Chris has been phenomenal throughout this whole experience. What started off as a bit of a nightmare has become a total dream with the help of Chris and the team. We've had constant reminders and updates which is so helpful, as it's so easy to lose track of so much information when you lead a busy life. A massive thank you to the whole team for their work

Rachael & Shania Were Amazing

Couldn’t recommend BLJ Solicitors enough! Rachael and Shania have been absolutely amazing throughout our sale! both incredibly efficient, proactive and always on the ball. 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. 👏🏼

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.
