I recently sought advice from Kirsty Southgate regarding my Lasting Power of Attorney and found Kirsty most helpful and informative with regards to my options to allow me to make my own decisions. Upon deciding which options I wished to take, Kirsty effected my wishes without delay, including liaising with the Office of the Public Guardian to put into effect the changes. I am very pleased with the advice and service Kirsty offered.

My partner and I recently instructed Kirsty Southgate to alter our wills. We always find Bower Bailey very friendly and accommodating and Kirsty is very knowledgeable. Excellent advice and a fast efficient service.
Ms C. Whiting
Thank you so much for your support and all you have achieved in my behalf James. Through the litigation process you have kept me informed and offered excellent advice; this has made a difficult and confusing process manageable. I now have peace of mind.

Sarah has recently represented me through a very stressful few months. Having been wrongfully and unfairly dismissed from my employment, Sarah with great patience & tenacity established that I had a very strong case against my former employers which resulted in a win in court. She was very diligent, professional & caring in the months of work between my dismissal & the final tribunal, which made the ordeal a lot less painful than it could have been. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.
Sarah Dureau has advised me since September 2013 and I have had exceptional service above and beyond what I would have expected. Her knowledge and experience has been invaluable to my Service Complaint. Her ability to understand the situation, highlight the problems and form a reasonable decision has helped reduce the stress on me during this process. Above all, I have felt that she was exceptionally caring and always sought to help in any way she could by signposting to other services. This level of knowledge, guidance and empathetic support is a unique mix of ability, skill and character that only Sarah brings to the table.

The service that Sarah provided to me in... my employment issue was impeccable; she has been compassionate and understanding, quickly grasping the nature of my case and understanding the financial constraints I was under (in turn keeping me fully up-to-date of the costs involved/projected). With Sarah's consummate knowledge of employment law (and I have no doubt personable approach) she was able to negotiate a settlement for me which would have been very difficult on my own without Sarah's specialist knowledge. I cannot thank Sarah enough...[for]... the magnificent service provided. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bower Bailey moving forward.
From among the Bower & Bailey team of solicitors, of whom we have been clients for the past 22 years, Daniel Vernede was recommended to us this year to draw up legal documents involving Power of Attorney provisions and updating our Wills in January and April 2016. We were very favourably impressed right from first acquaintance throughout the entire transactions by his friendly expertise, grasp of our requirements and situation, expeditious professional discharge of our instructions, and very reasonable terms of engagement. In all our dealings it has been a pleasure to have placed our confidence in his understanding and expertise; we appreciate his services and his exemplary competence.

James Hulme was brilliant from start to finish. Not only is he a great listener, making your problem his problem by truly understanding all the issues, he also gives great advice which is simple to understand (and follow).

I first contacted Kirsty in relation to a Lasting Power of Attorney for my Mother but ultimately had to proceed on a Court of Protection basis. Later Kirsty assisted me in Probate and Estate related issues. Throughout this Kirsty provided clear, concise and understandable advice processing instructions promptly and well within expected timescales. I was confident of the work she was performing, have no hesitation in recommending Kirsty and would certainly engage her again should needs arise.
