I have dealt with many law firms over the last 45 years both small and large and never had cause to complain. However, I would advise everyone to avoid this lot like the plague. Having continually fobbed me off and blatantly lied to me on 2 occasions within a month of my having instructed them to perform a simple task, they should be struck off. They are a disgrace to the legal profession.

Contacted Toby Burrough on 14th January regarding needing a conveyancing solicitor was told his colleague would take on my case and would be in touch it's now the end of March and I'm still waiting. Very very disappointing

I switched to Burroughs, as i felt I wasn't getting anywhere with my previous solicitors, who I'd been with nearly a year. I knew after my initial call with Leigh-Anne I knew I had made the right decision. I felt confident throughout the whole financial and divorce proceedings and had full trust in Leigh-Anne to get the matter resolved on my behalf. She provided great, honest and fair advice throughout and completed my divorce in 8 months (Despite being in a pandemic, over Christmas, awkward Ex wife, backlog.) It's such a massive weight off me having this concluded. Thanks again Leigh-Anne, I really appreciate your help.

I first engaged these solicitors in August 2018 to act on my behalf in a petition for divorce against me. The divorce was complicated by the fact that my ex-wife and had shared responsibility for our granddaughter. The decree nisi was straight forward but the financial settlement in respect of provision for our granddaughter was fraught with difficulties. However, the service provision from the solicitors and the litigation assistant was exceptional in their advice, empathy and support.
The Covid-19 infection did present difficulties with reliance on emails or the telephone. However, the process was finally completed by July this year. Was it good value for money? Legal processes can be expensive if they are complicated and I did get good advice to my benefit. Yes I would be more than happy to recommend this firm and use them again. As the process was so long an element of friendship developed and I am almost sad that the case is now closed.

I have just completed my house purchase with Burroughs and I cannot recommend them enough! They have been swift and professional in all matters, keeping me fully informed and up to date at all stages of the process. Sue Tuffley and Elizabeth Lynott-Jones have been an absolute dream team and a pleasure to work with.
