Closure of 100-Year-Old Law Firm Leaves Clients Owed Thousands
Brunton Miller Solicitors, a law firm with a history dating back to the post-World War I era, has ceased operations as of early November. The firm, known for its expertise in conveyancing, family, and estate law, had offices in Glasgow and Helensburgh. Following its closure, the Law Society of Scotland has been contacted by numerous clients, with expectations of more reaching out. Walter Johnston, a long-time client, claims he is owed £9,500 after being overcharged for legal services. Despite a ruling from Scotland's insolvency service, Accountancy in Bankruptcy, which deemed the charge excessive, Johnston has not received a refund. Another client, Alistair Greer, has faced unresolved issues regarding his mother's estate, which has been pending for 15 years. The closure has left him uncertain about the completion of the estate and the payment of taxes owed.
