case arise.

Karen listened well to my case and gave sensible advice. She was very responsive and took steps to make the law jargon easy to understand. I would use Karen, and this firm in the future

I was executor for Uncle's estate. Ben and Jemma advised and helped me complete the Grant of probate and sale of his house very swiftly and kept me informed every step of the way. I had the up most confidence in them and felt privileged to have a very professional legal team assisting me. Thanks again.

Philip has been a constant source of calm and reassurance throughout my divorce. From the very beginning, I felt completely supported — not just legally, but emotionally too. Every meeting left me feeling more grounded and safe, and I often joked that they felt more like therapy sessions than legal ones!
He explained everything clearly, never rushed me, and always made me feel like I was in capable hands. I honestly don’t know how I would have coped with anyone else guiding me through this process. Thanks to Philip, I’ve come out the other side with my home, my peace of mind, and a sense of closure.
I’m so grateful for everything he’s done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone going through something similar.

Our family used BL for a complicated piece of work involving multiple trusts. The piece of work I have been asked to review is based on a loan agreement that didn’t go ahead through no fault of BL. Service was friendly and helpful. An ‘even better if’ would be if I’m contacted to ask for an update and then respond promptly then I would expect my contact at BL to acknowledge this and this didn’t happen on 2/3 occasions -this was both my experience and another member of my family.

I contacted this firm after my solicitor's firm let me down and disappeared. I talked to Francesca Cozens, senior consultant, and it was easy to explain my case and what I wanted to do. In this case a divorce, with Southend family court. She has done her best in the following communications and I was pleased with the results achieved. I found her helpful and quick to respond and available to reach.

Dear Hayley,
I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for your attentive and professional service throughout the sale of my pub. At times, the process was particularly challenging and stressful, as I’m sure you were aware, and I truly appreciate the care and support you provided.
With many thanks

We have used Alison Bear at Birkett Long for all of our conveyancing and have always been extremely happy with her work. In our most recent sale / purchase which was at no point straight forward she was nothing short of brilliant, she kept us updated, responded to various third parties extremely quickly at what must have been an incredibly busy time for solicitors with the stamp duty holiday deadline. We would certainly recommend Alison and Birkett Long for any conveyancing.
A representative from Birkett Long LLP responded to this review on 22 March, 2021:
Thank you so much for your 5 star review Tom. I'm delighted to hear that you had such a good experience. I will pass your comments on to Alison and her team. Kind regards Jen

A few months ago I was contacted by Birkett Long asking me if I wished to review our joint wills. I put it off, hoping we could have a normal Christmas first. That didn't happen! I then went back to them and was invited to talk to David Feakins, a solicitor in the practice. As instructed by Boris the office was closed but David made all the arrangements to have Microsoft Teams meeting for my wife and I.
I think we all worry about how much it will cost to go to law but David made it quite clear up front how much the various options would cost and the fact that he wasn't charging by the minute for his time on line.
We now have two wills which I think will give the best deal for our beneficiaries and hopefully avoid swallowing up the whole estate in care home costs.
Incidentally he also gave me some free advice about LPAs which will save me a few bob!
Thanks David, and well done

Thank you for your 5 star review Nicola! I will pass your kind words on to Jemma and the team. I hope moving day went smoothly and that you're now settled in your new home. Jennie
