Buckles came highly recommended by our local Solicitors and Dennis arranged some pre-sale searches on our property in Spain and prepared a Spanish Power of Attorney to allow me to represent my husband. The local Notary who witnessed the documentation near our home was most impressed. Dennis had sent him a letter with very precise instructions. The Notary said that he usually receives something more like a piece of scrap paper and nobody really knows what they’ve got to do! Dennis made the whole experience such smooth sailing.

Thank you very much Dennis for being so prompt and efficient with the preparation of our Spanish Power of Attorney and getting to the bottom of our insurance problems. Most other solicitors we have dealt with take ages to do anything, but you have been really good with us.

We were asked by our fiscal representative in Spain to arrange an urgent Spanish Power of Attorney, and we approached Buckles for help. Overall, a very good service which meant we were able to complete our sale on time. Mr Phillips was very polite, and the Notary he picked to witness our signatures was very good too

We had a very complex project to complete within a very short period of time, requiring a suite of contractual agreements. Colleen was recommended to me and surpassed my high expectations in respect of both professional competence and ease of working relationships. Consequently, I would similarly have no hesitation in recommending Colleen to others requiring legal support in respect of property transactions.

We would like to let you know what a huge support Monica has been to us during the 18 months it has taken to resolve the issues around the sudden death in Italy of our son and daughter in law. It is not just the clarity with which she explained what was happening and what we needed to do but it was also her kindness, sympathy and consideration which were such a help through such a difficult situation. From the first telephone call only days after we had heard about Tom and Laura’s deaths through to supporting our contact with an Italian advocate around the compensation claim at the end of last year she has always been available, giving us information and promptly answering any queries. Her knowledge and expertise along with her personal kindness helped us through the most difficult time in our lives. We would also like to say that everyone else in the firm who communicated with us was efficient and caring.

I would like to say thank you from me and my husband to your self Julia and Emma-Jayne specially but also everyone at the Cambridge and Peterborough office. I have had previous Solicitors in Luton and I've never felt like they cared or even realised behind all that paperwork that we are normal people that don't understand everything to do with law and have feelings. But no matter how many times I have emailed you not once where you annoyed but helped calm our nerves and worries.
You are a big company but you treated us as you worked for your self.

I have had great personal service. The people I deal with are always accessible. They are very polite and respectful but always give good advice. They are never afraid to challenge us when we discuss matters they don’t agree with. We are very lucky to be dealing with Nick Porter, who is by far the most logical, challenging and pragmatic solicitor we have ever dealt with. We are very lucky to have found him. He’s also a really nice guy.
