Why Choose Us

Personalised service

Quality legal advice

Value for money

We know that personal, individual service is important to you. People engage lawyers with the expectation that they will not only be an advocate for them, but to be available to them to answer questions and guide them through their legal matters.
At Ian W Bartels and Associates you will get to speak to your lawyer personally during the course of our engagement – we always return clients calls. And, unlike larger firms, you can be assured that the same solicitor will conduct your matter from beginning to end.
As general practitioners, the team at Ian W Bartels are skilled in a broad range of practice areas. We can assist you with most day-to-day matters that individuals might encounter.
