We contacted Barker Gotelee Solicitors with a very complicated Trust set up by Universal Wealth Management (who we later reported to the Fraud Squad) and were assigned Ann-Marie Matthews to handle our case. Her knowledge was extensive and her professionalism in making the process as simple as possible for us to understand was second to none. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ann-Marie; a thoroughly pleasant experience in, what could have been a very stressful situation. Many thanks to Anne-Marie Matthews!

We used Rebecca Dixon and Barker Gotelee to re do our Wills which had not been looked at for 25 years. From the inital contact through to final completion our whole experience was one of professionalism. Rebecca was highly knowledgeable and helpful. I have no qualms in reommending Barker Gotelee for Wills.

I have used them for house sales and purchases as well as advice on other civil matters. They are professional, friendly and efficient. I've had the pleasure to deal with Carol Robinson, Luke Cain and Nicola Cawthorne and I would recommend them all.
