  • ‘Our family have used Birkett Long in Chelmsford for over 20 years to help with three iterations of will-writing and PoA administration, as children have been born and grown into adults. The Birkett Long team have worked with us and made an effort to get to know us over that period and we have valued their knowledge of us as a family and responses to our needs.'

  • 'The team we have worked with, under the leadership of Claire Read, has been nothing short of first class. Everything has been clearly explained; questions answered promptly and meetings organised with ease as the need has arisen; face to face, by phone and online. Face to face meetings have been easy to arrange with a good office space and easy parking.’
