Limited data.

This firm - 90%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Will

My husband and I have been saying for years that we must complete a Will. The incentive was when we received a leaflet through the door from Butterworths itemising a £50.00 deduction off the price,

It could not have been easier. I phoned Butterworths Solicitors, made an appointment to go into their Blackpool branch, met with Charlene Boyd who covered all aspects of our Will asking the most relevant questions. The Will was then drawn up and draft copy completed. A further appointment was made to conclude the Will and that was it. The process was very straight forward and Charlotte made us feel at ease with some very serious questions and our Will is now at last complete. One less thing to worry about!

I found Team Dubyk very professional and always helpful when I had any questions relating to my house sale.
Also a quick response to other issues eg ID checks and help with questionnaires. Butterworths was also a very direct company with direct and answers, which instils confidence into me when the pressures of moving home can be extreme for various reasons. My thanks to Gill Dubyk and her PA Sue in dealing with my house sale. David.

Transfer of Equio

Recently split from my partner and Lizzie and her team managed the transfer of equity from my name to my ex, providing me with regular updates and well within the timescale I was advised it would take. I would recommend Butterworth’s to anyone wanting to use their services. Thanks again.

Good all round service.

Had no problems at all using Butterworths. Any questions I had were answered promptly and in great detail. We were kept up to date with how the case was going and the people we dealt with were very friendly and welcoming.

Frustrating service

From day 1 the service was frustrating as the portal did not work as required, with the only section I could complete was the one where I gave Butterworths money (even this took 4 attempts as it wouldn't accept payment from my main account, which works fine for everything and is with a major bank).

I had to suggest a workaround as the call for support with the portal was from someone who told me they didn't know how to resolve the issue, with a follow up call finally finding resolution (I had to sign everything 4 times to push it through the system despite being a sole seller of a property).

I was asked to provide documents I had already sent, challenged this and had to complete a full section again, including prompting the Butterworths rep to re-open the section on the portal.

My house sale took 3 months to complete and I was providing suggestions/steer to push completion and didn't feel like Butterworths were considering these kind of steps. It felt like I was leading them rather than them leading me, which is not what I would expect for a paid specialist service.

All in all, a frustrating service and whilst staff were pleasant, I would recommend people seek alternative solicitors.

Good experience mainly

I have used Butterworths solicitors for different reasons. My experience was excellent throughout when making an injury claim and with the preparation of our wills. However, for conveyancing purposes, my experience was average; i had to do some chasing.

Having reached a time of life and experiencing unfortunate medical issues the time for prevarication over making wills finally came to an end.
We had heard good things about Butterworths Solicitors and decided to call them.
From the first telephone call ( very professional and friendly) the service that we received was exceptional. We conducted our business initially by phone because of our location. Charlene Boyd was a pleasure to deal with; very amiable and totally professional. She showed great empathy and patience and ensured that we were completely aware of the decisions we were making.
Understandably we had to eventually meet Charlene in person. This meeting took place in the Carlisle office at a time that suited us in terms of travelling. Charlene was once again a delight to deal with ensuring that we were entirely comfortable with our decisions and gently guiding us when we were unsure.
Charlene is a credit to Butterworths. Both my wife and I have no hesitation in recommending her and Butterworths to anyone requiring legal assistance.

Getting a will made professionally is something that always waits for another day. It’s important to make sure everything is in order for those left behind, so finally we made our will. Charlene at Butterworths made us feel confident about our decisions & was fully understanding of our needs. She is professional, with a friendly & helpful manner, explaining all the legal jargon.
I would highly recommend their will service at a very reasonable cost too.
