Austin & Carnley is one of the oldest established firms in Bedfordshire and was founded in Luton in approximately 1884. During the 1950s the firm expanded, incorporating a number of offices, and we have been in Leighton Buzzard ever since. The firm has evolved over the years and we now have a number of thriving practice areas, including Conveyancing, Employment, Family, Wills & Trusts, Probate and Dispute Resolution.
If you are facing employment or matrimonial problems, are moving house, leasing a shop, buying a business, wish to make a will or need help with a loved one's estate, you need help as quickly but with as little fuss as possible. We aim for proactivity on all our matters, pushing them forward to a speedy conclusion whist maintaining a high quality of service.
We also have a large and expanding criminal practice which encompasses both private and legally aided clients. Our criminal lawyers are on both Police Station and Court Duty Solicitor Schemes at Milton Keynes, Luton and Dunstable, and Bedford and are available on rota all day every day throughout the year.

We should all make a Will as we all care about what happens to our loved ones after we die.
Without a Will, legislation directs who inherits, so your friends, favourite charities and relatives may get nothing.
It is important to make a Will if you are not married to your partner.
This is because the law does not recognise partners as having the same rights as husbands and wives or civil partners.
Therefore, even if you have been together for many years your partner may be left with nothing if you have not made a Will.
