I have known Colin Hornby previously, through a Warrington law firm, when he worked on my divorce and Consent Order. I thought I would make reference to this because his work ethic and values have not changed, now he is practicing Family Law at Byrne Frodsham & Co. My perception of Byrne Frodsham & Co, is based on my interaction with Colin. He always responds to questions and concerns, very quickly, and many times out of normal office hours. His knowledge of Family Law, the interpretation of it, and the relevance to my case is second to none. He is a very pragmatic person as well, and will advise

I spoke with Marian O'Donovan and Joyce White on the phone regarding my mothers will over 10 years after her passing, the original firm that dealt with it had previously closed. I had no idea what I needed to do regarding this and they helped me over the phone and explain what needed to be done. Wonderful service and lovely people.

I have used Byrne Frodsham and Co a couple of times and have always been highly satisfied with their service. The staff are always helpful and the solicitors have always worked quickly, crossing every 't' and dotting every 'i'. We have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for an appointment - if only doctors and dentists could work the same
The building and interior aren't outstanding, but then do you really need to see your money put to such fanciful use? There isn't parking directing for the solicitors but you can park for free in both Morrisons and Albert
