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 taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review. It truly means a great deal to hear that you felt supported, understood, and treated with compassion by Jawad Babar and Edna Astle. We are especially grateful that you felt safe to speak openly about your mental health and sexuality, and that our approach helped build trust — we know how difficult that can be. Your kind words about our compassion, trustworthiness, and going above and beyond really reflect the values we strive to uphold every day. Thank you for your recommendation and encouragement. Feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do, and it motivates us to continue providing the best possible support to those we work with. Wishing you all the very best, and thank you again for your kindness and trust. Warm regards, The BMS Team

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.

Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and generous review — it truly means more than we can put into words. We’re really glad to hear that you felt supported with your mental health and able to express your sexuality openly, and that you found a sense of peace and reassurance during what we know can be an incredibly difficult time. Knowing you felt respected, safe, and treated with kindness is exactly what we aim for. Your kind words about Jawad, Edna, and Jeminah genuinely made us smile — being described as the "Three Musketeers" is something we’ll definitely treasure! It means a lot to know that our support helped you through the challenges of the criminal justice system. Thank you also for recognising the quality of the service you received. Feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do and motivates us to keep going. Wishing you continued peace and all the very best for the future — thank you again for your trust and support. The BMS Team

Edna at BMS is one of the most empathetic, pragmatic and sincere staff members I have ever come across in any industry. I was in an absolute bind and she listened and did everything she could to address my situation. Even though I turned up on their door straight after the gym (I live very local). I was beyond impressed and will 100% use them in the future. They of course sorted my concern aswell Would recommend, especially if the care with the service you receive is important to you!
