What people say about Kirbys…

To Alison Gray – I don’t know where to start, it has been a long journey, and I think I can say I have emerged a different person to the one who began this all that time ago! That is down to you Alison, and your constant assurance, guidance and patience, I cannot thank you enough. I believe I will be fine, now, to move forward with my life (as they say)… And thanks to you Alison I have the wherewithal to do just that!

Whether it’s buying a house, sorting out family affairs, resolving a supplier dispute or an employment problem, Kirbys have the people to deal with it confidently and competently… I know, I’ve used them all.

I want to thank you (Catherine Jennings) for all the work you did for my friend Betty to keep her affairs in order. Both you and Jeremy did so much for her and I am grateful to both of you for that. I know that you were keeping the pressure off me at a very difficult time for me, so thank you both for that.

Nicola was invaluable in guiding me through the administration of my late Mother’s estate, and her compassion and advice helped during a difficult time. From the very first telephone conversation with her I was put at ease as she clearly explained the procedure in detail and answered any questions that I raised. And I appreciate the friendly, efficient and prompt service I received throughout the entire process.

Thank you Wendy for your prompt attention to detail. It is a relief to know that our probate has been dealt with correctly with a personal touch.

I have been a client with Kirbys for many years and have always found them to be excellent. Amanda Lee has dealt with all my legal requirements and she has always been reliable and understanding. I would therefore take her advice without question – so much so I now also consider her a trustworthy and valued friend, She’s on my Christmas card list!

I found Nicola to be always friendly and professional.

Kirbys have been handling all my legal affairs for the last 40 years. I don’t need to go anywhere else… and I don’t want to. They make me feel like they’re my team.

David has a very astute mind and grasps situations really quickly. He helped me on several projects and I’ve been delighted with the results on every one of them

I wanted to express our appreciation for the way you have guided and supported us throughout Dad’s Divorce. You have helped a very stressful time reach a conclusion we are all happy with. Thank you so much for your accessibility, understanding and patients. We are so pleased Dad instructed you.

I am extremely grateful Nicola, for the support you have given me over the last couple of years in dealing with the estates of both my parents. Your professionalism and guidance has been a great help.

Many thanks to Wendy Scarr for her explaining and handling of my Lasting Powers of Attorney from a very satisfied client.

Huge thanks to Alison who guided and supported me throughout my Divorce. She was a constant source of information and reassurance. It was quite a journey with Alison at the helm, I felt guided to the destination. I can assure anyone going through the process that with Alison at the helm, you will arrive at that destination as safe as possible. The continued support with my house sale/purchase with Nathan demonstrated how consistent and professional this firm are committed to giving a 5* continuous service. I would definitely recommend.

I’ve worked with every department at Kirbys and the experience has been flawless; they’re extremely competent but straightforward, very communicative… and friendly. Just the kind of people you want handling your legal affairs.

My family has trusted the services of Kirby’s Solicitors since 1968 with house deeds, wills, and powers of attorney. Recently Nicola and her dedicated team have acted as executors on my behalf, removing this burden from my shoulders at a difficult time. Her compassion and professionalism shine through, and I have felt at ease throughout a complex and difficult process knowing it is in safe hands. Thank you, Nicola.

I have known and worked with both Kirbys and, more importantly, Roger Dooley for more than 20 years now and could not recommend them highly enough! Dealing with Roger is comparable to having an “In-house Solicitor” as I feel I can discuss all aspects of our business from properties to personalities. Moreover, I feel Roger brings a high degree of commerciality that I don’t find common in all legal advice. He is more than our business’s solicitor, he is part of Our Team! Additionally, Roger is exactly what you want in a solicitor, methodical and extremely detailed, whilst his commerciality and his aforementioned integration with our organisation has resulted in us trusting Roger to make unilateral decisions on our behalf! I also find Roger is acceptable to new ideas and has a hunger to understand more than the top level of instruction. All round, Roger is a great commercial legal asset to any business!

Charlotte has been a pleasure to work with all through the process of selling the barn, nothing too much trouble, and would be very happy to engage with her again should the need arise. Thanks

Our family has been very grateful for all your friendly and practical advice throughout the process of settling our Aunt’s affairs. You have made the whole process simple and straightforward

Thanks David, excellent service from you and Kirbys as always.

I cannot recommend Alison at Kirbys more highly. Three things stood out for me; her intellect and negotiation skills, her rigorous management of a complex process, and her outstanding care for her client. Through a stressful and emotionally charged process Alison was the voice of calm pragmatism. Her wise counsel, listening skills and kindness set her apart and she walked alongside me, a sure and thoughtful presence, through a most difficult time. I’m fortunate enough to work with outstanding professional advisers in my day job. Alison has all the qualities of the very best, combined with a humility and kindness that may not always be fashionable, but is always appreciated. Through our work together I came to regard Alison as a wise friend; perhaps the highest compliment one can offer to an outstanding adviser.
