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."

Efficient & Reliable

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

A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review

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.

Excellent service

Having never been in a situation where we needed legal representation before, this was a really stressful time for us. Samantha put us at ease every step of the way and Darren was an absolute star in court. He put the whole family at ease and really fought our corner, winning the case. I can't recommend highly enough.

No major hiccups, some last minute anxiety

We bought our house through BLJ with nothing major going wrong. They were upfront about fees and there were no hidden fees or surprises along the way. The app was really helpful at the beginning when we were trying to keep track of everything that needed to be done. It was useful to have all communication in one place and not scattered throughout emails. The only reason it’s not a 5 star review is that at the very end, the crux point of trying to complete, it was tricky to get hold of our solicitors to confirm information when we were getting nervy as first time buyers. We wanted a little more reassurance that everything was going to go ahead on the planned date. Overall, I would recommend.

Lily and Sarah were on hand to answer any questions I had and progressed our sale and purchase perfectly. The estate agents even commented how refreshing it was to have solicitors who were on the ball. Not planning on moving again but I'd definitely use BLJ again for any future transactions. Thanks ladies!

Wendy Christine's experience...

Initially impressed with the portal but soon realised that the responses are slow and are holding responses not action driven. No clear updates on what is outstanding or what needs to be sorted by who. Difficult to get hold of the solicitors by phone or portal. 48hrs SLA to respond to messages but still waiting following this. The process of buying a house is outdated and needs to be more streamlined. The statement for our mortgage was not requested in a timely manner as one example, SLA not known by the solicitor which was 48 hrs not 24hrs which delayed the sale. Informed by solicitor it was requested on Monday but when I called First direct it was only requested on Tuesday with 48hr leadtime. The statement is valid for 30 days. Why would you not have requested this earlier? Nothing seems to be streamlines at all with no clear communication with Seller at all.
