Diane Burke helped me to execute my fathers will in 2019, by carrying out the necessary Land Registration. This made things so much easier when we lost our mum later that year. Her knowledge of family and property law is comprehensive, and she explains complicated things clearly. She offers an efficient and professional service. The pricing structure is honest and transparent I would highly recommend Diane and her team for all your family, inheritance and property legal processing.

Diane was friendly and clear about all the costs we would be incurring at our first meeting. She helped us make some delicate family decisions, and then when there were hold ups in the process of house purchasing she was calm and professional. We were grateful for her patience and attention to detail. There were small but important mistakes in legal documents that she spotted. That said, it could be that the team behind Diane were working their socks off and I am giving Diane all the credit. If so, sorry guys and thank you to you too.
Mary and Chris Cane.

Thanks very much for dealing with both my house sale, and creation of a will. The service I received was very approachable and professional and potentially complex subjects were made clear. Excellent.

We are very happy with the services provided by D Burke and Co, and have recommended them to other family and friends. Dianne took the time to understand our personal circumstances, and offered advice to make sure our wishes are clear and documented. Their pricing is clear and very reasonable. We highly recommend them. Ged & Gillian.

Thank you to Claire Malone and her team for handling the sale of our property so efficiently. Our sale was not as straight forward as you might expect - splitting Land Registry Titles etc - Claire visited our property, explained the legalities to us clearly and updated us at every hurdle. Our sale completed in a timely manner, we would highly recommend Claire!
