I am a Private Client Solicitor based at our Bramhall office. I specialise in Wills, Estate Administration, Trusts, LPA’s and Deputyship applications. I qualified in 2004 and am very proud to say that I became a full member of STEP in 2013. I have many years of experience dealing with complex and often sensitive matters.

I particularly enjoy Estate Administration and I think this is because it allows me to build a more longer term relationship with my Client’s and their families. I feel that my role is to make a Client, at our very first meeting, breathe a sigh of relief that they are leaving, knowing that I am going to make things easier for them/take away things which they find hard or painful, and feel confident that the next time we meet, progress will have been made.

I see the main issues to be dealt with and get on with dealing with those. I like the curve ball my area of law throws in and that case which tests your abilities, maybe throws up a matter not previously dealt with and the achievement felt having resolved it. I love being able to see the issues to be dealt with and being able to get on and sort those out.

I take pride in the fact that strangers can be made to feel comfortable telling me the most painful and personal information and I am trusted with that to give them the best advice that I possibly can.

I recently told a Will client that my eldest child (Harrison), was learning about WWII and after our appointment she relayed stories about her experiences which I told Harrison and he shared (with her permission) with his class. The point of my telling this is to emphasise that in recent years it’s the Client’s who make me want to remain a Solicitor.

I grew up in Higher Poynton so walked to the Miners Arms, Lyme Park and learnt to cycle along the Middlewood Way. All activities we have done with our boys Harrison and Heath.

With two young boys (9 and 11) we have learnt that we have to be outdoors! Harrison and Heath love to cycle and I have at long last succumbed to it having loved cycling in Sherwood and the New Forest this year. I am often found cheering on the boys at the side of the football pitch each weekend… much to their embarrassment!

What our clients say about Helen

Thank you for all your hard work on mine and Lesley's behalf over the last year. To say that we appreciate everything that you have done for us is an understatement. You took all the hard work away from us when we were vulnerable and grieving, and we will always be grateful.

We would highly recommend Butcher & Barlow, especially Helen for completing our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney for both Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare. Helen has specialised in these services for many years. Her professional and friendly manner and expertise enabled us to use her knowledge and experience to fully understand the many complications and alternatives we needed to consider. Helen afforded us as much time and courtesy to understand each aspect of our financial considerations and particularly our health and welfare, which is often controlled by doctors and not ones family, which many people do not understand. Helen has enabled us to have that important control. We are delighted to have peace of mind.

Excellent and expert service on an urgent matter. We have already had great service from Helen Chadderton at Butcher & Barlow. On this occasion, Mohammed Balal proved to be excellent. I am impressed with the company. They seem to attract great staff who have a friendly and collegiate manner.

Thank you so much for your help with our Wills. We are extremely satisfied with the service you have provided. You explained everything really clearly every step of the way making sure that we fully understood everything. It was also very useful to be able to conduct meetings via Teams so that we didn’t have to travel to your office. We wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending your firm to anyone looking for assistance with financial planning.

Thank you so much for all your help with my late mum’s will and subsequent deeds with regard to the children. I very much appreciate your professional and empathetic handling of what is, by nature, a difficult situation for the deceased’s relatives.

Excellent and efficient service from Helen and the team. Always quick to respond and takes time to explain things thoughtfully. Thank you!

In the dealings we have had with Butcher & Barlow we have found them courteous and professional when advising on the right course of action. Everything has been explained in such a way that the legalities have been easy to understand. We would also like to add that we found the receptionists efficient and pleasant both on the phone and in person. Helen Chadderton was the Solicitor we dealt with and we found her excellent in every respect.

Positive and helpful for me and my sister.

Firstly we'd like to say thank you for the initial home visit. We thought you explained everything very clearly. We are pleased with the service you have given us and would like to thank you for your kindness and consideration. Should we need any further legal advice, we will be in touch.

Thank you all especially Helen for all your kindness while sorting out my affairs.
