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.

19 months of unwavering support

I cannot recommend David Sykes, Rachael Johnson and the team at Bell Lamb & Joynson highly enough. Going through a divorce after such a long marriage was never going to be easy, but from beginning to end I genuinely felt looked after and valued. The whole process took almost 19 months, and throughout that time David and Rachael were incredibly accessible. Whenever I had a question or was unsure about something, they were always very quick to answer the phone or get back to me. I never felt like I was left wondering what was happening or constantly having to chase for answers. What really stood out to me was how clear and logical everything felt. Each stage was explained in a way that made sense, I understood what the next step was and why we were taking it, and I never had that frustrating feeling of going round in circles. During what could have been an incredibly stressful process, that made such a difference. There were some difficult and stressful moments along the way, particularly towards the end, but I always felt that I was in safe hands and that my best interests were being looked after. After almost 19 months, finally reaching the end of my divorce and being able to close this chapter of my life was a huge moment. I am incredibly grateful to David and Rachael for their professionalism, patience, kindness and support throughout the entire process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bell Lamb & Joynson to anyone needing support through a divorce or family law matter. Thank you both for helping me finally close this chapter and move forward. ❤️

I had a number of solicitors represent me as my case went on for a few years and Mia was by far the best. I found her very supportive, she explained everything clearly every step of the way and my questions were answered in great detail. She is very reliable and efficient, I would highly recommend her.

Excellent Throughout!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jessica for the outstanding support and representation she has provided throughout my case. From the outset, Jessica demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring that my position was fairly and accurately represented. During what was an incredibly challenging and stressful period, she remained composed, strategic, and focused at all times. What truly sets Jessica apart is her courage and willingness to stand up for her client. When matters became difficult and others attempted to be underhanded or present things unfairly, she did not hesitate to challenge them robustly and professionally. She defended me with confidence, questioned inconsistencies, and ensured that everything was properly scrutinised. Knowing she was firmly in my corner gave me immense reassurance. Her attention to detail, preparation, and clear communication were exceptional throughout. She consistently ensured I understood every step of the process and always took the time to address any concerns I had. Jessica’s strong advocacy and principled approach made a significant difference to my case, and I am extremely grateful for her dedication and support. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a solicitor who is professional, assertive, and genuinely committed to protecting her client’s interests.

The best about!

I cannot recommend Gemma highly enough for the exceptional support and representation she has provided throughout my pre-proceedings matter. From the very beginning, Gemma demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Pre-proceedings can be an extremely stressful and uncertain time, but Gemma’s calm approach, strategic thinking, and attention to detail gave me reassurance and confidence at every stage. Her communication was always clear and timely. She ensured I fully understood the process, my responsibilities, and the implications of every step. What stood out most was her thorough preparation and her ability to present matters in a structured, persuasive, and professional manner. Thanks to Gemma’s expertise, dedication, and strong representation, we were able to successfully come off pre-proceedings. This outcome has had a significant positive impact on my family and me, and I am incredibly grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you are looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, strategic, compassionate, and genuinely invested in her clients, I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma. She has been outstanding throughout.

Alexander James's experience...

Sam and Ellie were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were easily accessible on the phone and would always return calls if they were not immediately available. They worked hard to complete on our preferred date, despite a number of obstacles caused by other conveyancing firms in the chain. I would highly recommend BL&J and would not hesitate to use them again the future. Thank you Sam and Ellie - you made a difficult process as simple as possible and got us into our new home before Christmas!

Precessional, friendly and prompt service throughout. The APP was very user friendly and a really easy way to communicate with the team. Lily was so very patient, calming and friendly - everything you would want from a conveyancing solicitor Buying a house with funds from a divorce and related marital home sale added a level of complexity for me , but not for Lily who made sure I was protected throughout. I would fully recommend BLJ . Thank you

Thank you for your review and recommendation Jennifer. We are pleased that our conveyancing App made communicating with us easier, and that Lily made you feel protected throught your matter. We wish you best of luck in your new home.

Exemplary support and advice throughout

Throughout the extremely difficult months while my case progressed through the courts, I received excellent professional advice, in particular with a candid and honest assessment of the likely outcome. The advocacy and defense given by Jim Smith at my sentencing was exemplary and contributed significantly, in my opinion, to my receiving a much more lenient sentence than I was expecting. In fact I firmly believe that the presentation of mitigation contributed a great deal to persuading the Judge to offer clemency to me, and give me another chance.
