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,"

They managed to get contracts exchanged in under 7 weeks, which was amazing! Communication was brilliant, they kept everything moving and made what can be a stressful process feel so much easier. Huge thank you to you both, you’ve been amazing! Would 100% recommend BLJ Solicitors. 👏🏼

First time buyer!

I had a fantastic experience with Lily and Sarah throughout my first home purchase. As a first-time buyer, I had lots of questions, but they were both incredibly helpful, professional and patient, always keeping me informed and making sure I understood everything along the way. They made what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier. Thank you, Lily and Sarah. I would definitely recommend!

Outstanding Service & Highly Recommended ⭐️ Absolutely outstanding service from Chris Courtney at Bell Lamb & Joynson. After what was an incredibly stressful house-buying experience, Chris was professional, thorough and kept us regularly updated throughout. He was always on the ball, chased outstanding matters and made sure everything was properly investigated. While Chris was on leave, David Meyer stepped in and was equally fantastic, keeping everything moving and ensuring we were fully informed. Although the purchase ultimately didn’t go ahead, we’re incredibly grateful to have had Chris and David acting on our behalf. Their professionalism, communication and attention to detail were brilliant. I would 100% recommend Bell Lamb & Joynson to anyone needing a solicitor and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you both for all your hard work and support! ⭐️

From start to finish the firm have been amazing. I needed help and time was running out leading up to being in court. I contacted the firm and explained what help I needed and I would be wanting legal aid. This would made really easy to apply for and even when I was  having troubles the firm kept me reassured and guided me through each step. As soon as I was granted legal aid i was given clear and easy to understand instructions on what would happen next. My first time in court I was met by Alex who talked me through everything and helped me understand more about my offence and what may happen when entered the court room. He made me feel really at ease on the day. My next date for court I had to get adjourned as my nan passed away and I wanted to attend the funeral. The firm wrote to the court on my behalf and was able to get my date adjourned. Through the whole process julie was always responding if I had any questions and was always help when I was a little unsure of anything or if I needed any questions I was pointed in th right direction.

Finally I met Jim, I couldn't give him enough praise. He was professional and very approachable from the start. He was very honest with me with what to expect but I feel he really went above an beyond to make sure I had the best representation I could possibly have. The outcome was more positive than I could have imagined and now through their help a huge weight had been lifted and I am able to get back to a hapy life with no more worries of court. If you need any help I can't recommend this team enough. MASSIVE thank you to all Inolved with my matter.
