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,

Exemplary support and advice throughout

Throughout the extremely difficult months while my case progressed through the courts, I received excellent professional advice, in particular with a candid and honest assessment of the likely outcome. The advocacy and defense given by Jim Smith at my sentencing was exemplary and contributed significantly, in my opinion, to my receiving a much more lenient sentence than I was expecting. In fact I firmly believe that the presentation of mitigation contributed a great deal to persuading the Judge to offer clemency to me, and give me another chance.

Bell Lamb and Joynson were initially Duty solicitor at the court after our son was arrested for breach of police bail and subsequently represented our son at his court hearing. Marcela was excellent, giving clear advice and was very approachable. We would definitely recommend.
