Collected on:
I had a truly positive experience using Butcher & Barlow Solicitors for an employment matter.
Mohammed came highly recommended to me, and I can see why. From the outset, he was extremely prompt in reaching out and made every step of the process clear and easy to understand.
He took the time to explain the progress from start to finish, and his reassurance that he was just a phone call away if I had any questions was incredibly comforting. The ID check process was simple and efficient, and everything was handled very swiftly.
We arranged a virtual meeting to go through my documentation in detail, and Mohammed was not only friendly and approachable, but also clearly very knowledgeable and professional. I was particularly impressed by how quickly everything was completed — my case was resolved within just 7 working days.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service I received and wouldn’t hesitate to use Butcher & Barlow again in the future.
A representative from Butcher & Barlow LLP responded to this review on 04 June, 2025:
Dear Sarah. Many thanks for taking the time to leave such a glowing review of Mohammed and the work he did with you. If we can help you further with anything else, please do get in touch. Kind regards, Butcher & Barlow.

I found the whole experience of having Mohammed Balal handle my affairs in this recent matter extremely satisfying. Mohammed was very knowledgeable, through, professional and kept me informed at all stages of the process with layman’s terms I was always able to understand. Above all he was very pleasant and amiable throughout and kept me at ease through a very trying process. Would heartily recommend Butcher and Barlow to everyone for its very professional and pleasant service, thanks again Mohammed for your help.
