Bhatia Best Limited

I am quoting now from an email that I sent to Mr Frank Sheeran of Bhatia Best on 2 June 2026: "I also want to thank you, very much I do. I told you when we met that I was impressed by you. I meant it then and I mean it now. In any and every profession, whether it be medicine or law or teaching or journalism or what have we, we seldom meet practitioners who very evidently genuinely excel in their work. You do. That is why I called your firm and got your email address, so that I could send these thanks." Mr Sheeran is only 32 but already a partner, a fact that doesn't surprise me in the least. I also wish to extend my gratitude and appreciation for the earlier intervention and assistance of Bhatia Best's solicitor Ms Olivia White, who dealt with me with consummate respect and professionalism and pleasantness while persuading Bhatia Best seniors to take on my case during my first meeting there. For all these reasons, I offer my recommendation in the strongest and most positive terms of this unusually impressive law firm - and of Mr Sheeran and Ms White in particular. I have clashed with police many times because there is a criminal cop in the family who has been causing serious problems for me since I was a child, so I have met many solicitors over the years - and I believe my judgment can be relied on as a result.

I cannot thank our solicitors enough for everything they have done for us. We originally spoke with Melissa Crow, who was extremely helpful, and then worked closely with Natalie Rushton, who started as a paralegal and is now a trainee solicitor. They helped move our case forward quickly at a time when we felt completely overwhelmed and stuck. They always took the time to confirm everything clearly with us so we understood what was happening. They kindly took us on pro bono as we are on benefits, which lifted a huge weight from our shoulders. They were professional, supportive, and compassionate throughout, and the way they spoke to us about our case really helped to calm and reassure me. Things had been dealt with unfairly by social services and the hospital, Natalie and Melissa acknowledged this and gave us much-needed clarity and confidence. Overall, they were brilliant and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal support, especially during a stressful and sensitive situation.

I sought legal advice today on behalf of my brother. I spoke with Pras, who went above and beyond to help me, he was professional, empathetic and down to earth. I left the call feeling like the world had been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback that you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

Absolutely terrible representation froma firm that used to have a good reputation (many years ago). Absolutely terrible in taking clients instructions, do as they like, ignore phone calls, requests for updates always promise to call back or email...never do. Went to Court totally unprepared, defendant expressed his concerns that they hadn't got the ONE piece of mitigating evidence that could have helped in the case. Said didn't want to proceed without it. Bhatia Best said they had enough mitigation, turns out they didn't...or did they??, The person handling his case said they couldn't get it, then after being sentenced & a request for a copy of the SAR request that they said had been sent for said mitigation. The barrister decided to say he had it all along,but decided not to use it. So someone is not telling the truth! Also calculated the sentence wrong & when release date came through it was 6 months longer than both solicitor & barrister said. On questioning this, merely told 'I'll try & find out for you?. Still refusing to release a copy of said SAR request & my file. Keep passing the book between the 2 of them. That file is mine by law & certain documents in it. Now at the point where I only have 9 days left for any type of appeal?? Definitely something dodgy going on here. Law Society & Solicitors Regulations Authority will be hearing of this. They think they are above everyone else & treat you with contempt & as though you are a nothing & a lesser person than they are. Anyone who wants decent representation in any criminal matter & I don't mean to get you off as I was always pleading guilty. Did however expect that they would represent me properly. In court the Barrister didn't really know anything about my case. Let the judge say allsorts of stuff that didn't even relate to me as a person. Never interrupted the judge once to correct him. I kept trying to catch my barristers eye & even tried to say 'that's not true, still nothing. Honestly I would have probably been better off representing myself. An utter disgrace & they know it.. sad fact us they don't care. Sat in thier ivory towers. They make me sick!!!!

Genuinely a piss poor law firm. I had Dean represent me at the station when I should of just done it alone. His legal advice got me remanded for 3 weeks for a non custodial charge. He refused to seek out evidence which proved my innocence, and he even told me to go guilty and get 6 months. Time and time again even though I tried to explain how I'm clearly innocent. I then got rid of Dean the day of my trial, pleaded not guilty with no evidence. I got the right verdict on the day and walked home. However if I had never been assigned him as a solicitor I do believe I would have avoided the 3 weeks in prison.
