I approached Bailey Wright & Co Solicitors regarding a troubling issue. I was assigned Phil Storey who helped me with my case. The advice I received was both pragmatic and honest. The professionalism and knowledge Phil offered was really reassuring, I understood every step of my case and everything was explained, so I knew where I stood. If I ever had any issues and needed to contact Phil he would always reply instantly or within good time, I was never ignored.

Due to Bailey Wright & Co and Phil Storey's efforts this matter has now been resolved fully. Im glad that I contacted this company. If Im ever in need of a lawyer in the future, I will surely be contacting Bailey Wright & Co again.

I have been a client at Bailey Wright and Co, for over a year now, and been fortunate enough to have Mr Calder as my solicitor. At a time that has been so distressing, Mr Calder has provided clarity, and assurance, at every step. He handles everything with efficiency and professionalism, whilst, remaining approachable and friendly. It's clear this is much more than a job for Mr Calder.

His genuine passion, and love for his clients, transpires in all he does. I recommend Bailey Wright and Co to every person going through family court or any legal matters. The outstanding representation, I have received, has enabled us to get results every time. There are no amount of thank you's that will be sufficient for what Mr Calder, and the team at Bailey Wright have done for me. I will be eternally grateful for such support and guidance in this difficult time.

We have had a great customer experience from Phil Storey. After an initial discussion regarding school admissions he provided us some invaluable guidance and feedback. A refreshing change to meet a genuine person who gave us open, honest advice about the approach we should take that would get the best outcome for us. Would 100% recommend and many thanks Phil!

My experience of Bailey Wright & Co has been excellent. Well established and respected in the community, one of only a few firms that will go beyond the call of duty and exceed expectations knowing fully the fabric of our culture & community. I was impressed with how quickly I was assigned a solicitor to help me at very short notice. I received prompt, beneficial advice which helped me bring closure to my problem. Would not hesitate in getting back in touch if needs be and will continue to recommended the firm to a number of my colleagues.
