    What our clients say about our
    Solicitors in Frodsham

    Our conveyancer, Su Wilson, was very thorough and answered all our questions in detail. Jan was also very helpful when Su was away on leave.

    Barry

    When selling our house, Kay and the team were very knowledgeable and guided us through the process with ease. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The office was always a hive of activity but you were always seen and treated as if you were the only ones that needed help. Great service and value for money, thank you.

    Miss M

    Helpful and courteous staff, both Solicitor and office people.

    Jean

    Myself and partner were involved with another firm of solicitors for approximately two years. We had an absolute nightmare with them. Nothing was moving forward and solicitor involved would not respond to calls or give any updates. Time was of the essence as my partner had alzheimers. We took the decision to speak to Alex Williams after she was referred to us by a family friend. After speaking to Alex, we decided to move everything over to Butcher & Barlow. Alex very kindly agreed to take on a very complex case that had been ongoing for approximately two years. Alex kept us updated every step of the way and had achieved more in first couple of months than that of the other solicitor in two years. Alex was very easy to speak to and very understanding of our circumstances. Alex showed compassion to my partner and would always involve him with any discussion/decisions when we met in person. Alex would always show patience when he wasn't having his best days. I would always get a response to my calls and emails, no matter the query, and without fail. Alex made our life a little easier when she agreed to take us on as clients. I trusted Alex to do what needed to be done, and I could concentrate on looking after my partner. Sadly after some time, my partner passed from alzheimers. Even then, Alex came to our home with flowers, a card, even a big hug and to pass on her condolences. She didn't have to do that but it just shows the type of person she is..... I'm extremely grateful to Alex and all the staff at Butcher & Barlow for everything, but most of all, for being understanding and patient of Billy's needs. I highly recommend Alex and those at Butcher & Barlow, so much so, I am a client again with Philip who is dealing with different matters. I don't think I could use another firm now, especially after all the trouble we had previously.

    Carole

    I was initially with the Runcorn branch but due to my Solicitor leaving the company, I was transferred to the Frodsham branch. Both are about the same travel time, so no real issues. Alex Williams took over my case and she was amazing, always ready to give me advice, be that good or bad. She helped make some difficult decisions easier to swallow by explaining everything in extremely simple terms. If I ever need a solicitor again (I hope not) I'll be back!

    Colin

    Phil Jennings at the Frodsham Office is just simply put, very good at his job. His expertise and experience mean that I feel I can trust his advice and ability to get the job done without fuss. He is always super helpful and accommodating, provides regular written updates and available in-person, on the phone or by video conference when I have needed to talk with him in more depth than can be covered in email.
