"Having lost my husband suddenly and with nothing in place to prepare for what lay ahead I was recommended Wolferstans Solicitors. Anyone finding themselves in the same situation should not hesitate in contacting them. From the very first meeting with Julian Burrows his professionalism and compassionate understanding made me feel my situation was in safe hands. There were many challenging times, with my numerous questions Julian was quick to respond explaining everything in a way I could fully understand. Coping with grief and the complexity that comes with a death you are not prepared for is devastating for the whole family. We can not thank Julian and his colleagues high enough for helping us through it all."

"We highly recommend Julian Burrows of Wolferstans for any contentious inheritance or dispute issues. We found his knowledge, expertise and interpersonal skills to be exceptional. When dealing with our problem Julian had the ability to keep us on track, but at the same time empathised with the situation we were facing. He quickly gained our trust and confidence. We felt that he was sincere and dependable throughout. As a client, Julian understood our needs and provided a prompt and very reliable service, answering our questions appropriately and quickly. His advice was down to earth but concise, detailed and always written in a way that we would easily understand. He was excellent at identifying the risks we were facing and describing the complexities within our case, but he did so very sensitively and in an empathetic manner. Overall, we found Julian to be approachable, perceptive to the awkwardness of our situation yet at the same time, to be considerate and receptive to our feelings. Without reservation we would recommend Julian for his services."

“Julian was a great support. His promptness and attention to detail was invaluable. His advice was always well considered and allowed us to reach the right decisions. We truly felt like we had an ally not just someone who was doing their job although he did that very well too. He is an asset to Wolferstans and an ambassador to the brand. We would have no hesitation in recommending him.
