Crime/ Criminal Defence

One of the best solicitors firm

I have used this solicitors’ firm on a number of occasions and have always been extremely impressed with the service I have received. Jawad has been exceptional throughout every case. He is professional, knowledgeable, approachable and always there whenever I have had a question or faced any problems. I have always felt supported and reassured knowing that he was dealing with my case. Edna has also been incredibly supportive, helpful and professional, and I truly appreciate all the assistance she has provided. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and supportive legal team. Thank you to Jawad, Edna and the whole team for your continued hard work and support.

There every step of the way

I found Jawad Babar and Edna Astle really supportive in terms of my mental health and my sexuality. You were helpful and compassionate. I did not have to pay but if I did BMS would have been worth every penny. I would definitely recommend you to my friends, family members and colleagues. Keep up the amazing work! I felt supported and you were very trustworthy and compassionate as I find it hard to trust people and you went above and beyond.

Thank you so much for everything

My mental health needs were supported and I was ok to express my sexuality. I found inner peace and tranquillity. You were supportive and friendly and had good manners. I was claiming Universal Credit, so I did not have to pay legal fees, but your service was excellent. 10/10 simply the best. Jawad Babar is a fantastic solicitor he should re-train as a barrister. Edna Astle has a heart of gold, she is one in a million. Jawad, Edna and Gemmima were like Three Musketeers to save me from the depths of the criminal justice system.
