Excellent professional support with Will preparation

"My Wife and I have been considering having our Wills prepared and met Melissa Hughes at BLJ towards the end of April. Dealing with this really important matter is never straightforward and we were naturally anxious. There was no need, however, as Melissa was very professional,"

Thank you Darren!!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Darren Jones for all of his help and support this last year. Not only is Darren reliable, punctual and incredibly trustworthy, he really puts us at ease in situations that can be very stressful & challenging. Darren has represented my son on numerous occasions now. Then this evening, after a very long and stressful day, my son said to me “as soon as I saw Darren I felt safe” —as a mother, that meant the world to me. My son has never said that about anyone before. Darren is a strong voice for his clients, and always makes sure we are treated fairly in all situations. Due to my son having ASD & ADHD, I often find myself having to translate things for him when it comes to professionals. But I’ve never had to do that with Darren. From the first time he met my son, he engaged really well with him, and spoke to him on a level he understood. I would recommend Darren to anyone who feels they need a rock by their side during a difficult time (he has the most amazing suits & style too!!!) .He is brilliant, and we are so grateful for everything you’ve done for us Darren. -From L&H

Very professional

Darren was very professional and got the best possible outcome for my case. Despite taking on the case on short notice, as I had previously been dealing with another firm, I was impressed by his knowledge, expertise and confidence in the court room. I would highly recommend Darren Jones to anyone in need of any legal assistance. 10/10 service.

When I was in the Runcorn custody suite and first saw duty solicitor David I immediately felt like someone was on my side. Pre interview, he was amazing and extinguished my anxiety about the whole process. He was clear, concise and professional. Thankfully I was released on bail soon after the interview and a no further action to the offences was given a week later by the police. I recommend this firm and of course David who is semi retired but you cannot put a price on experience. Thank you!

from Bell Lamb & Joynson

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that David was able to provide clear, reassuring, and professional support during a stressful time, helping to ease your anxiety throughout the process. It’s wonderful to know the matter was resolved positively, and your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Excellent service throughout - would highly recommend

I’ve had a really positive experience throughout the process of selling my first home. Rachael and Shania were extremely helpful and supportive, particularly when there were difficulties around proposed completion dates and I felt that they genuinely listened to me, stood up for my position and made sure I wasn’t put under pressure to agree to something that didn’t work for me. Communication was excellent throughout and they made what can be a very stressful process feel much more manageable. I’m really grateful for all of their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Wendy Christine's experience...

Initially impressed with the portal but soon realised that the responses are slow and are holding responses not action driven. No clear updates on what is outstanding or what needs to be sorted by who. Difficult to get hold of the solicitors by phone or portal. 48hrs SLA to respond to messages but still waiting following this. The process of buying a house is outdated and needs to be more streamlined. The statement for our mortgage was not requested in a timely manner as one example, SLA not known by the solicitor which was 48 hrs not 24hrs which delayed the sale. Informed by solicitor it was requested on Monday but when I called First direct it was only requested on Tuesday with 48hr leadtime. The statement is valid for 30 days. Why would you not have requested this earlier? Nothing seems to be streamlines at all with no clear communication with Seller at all.
