Excellent service

I'm very pleased with the service provided by Bell Lamb & Joynson. I mainly dealt with Lawrence Dunne and he was very friendly, honest and professional in all our meetings. I thought the fees were very reasonable for the service provided and I would definitely use these solicitors again in the future.

Will and Power of Attorney

Our family have used the services of BLJ for many decades, Wills and Power of Attorney.
All solicitors past and present have been very professional, excellent service, may I also mention the office staff at the Walton Vale branch who are also excellent. The refurbishment of the branch was long overdue and the open plan reception is refreshing.
