in Charge Offence

Excellent legal representation from Jane and Julian. Throughout the process before the hearing through to a successful outcome at trial Julian was in constant contact with me, giving advice and putting me at ease.
On trial day Jane took the time to coach me in the trial process. During the trial her knowledge and professionalism lead to my acquittal
I would highly recommend BL&J, definitely money well spent

my case

I gave some comments regarding the great help Darren Jones provided, on the questionnaire attached to the client care letter. Unfortunately, I had not mentioned Jeremy Rawson who represented me at QE II Crown Court, and without whom, I dread to think what the outcome would have been for me. In that daunting environment, he dealt with my case in a truly professional and sterling way.

Excellent service and representation

First of all i want to thank the full team at BLJ, my experience with you from start to finish has been brilliant. Very professional to say the least. I have just came to the end of a 5.5 week trial and was represented by Jeremy Rawson. Jeremy is genuinely such a nice guy and highly experienced and knowledgeable in what he does, Jeremy went above and beyond his position to help me out in the case and personal matters also which i am truly thankful for. The case went in my favour which am sure have the right legal team behind me had a huge part to play in that! Thank you very much BLJ i would higly reccomend this firm to everyone.

Special thanks to Jeremy Rawson & Paul Wood

Fantastic

I had been accused of a serious crime that I did not commit! Peter Green was my solicitor during this 18 month ordeal, he was fully supportive always available when I needed him (whenever that would be)
Having seen the accusation he worked so hard to build my case, and always kept me up to date with what was happening with regards to my barrister Mr Davies.
Mr Green believed in me and that helped so much as I felt hopeless at times. His secretary Maureen was so kind and friendly making me feel welcome each and every time I had an appointment.

I didn’t feel like I was just another client. Through this terrible time both Mr Green, Mr Davies and Maureen were nothing but outstanding. The truth prevailed and I was found not guilty in the crown court!

Thankyou
