Family Law

Caroline could not have been more helpful. The advice she gave was not what I was expecting as regards the split of the matrimonial home, but she explained everything so I could properly understand the legal situation. She also gave me good advice as to what I need to do for the future.

Local practice in the town with a good track record and reputation of providing support and expert professional advice. Good informal network of satisfied clients who recommend this practice. Initial meetings are honest, clear with no pressure for the business.

Caroline Cockill-Guy is a very professional and experienced Solicitor. She is very good at her job whilst also being friendly and always trying find best solution. Definitely if I need any legal help in the future, I will be contacting Caroline. I would highly recommend Caroline and Butcher & Barlow.

Butcher & Barlow is the first Solicitor’s firm I ever used. I chose this firm on the recommendation of a few friends. They were very happy with the service provided. Over 12 months of cooperation with Butcher & Barlow I can say one thing, they are a top notch and very very friendly and professional law firm

Words can not express my gratitude but I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me through a difficult process and emotionally challenging time. I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for sticking with me until the end. I feel I can finally move on now.

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Angela Gleave assisting me with a Child Arrangement Order, and cannot speak highly enough of the experience I received. Going through this was very traumatic and difficult and anyone who has to go through this will know just how hard it is. However, Angela's genuine concern for my wellbeing and my daughter, and her proactive approach to helping us receive the best outcome was second to none. I cannot thank her enough!! She provided expert guidance throughout the process and helped me receive the best possible outcome. Her communication was amazing and I couldn't of done this without her. I highly recommend using Angela and Butcher & Barlow for anyone seeking outstanding legal services. There was nothing that Angela didn't deliver. To any parent needing help, who feels lost and overwhelmed with the journey they have ahead, you will be in safe hands with Angela and her team!! Again, thank you!!!

I have never had to deal with a Solicitor before, so it was all new to me. My case was very complex, and I literally didn’t have a clue about what to do or where to start. Catherine was very professional, efficient, and very easy to talk to. With having no knowledge of any kind of law, Catherine was able to summarise such complicated information and communicate it to the highest of standards and in a very timely manner. After every call or meeting I had with Catherine I always felt better. She made sure I understood all the procedures and next steps. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Catherine, and you can clearly see that Catherine’s work is very important to her and this was demonstrated throughout my case. I instantly believed in Catherine and knew she had my best interests at heart. I felt safe and reassured, knowing I had the best solicitor by my side. The knowledge and the help and advice given was outstanding. The strength that this lady gave me got me through the darkest of days. Without this solicitor I don’t think I would have coped. When I felt so lonely and worthless, this solicitor kept me going. I have now become a much stronger person and it's thanks to Catherine. I will never, ever, forget what this lady did for my children and I would highly recommend this solicitor to anyone. She really is first class! Thank You for everything Catherine.

Nicola was very well prepared during each and every stage of both cases. Her letter of instructions to experts were clear and well-articulated; she had a good understanding of the law and the medicolegal legal reports that were obtain in both cases. Nicola statements were accurately and persuasively drafted and were always done to a high standard. Nicola also worked collaboratively with me, the other advocates (including KC) and the judge. What also struck me was how Nicola knew the case papers inside out (all 9000 plus pages) and was able to assist me and the judge when we were having difficulty finding documents within the electronic bundle. I would not hesitate having Nicola as second junior in any other case where there is a high level of complexity. She is an absolute asset, a great lawyer and is a pleasure to work with and for.

Butcher & Barlow helped me through a very difficult part of my life. I felt reassured having Nicola as my solicitor who was very efficient and had time to explain everything. Communication was first class. I had the right support from the right people.

Child matter. Dealt with the Frodsham branch of Butcher and Barlow. Very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking sound legal advice and support.
