James McMullan, at what was Barker Gillette, has looked after my affairs for many years now and it is reassuring to have solicitors that I trust implicitly. Charlotte was an excellent addition to the team and I was impressed from her arrival with her prompt replies and general efficiency.”

Blitz, November 2023

“We dealt with Charlotte who came from the London office to meet us at your Borehamwood office. I have to say that firstly, she was charming and professional. She fully explained the situation regarding wills, power of attorney and other situations that we should consider. Her attention to detail was flawless and her communication was excellent. On our second meeting, she again explained everything and helped us together with making sure that we were aware of what to do. I would fully recommend her to any of our friends.”
