Bernard was brilliant from start to finish. I went to B J McKenna & Co Solicitors LLP when I was made redundant. I was unsure of the process and to be honest completely all over the place. Bernard was so informative, he explained everything from start to finish and made the whole situation 10 times easier. Nothing was too much trouble and he worked extremely quickly. Before I knew it everything was done and I didn't need to think or worry about a thing. 10/10 - couldn't recommend them more!

Excellent service from Bernard in an employment issue. He responded very promptly to the initial enquiry, took time to explain everything to me and dealt very efficiently and effectively with my employers. Would certainly recommend with no hesitation, and I have also previously used this firm for wills and a family matter. Gareth

Our purchasers used this firm to do the conveyancing to purchase our house. Complete and utter timewasters. The case handler (Ms Cynthia Shipman) insisted an indemnity in relation to the property borders was not sufficient and we either needed to provide the original plans for the property or submit a new plan to the Land Registry. We managed to locate the original plans to which we were then told that STILL wasn't good enough and we would need to submit new plans to the Land Registry.
After trying unsuccessfully and at additional cost to get hold of forms dating back to 2011, we advised we were unable to submit the new plan to the Land Registry.so they accepted the indemnity that we offered in the first place! This whole process wasted 7 weeks of time at a personal cost of over 1,000 for absolutely nothing. Case handler also refused to pick up the phone or respond to e-mails from our solicitors and would only deal with things by FAX!? If you want conveyancing, don't go here.

Bernard took care of my recent redundancy settlement with my employers. From start to finish the service was nothing but professional and I was kept informed throughout. I found Bernard to be a very nice person, friendly and helpful and would not hesitate to contact him again if ever in need of legal advice. 5*

Laura at the Heaton Chapel branch has been dealing with our conveyancing, sale & purchase. It has been a difficult one, long chain and very slow at the bottom of the chain. She has been brilliant, in fact the entire team have been great. Really responsive, helpful, polite, professional, with full commitment to us their clients. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Highly recommend this professional local company. B J McKenna provided me with several services including, probate, Will writing, conveyancing and an employer settlement agreement. The service offered by the whole legal team including front of house staff was always courteous, professional and prompt. Bernard is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Probate is often an emotionally difficult task but the staff were always efficient and kind which was really helpful. The fees seem very reasonable and I would definitely happily use them again. PS They are dog friendly always a plus in my book

I dealt with Bernard and the team during my recent redundancy after 21 years it was an emotional time. Everyone you speak with is professional and friendly, and Bernard put my mind at ease and thoroughly checked everything out for me, and explained the details really well. Bernard went above and beyond a couple of times, and made the awful situation feel personal and compassionate. I really would have no hesitation in recommending these guys.

Bernard dealt with my settlement agreement and was extremely professional and helpful throughout. He talked me through the whole agreement making sure I understood everything. I would definitely recommend him and his team for a professional, personable and friendly service. I will most certainly be using them again for my Will.

I first used this company when I settled in the area and I have always been impressed with the service they provide. I also found them to be extremely accommodating when I was working long hours which I thought was really helpful. A top class law firm with reasonable prices that get the job done. Thank you.
