May I say how much we appreciate all your work for us over the years, Helen. Your evident skill as well as your speedy responses are very reassuring!

Andrew Scott of Cambridge

Thank you to Helen Murphy for representing us in our first house purchase. You have kept us informed at all times and were very approachable. When things got chaotic, you handled it perfectly.

Dr Shor

Thanks for the good news about the completion of my house sale. Instead of a simple thank you Helen [Murphy], I would like to underline how grateful I am to you and Barr Ellison for all your help, advice, guidance and patience.

Laszlo Hegyi

A big thank you to Helen Murphy for all your help in this matter – particularly when things got a little hairy in October! As ever you’ve taken care of everything quickly and efficiently and have made it as easy as possible for us.

Mr and Mrs Fendius

I very much appreciate your help and steady support throughout such a stressful time when selling my house.

Mr B Lutoslawski

We were very lucky to meet Helen Murphy, who acted with legal brilliance and genuine kindness through a hugely stressful property purchase. We'd never consider anywhere else now.

Mr Bates

Thank you so much Helen Murphy for your professionalism and efficiency in the conduct of our property sale. I am particularly grateful for keeping us up to date and informed of developments as they occurred. I would recommend the services of Barr Ellison Solicitors in general and you in particular to anyone!

Mr Turner

Thanks Helen. You really are so different to other lawyers that I've met (in a good way!). You were so approachable and explained everything in plain English such that I understood all that was going on.

Mrs Browning, Cambridge

Helen, thank you! You really did go above and beyond!

Ms Raven and family, Swavesey

I cannot praise the service provided by Helen Murphy highly enough when I purchased my new home.

Wendy MacNab of Cambridge

Barr Ellison seems part of our family. My husband Richard had told me that Barr Ellison would take care of me and my son, and he was right. You guided me through everything with regard to my husband's estate, always making clear the choices open to us. Seema Solanki and Helen Murphy were so kind, approachable and trustworthy, they feel like sisters to me.

Nerlyna Austin

It's because of you that we've completed, completed in time and completed with the right legal basis - I can't thank you enough but will give you a call next week to try to do so.

Mark Johnston of Cambridge
