Jessica Armstrong Review

Jessica assisted me with a settlement agreement and achieved a quick and clean exit, whilst ensuring that I received a much improved deal. She was very approachable, professional and appeared to work very efficiently in dealing with my former employer. Would recommend and would look to engage again in any similar situations

Advice for settlement

Jessica was thoughtful, supportive and professional throughout the process. Depaite mine being a small case, she was always clear in communication and available to clarify any questions I had during a challenging time. Her trainee Eve was also very helpful, highly recommend their services

Excellent assistance with a settlement agreement!

Jessica was a marvellous solicitor who was very clear & communicative throughout what was my first experience with a settlement agreement from my employer. She explained the terms of the contract clearly, and was then able to help me negotiate better terms, something I would not have been confident to do myself. While I am in no rush to go through another settlement agreement process or anything similar, if I did find myself in need of a solicitor again, I would find myself contacting Balfour + Manson LLP & requesting Jessica if at all possible! Many thanks again!

Excellent service from start to finish

I am very grateful to have had Jessica and Eve work on my case. Eve responded to my initial enquiry promptly with proposed terms of business and options on how the initial consultation could be conducted to suit my needs. There was an element of time pressure involved with my case and with Jessica's advice and guidance we were able to navigate this smoothly. Great communication with clear and concise explanations of legal terms provided helped to alleviate my concerns and gave me confidence and a sense of support. Balfour+Manson were recommended to me and I have no hesitation in recommending them, especially Jessica & Eve, to others.

I contacted Balfour and Manson because I needed a work severance agreement reviewed. Eve and Simon who I dealt with were both very professional and friendly and responded quickly to any questions I had. They made the whole process very painless. Highly recommended.

On a recommendation, I used Balfour and Manson to help us update our employment contracts. The lawyer who took the brief was commissioned and then promptly went on holiday without giving us notice, we were left with somebody more junior who needed briefed (again) and then supplied me with a template that I could've bought from the Internet for a fraction of the cost. I went back with some questions and then discovered the junior had also gone on a holiday leaving no one available for questions… I put this in writing as a complaint to the firm and didn't hear a word back.. We paid the bill but would never use this firm again… Not impressed and I certainly wouldn't recommend.

We chose Balfour and Manson as one of the best ranked firms in Employment Law. They not only met but exceeded expectation on that front but what really impressed us most was the compassion, understanding and explaining complicated legal text in layman's terms. Sarah Shiels represented my brother, she is a brilliant lawyer and as a family cannot speak highly enough about her professionalism, knowledge and putting my brother at ease at a difficult time. Robert Holland (Head of Employment Law/Partner) took time out of his busy schedule to say hello and wish my brother & I well, took an interest in my brother's case which meant a lot. Our experience as a family was 10/10.

Excellent service! Highly recommended.

Adeeb was my conveyancing Solicitor and he was amazing. Clear communication, good advice, efficient and getting issues sorted quickly and effectively & overall a fantastic experience to have them by my side. The entire B+M team were great, and I had a wonderful experience with them! I would certainly recommend them.

Thank you!!

I honestly can’t thank the team enough for everything they did throughout my case. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent, and I was always kept informed about what was happening. They took the time to listen to me, my concerns, and my views, and I always felt that my voice mattered. I never felt pressured into making decisions, and they made sure my wishes were put forward and respected throughout the process. My solicitor Alannah, took over my case part way through, which I was understandably a little anxious about, but she was absolutely brilliant! She quickly got to know my case, called me for a chat as soon as she started and made me feel completely at ease. She showed genuine compassion, kindness and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time for me. I always felt listened to, supported, and reassured, and she never made me feel like I was just another case. Anytime i needed to ask anything or give my views on anything Alannah was so quick to respond, with such detail and guidance. I felt so listened to and understood. The whole team were professional, approachable and responsive, and I always knew I could contact them if I had any questions or worries. Their dedication and support made a very stressful experience much easier to get through. I am incredibly grateful for all of their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for solicitors who are not only highly knowledgeable but who genuinely care about their clients. Thank you all so much for everything you have done for me!!

Exceptional support from a truly outstanding solicitor

From start to finish, Olivia and Peter were exceptional. Their kindness, empathy, and genuine care made an emotionally difficult process feel manageable and far less traumatic. They supported both the legal journey and the emotional one, always attuned to how I was feeling and what I needed. Their interpersonal skills were so human, warm, and reassuring that working with them felt like being part of a strong, steady team. We worked incredibly well together, and their guidance made every step clearer and less overwhelming. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for not only an excellent solicitor, but a compassionate ally during a challenging time.

We used Balfour and Manson for the sale and purchase of our home, and we worked with Adeeb from the beginning and he was fantastic. Comms were great, he clearly explained everything and answered our many questions. We would highly recommend this firm, and if you can work with Adeeb - an added bonus!

Absolute pinnacle of unprofessionalism. Waited three weeks after engagement to tell us that they were overextended, and they no longer would be representing us for the purchase of a home. The roof inspector they chose was on holiday for the entire length of time between calling them and today, they did not share reports as they received them, and were impossible to contact for any reason. Not a call back, no questions answered, nothing. And halfway through, passed off to a new person without a word, no notice of who I was supposed to contact for anything (as if I could).
