A faultless service and support
Jess handled my case with care and consideration from the get-go and was extremely approachable and personable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends and family and to work with her again in the future. Jess's communication was friendly, clear and consistent, which I very much appreciated during this difficult time. Thanks Jess!

Redundancy Settlement Agreement
Having no experience of a redundancy settlement agreement and finding an overwhelming amount of advice and legal options online, I was really happy to move forward with the support of Jessica.
She was clear and patient throughout in order to get the process settled in a short space of time. She gave me peace of mind and understanding of the decisions I was making and helped make the whole process as painless as possible for me. I felt like I could approach her with any questions and could rely on her coming back to me in a timely manner with easily digested answers.
I highly recommend Jessica and will certainly be turning to her if I ever again find myself in a position that requires legal aid.

Navigating A Layoff Settlement
Working with B+M was a smooth process, clear communication that helped me understand where I stand and what my rights were. I recommend them to anyone facing the unfortunate circumstance of being laid off. I felt valued and respected navigating the confusing world of 'legalese'. Very good indeed!

A great solicitor
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Jessica work on my case and I can't thank her enough for her patience, professionalism and attention to detail.
During the process Jessica was clear with all the information and totally transparent - meaning I never had to worry about hidden issues or costs. She was friendly and put me at ease, which considering the how stressful the situation was for me, made such a difference. She explained the process and took the time to explain legal documents in language I could understand. Although the case was fairly straightforward and basic for a solicitor of her level, Jessica still gave it her full, and was very respectful and considerate about my feelings. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Employment Settlement Deal
Jessica responded to my initial enquiry very quickly which was helpful and laid out terms of business clearly and effectively. this was a fairly straight forward uncontested settlement agreement but Jessica provided reassurance that everything was above board with the contract and gave sensible advice around a few details that needed to be amended. All the work was carried out in a clear and timely manner and within the budget that was available to me. Thank you Jessica this was just the solicitor support that I needed to get this over the line!
