Natalie provided me with an excellent service.
She took on my case when other solicitors were unwilling to do so. She provided me with clear, easy to understand advice. She kept me informed of progress every step of the way. Her communications, both written and verbal were excellent.
Her tenacity paid off as I was successful in my claim for compensation.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 03 June, 2025:
Thank you, Gail, for your kind review. We are very pleased that Natalie could help with your personal injury claim and achieve a positive outcome for you.

I cannot recommend this solicitor practice highly enough, and in particular, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to **Gemma Peatey** for her exceptional support and guidance throughout my divorce.
From our very first conversation, Gemma demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, empathy and clarity. Divorce is never easy, but Gemma made a difficult process feel manageable and far less daunting. She explained every step with care, ensured I fully understood my options, and always had my best interests at heart.
Her attention to detail, prompt responses and calm reassurance gave me confidence at every stage. I truly felt listened to and supported, not just as a client, but as a person navigating a major life transition. Thanks to Gemma’s dedication and expert advice, I felt empowered to make informed decisions and reach a resolution that worked for me.
If you are seeking legal representation that is not only highly competent but also compassionate and truly client-focused, I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma Peatey and this outstanding practice.

We chose to use Brachers for the purchase of our first Home, and we cannot recommend them enough- Tim Lancaster has been amazing, and has worked hard to get the purchase over the line, in the short timescale we had.
We received regular updates from start to finish, and would definitely use them again in the future.
Would highly recommend Brachers to anyone!
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 24 March, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with our team. We will ensure we pass on your comments to Tim. Should you need any further legal assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I really trusted our solicitor and they clearly made a great effort as the transaction approached completion. I would have liked to have been given weekly or fortnightly update even if just to say we haven't had ... Back from the vendor yet, so I didn't have to call the solicitors as often as I did. I appreciate the overall service and the fact things were dealt with promptly.

Excellent service, Rachel was always on top of everything , chasing the right people etc, and always responded to any questions I had very promptly.
Brachers are not the cheapest around but they are reasonably priced and are definitely worth more than every penny they charge.
I also really like the app. Last time I used Brachers this wasn’t about and it makes such a difference, making everything so much easier.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 11 October, 2024:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Paul. We’re glad to hear that Rachel provided excellent service and that you found our app helpful. Your support and recommendation are greatly appreciated.
