I am a Private Client Solicitor based at our Bramhall office. I specialise in Wills, Estate Administration, Trusts, LPA’s and Deputyship applications. I qualified in 2004 and am very proud to say that I became a full member of STEP in 2013. I have many years of experience dealing with complex and often sensitive matters.

I particularly enjoy Estate Administration and I think this is because it allows me to build a more longer term relationship with my Client’s and their families. I feel that my role is to make a Client, at our very first meeting, breathe a sigh of relief that they are leaving, knowing that I am going to make things easier for them/take away things which they find hard or painful, and feel confident that the next time we meet, progress will have been made.

I see the main issues to be dealt with and get on with dealing with those. I like the curve ball my area of law throws in and that case which tests your abilities, maybe throws up a matter not previously dealt with and the achievement felt having resolved it. I love being able to see the issues to be dealt with and being able to get on and sort those out.

I take pride in the fact that strangers can be made to feel comfortable telling me the most painful and personal information and I am trusted with that to give them the best advice that I possibly can.

I recently told a Will client that my eldest child (Harrison), was learning about WWII and after our appointment she relayed stories about her experiences which I told Harrison and he shared (with her permission) with his class. The point of my telling this is to emphasise that in recent years it’s the Client’s who make me want to remain a Solicitor.

I grew up in Higher Poynton so walked to the Miners Arms, Lyme Park and learnt to cycle along the Middlewood Way. All activities we have done with our boys Harrison and Heath.

With two young boys (9 and 11) we have learnt that we have to be outdoors! Harrison and Heath love to cycle and I have at long last succumbed to it having loved cycling in Sherwood and the New Forest this year. I am often found cheering on the boys at the side of the football pitch each weekend… much to their embarrassment!

What our clients say about Helen

Helen Chadderton drafted the Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney for our extended family, taking considerable time to understand our circumstances to tailor the documents to our specific needs. The details were explained clearly and all information conveyed in a professional, friendly and sensitive manner. We are grateful that we now have everything in place which gives us peace of mind.

From first talking to Helen she took me through the steps required to obtain a Grant of Probate. It sounded a long winded process, but the way it was handled it wasn't. Not only were things handled professionally, they were actioned in a sympathetic way with due consideration that we were dealing with the estate and the family home of over 60 years. We were kept informed of progress and all carried out on a fixed fee which did not change from the quote.

I had an excellent experience using Butcher & Barlow Bramhall for the drawing up of my Will. It was a difficult time for me and it seemed a bit of a daunting thing to do but Helen Chadderton made the process very clear and had a very approachable, pleasant and caring manner. Very happy with my experience, many thanks.

I could not speak more highly of my total experience with this company, when recently making my new Will. The Solicitor Helen Chadderton immediately puts you at ease with the warmth that she exudes to her client, and her professionalism. She goes to great depths to explain every detail and helps you to think further than some of your original thoughts, which may be most important in relation to the Will.

I would say that Butcher & Barlow are a very professional Solicitors. I was more than satisfied with the advice and help from Helen who I felt I could talk to about anything. She puts you at ease so you can discuss the most important things. Thank you.

Thank you for explaining the details of our Wills to us. Your careful explanation was very welcome, and it is reassuring to know that we are legally up to date and in good hands. My wife and I did appreciate the considerable time you spent with us and we wish you all the very best.

I found Helen both patient and informative throughout. Helen everything clearly and was also very friendly. It is comforting to know I am in safe hands. I would not hesitate in using Helen again and recommending her. Many thanks.

Helen has finalised my Will under the Will Aid scheme and I am delighted with the service she has given me. The procedure went through very smoothly and I will certainly use Butcher & Barlow again. Thank you very much.

We have nothing but praise for Butcher & Barlow and for Helen Chadderton particularly. Helen drafted our Wills and patiently guided us through the process explaining each clause and making sure we understood their meaning. Following some fine tuning we signed our Wills and left their office feeling very happy that with Helen's help, we had done all we could to protect our family. We would happily recommend Butcher & Barlow to anyone thinking of making a Will.

Sometimes solicitors language is difficult to understand. Helen helped us understand all the options and additional important things to consider whilst explaining simply. Helen was also very tactful in offering help when my husband was struggling to fill in dates. The staff in the office are always very friendly and make us most welcome. Any email or telephone questions are always answered promptly.
