As a lawyer if I need professional advice in a personal capacity I always use Barr Ellison to support me. Their service is exemplary.
I have recently used Sarah Payne a litigation solicitor. Her advice is always legally sound, robust and pragmatic I always feel that Sarah is on my side but with an eye to delivering the best solution for all parties.
I have also recently instructed Kelly Peck a partner in the property division. Her advice, too, is clear, pragmatic and commercially oriented. With her advice I got the outcome I was hoping for.
I cannot recommend Barr Ellison more highly (and often

Mark Copley handled my case and besides succeeding in obtaining a great settlement for me following my car accident, he has also gone above and beyond to obtain some legal work experience for me - as I am currently studying law.
Mark had no responsibility to do this for me, however, he had chose to go above and beyond to make a difference and improve my life in any way he could.
I definitely recommend Barr Ellison Solicitors and Mark especially. This Law Firm not only handle their cases very well, but additionally, as I have experienced, they genuinely care for their customers.

Reading others’ reviews here, it seems we drew the short straw on solicitor and service. It took five weeks from our mother’s death to get initial meeting to discuss estate arrangements. Covid aside we found the service to be slow, very little done until chased up by phone and email, and felt treated as a nuisance when we did enquire. Eyebrows were raised by Estate Agent, Insurers and Tax accountants over length of time taken to get house to market, unsolicited choices made over insurance and the validity, time, cost and effort put in to work out the 6 week tax return of the last few weeks

I cannot recommend and thank Karen Anker enough for all she has done for me over the past stressful year. Her professional, empathetic and calm manner, her practical suggestions which meant that my ex-husband and I could sort some things out between ourselves without legal help thus keeping costs down. She had my best interests at heart throughout achieving the best possible financial settlement. Despite the pandemic, our meetings went to online without any problems. Barr Ellison charges are extremely fair. I have come out of my divorce feeling I have got the settlement I am entitled to.

I just wanted to let you know that I was thoroughly impressed with Josh Smart’s handling of my property sale. He was really good to work with and was very proactive throughout. He was professional but also extremely personable, which is a great asset.

I have used Barr Ellison several times, most recently for conveyancing on a house. I was purchasing from overseas during a pandemic, so there was plenty of potential for things to go wrong! However, due to the professional, efficient and friendly service from Helen we were well-informed throughout the process and everything went very smoothly. Barr Ellison may not be the absolute cheapest, but we were very happy with the service we received. We will certainly return to them again when we next need solicitors.

I used Barr Ellison to arrange my first Will. They were very helpful in explaining the process and advising me on some technical issues. They responded quickly to any emails I wrote throughout the process despite their staff working from home at the moment. I would certainly recommend them
