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,"

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, extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced. Two weeks later our Wills have been written and we are absolutely delighted with the support we have received from Melissa Hughes and Bell, Lamb & Joynson. Thank you.

Excellent service and knowledge

From start to finish, the writing of my Will was expertly undertaken by Melissa Hughes…her knowledge and understanding reassured me during the hour-long meeting and subsequent signing-off. Highly recommend her, especially if you’re writing your Will under the National Will Network, which supports charities through your donation. Thank you Melissa and MacKenzie.

New Will

This was my first experience of creating a will, using the Royal British Legion free will offer. My solicitor is very professional and efficient, she explained everything clearly and in easy to understand language. I received my will very quickly after the two meetings I had to arrange it. I wholeheartedly recommend my solicitor and this company.

House purchase

Lack of support (very little to none) asked for guidance from the moment we were onboarding what a shambles this was should’ve listened to advice, (do not use them ) we have all but lost the house we grew up in because of this company I would avoid at all cost , as they say wisdom comes after the mistake

The service we received from Bell Lamb& Joynson on our recent sale of our property and the conveyance they provided was exemplary. A massive thankyou to Olivia and the team that supported her.. The communication process was easy and underpinned with the BLJ App which provided a clear means to send and receive messages.. it also had an easy to understand dashboard.. thanks again

Thank you very much, Robert! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review.

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.
