Great service and reasonably priced.

Jayne was my solicitor and Jill her secretary and both were professional, communicative and considerate throughout.
Jayne was easy to contact and on the few occasions she wasn't available, Jill was able to either give me be the info I needed or to advise when Jayne would next be available to speak with me.

My divorce case was very stressful but the support and advice provided made it that little bit easier. The end result was fair and that's largely down to the high standard of work conducted by Jayne.

Avoid

I found my experience with Brearleys extremely long, I waited a long time for responses to my emails at times, and communication wasn’t great from start to finish. I know this was probably not all down to them as the other parties solicitors were also slow at responding but for what was a chain free sale I felt more could of been done to chase and quicken the process. I personally would not use them again.

A professional service

James Shingleton​ was the solicitor for the administration of my late uncle's estate. James was easy to talk to, he responded quickly and he was always helpful. I feel very fortunate to have had the benefit of James's experience and friendly approach during this difficult time.

Brearley’s were efficient

Brearley’s were efficient, responsive, and polite in dealing with my recent conveyancing and previously in handling my will. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Shocking experience from start to finish!!

I contacted these about some money a guy owed me from a job I was working on, at first Hayley seemed nice but that’s where it ended, I was told my fees would be about around £7k but I ended up paying nearly £12k, in the 12 months I dealt with Hayley she never knows made a phone call to myself! Even at the start middle or end, I never got any evidence of why I had to pay certain amounts, all I got was ‘ I’ve had to do a lot of work ‘ if they didn’t get the money I was harassed with many emails. When we went to trail my barrister got Covid the night before so my new barrister had 12 hours to review my large case and present it in court!! Remember how much fees I have paid NEARLY £12k!!! My new barrister told me the case went well and she was confident I wouldn’t lose, same with my solicitor. For some reason I the case didn’t go my way!! Still I have never had a phone call from my barrister or solicitor!! My solicitor then tries making out being £26k out of pocket all together isn’t that bad through an email! I have never dealt with a business as unprofessional as them in my life. There was a time at Christmas where I paid them £2,400 and I thought that was the last amounts I had to pay because it went to nearly £9k, 6 weeks later with no mention or notice she’s wanted £3k extra!! Through no fault of my own!!
Hayley and this solicitors don’t care about you as a person all they are bothered about is how much money they can make!! If I had the strength I would take them to court but I don’t. I feel truly let down. I have all the proof of the above incase anyone wants to contact me. Please don’t use these, my name is Robert kaskiewicz you can add me on Facebook and I will tell you on there. Truely shocked by the whole experience
