Couldn’t thank Louise Straw and Daniel Weed enough. Efficient and professional. Kept me updated every step of the way, and got me through the most awful year and a half of my life with the best results. Would highly recommend and I will be forever grateful

Where does one start when you want to share your story about a company and a man who made a massive impact on your life. Well, it has to be the beginning of the story I guess. Having been driving for nearly 40 years and not having any motoring offences blemishing my licence I made…

Gwyn Lewis was recommended to me to act for my son. His guidance, honesty & professional warm manner made a terrible situation for our family easier. Phone calls to Gwyn were always responded to even if just to say “I’m with a client, will call you back”, which always happened. My thanks also to Lisa…

[Sam’s] Service was brilliant, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

I was very happy with my service and Sam Corcoran is a fantastic solicitor whom I would hold in high regard. Everything you promised you delivered.

[Karl provided] a very professional and supportive service. Excellent outcome.

I would highly recommend Karl and I am happy with the service he provided.

[Karl] I would like to start by thanking you so very much for your help and support in court. Not sure I would have managed without your support and guidance on the day. It was all new to me but with your help, support and guidance I think we managed an excellent result. Thank you very much Karl.

Mr Lewis came like an angel at my worst times. I’d 2 cases where Mr Lewis was helping me. 1st case was dropped at the initial stage (i wasn’t the driver). 2nd one was dismissed after the hearing. I’ll remember his help for a long time. Very professional. His words will put you at ease…

I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for the legal advice and emotional support provided by one of your solicitors, Celia Thorpe. Celia was incredibly helpful and refreshingly honest at every step of the process.

I would highly recommend Louise Straw at Burton Copeland for her reactivity and transparency. After a particular argument with a neighbour (ongoing issues), false allegations were made against me. The police turned up on a Friday when I wasn’t in. I therefore contacted a number of Law firms in Manchester for advice early on the…

Excellent professional service offered. I felt completely assured and in very capable hands. Louise Straw was quite simply amazing – fully supportive with superb client care. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and this firm.

I would just like to place on record my thanks for the work carried out by Burton Copeland Solicitors on my behalf.
