Thank you BLJ!

I would like to send my heart felt thanks to all the team at BLJ. 12 months ago I simply googled “the best solicitors in Liverpool”, and BLJ came up. I read the reviews, gave them a call, and by the following week they were representing my son in court. They’ve not let us down since. Every solicitor we’ve had from BLJ has been well prepared, organised and has made us feel totally at ease. Sometimes you just need to feel like someone is on your side, and that’s exactly how the team at BLJ have made us feel. My son has ADHD & ASD, and it shocked me how well the team at BLJ understood him and communicated with him. They take the time to explain everything in detail, in a way that he will understand, whilst building a fantastic rapport with both of us. I’ve spent years being the only voice for my son, but the team at BLJ have become an even stronger & louder voice for him, and for that I am so grateful. I would also like to give special thanks to Darren Jones for defending my son last week too. Again, everything was explained perfectly, and I trusted him implicitly when handling our case and advising us. Thank you to the lovely Samantha too, for her kindness & support beforehand. These journeys can be hard and incredibly lonely and challenging at times. Having professionals on your side who just want the best for you is so important, and that is what BLJ provides. Thank you again to everyone, I will never forget how much you’ve helped us.

I would highly recommend BLJ solicitors

Five stars isn't enough for the incredible team at this firm. From start to finish, the service I received was nothing short of exceptional. Professional, responsive, and deeply supportive throughout the entire process, they made what could have been a highly stressful experience completely seamless. In particular, I want to give a massive thank you to Marcela, James, and Julie: Marcela was an absolute star—unbelievably proactive, incredibly sharp, and always one step ahead. She kept me fully informed at every turn and handled everything with complete efficiency. James provided brilliant, clear guidance when it mattered most. His legal expertise and reassuring approach gave me absolute confidence that my matter was in the best possible hands. Julie was fantastic, always friendly, incredibly organized, and ensured that no detail was missed. Her excellent communication made a world of difference. The communication across the board was flawless; I never had to chase for an update, and every question I had was answered swiftly and clearly. It is rare to find a team that combines such high-level professionalism with genuine care and approachability. If you are looking for legal professionals who will truly go above and beyond for you, look no further. I cannot recommend Marcela, James, Julie, and the rest of the firm highly enough!

Fair experience

In general it was good experience. The app is a good way to stay connected but sometimes felt like I was talking to a bot rather than a person. This was sometimes an issue when trying to get updates or clarification on certain items. Both Olivia and chris where courteous and polite. I am still undecided whether I would use the service again next time or go back to my previous solicitor.

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.
