The process has run as smoothly as I could have hoped for. I felt a little out of the loop on occasion, but I am not of a pushy nature and put my trust in that things were ticking along as needed. Although whenever I submitted an enquiry, both Rachael and Victoria responded in a timely manner, for which I was very grateful.

Darren is one of those rare lawyers who combines professionalism with real humanity. From the very beginning, he was honest with me – no false promises, no pretending. Just clear advice, thorough preparation, and full commitment.
He took the time to understand not just the case, but me as a person. He prepared me so well for trial that I walked in knowing exactly what to expect and how to present myself. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his clients and takes real pride in his work – and that made all the difference.
Thanks to Darren, the outcome was better than I expected. He handled everything with care, focus, and dedication. I couldn’t have asked for better support. I highly recommend him.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 29 July, 2025:
Hi Iwona. Thank you so much for your generous and heartfelt feedback. We're truly grateful for your kind words about Darren and the support he provided. It's clear that his honest approach, thorough preparation, and genuine care made a meaningful difference during what can be a challenging and emotional process. We're especially pleased to hear that you felt well-prepared and supported every step of the way—and that the outcome exceeded your expectations. Your recommendation means a great deal to Darren and the entire team.

At first thought great but then I had 4 different solicitors found out on the day I was at a different court from my cousin and felt like they just didn’t care and on the day didn’t feel like they fought my case and the solicitor was taking me like he didn’t know everything.
