I contacted Martin at IBB Law regarding a matter on behalf of a family member. I quickly realised Martin was the right guy for us and as soon as he was instructed he quickly and effectively acted to resolve the matter to our complete satisfaction. I can whole heartedly recommend him.

Martin represented me when dealing with unfounded allegations. He helped me navigate the implications of (what was to me) a complex and stressful case with sensitivity, clarity, patience and empathy. He helped me navigate and understand the options and approaches available to me, as I had no previous familiarity with criminal law. I appreciated the way he dealt with supporting witnesses with great sensitively. As a result, we secured a successful outcome, which was a great relief.

I can't recommend Martin highly enough for his professionalism and expertise in handling my son's speeding offence case. We were given short notice for the court date, and Martin made sure everything was in order. My son had a call with him the day before, and Martin provided a thorough briefing just before the court appearance. He was clear about the documentation required and managed expectations effectively. Although Martin believed a ban was likely, he worked to minimize its length. During the court session, he was articulate and quick to correct any inaccuracies presented by the opposition. Thanks to his efforts, my son didn't receive a ban. I would highly recommend Martin for anyone needing expert legal representation.

Mother of 20yr old son
Collected on:
My son was falsely accused of some very serious misconduct issues by his university. The wording, the process and the suspension were all terrifying and intense. We needed support in formulating our responses so we could challenge what was happening to my son and us as a family. Victoria Denis at IBB Law was fantastic. She was extremely professional and knowleadgeable and calmly guided us through our options. She helped us clarify our responses and was an enormous support. In the end, we had to walk away though, as the university makes the rules, investigates whose deemed to have broken their rules and then sets punishments - judge, jury and executioner. Although Victoria was a fantastic help, in the end, the university's processes and a breach of confidentiality in the case meant that my son was tried by public opinion and shunned. I am grateful to IBB Law for their help at a time when I didn't know where to turn. I think together, we saved my son's life and he will live to have a positive future.

I had been accused of a serious offence , in which if I had been found guilty would have potentially ruined my life. Before finding IBB Law online I had trouble finding a firm that would take my case on due to having to change my plea to not guilty as the previous solicitor did not give me correct advice and failed to provide me with evidence/documentation.
Ibb law immediately took on my case and assigned Natalie to it. Natalie has been outstanding throughout, every step of the way she has informed me of what’s happening behind the scenes and put my mind at ease.
Natalie worked with the barrister before my trial and informed me of what would happen on the day, again putting my mind at ease. On the day of the trial the offence was dropped to a lower one which meant that I would not have certain things on my record and I was happy with the outcome of a fine and conditional discharge. A HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now I can get on with my life. Thank you so much!

Martin was the best possible person to have with me in the court room. Him and Usama both helped me out massively with a very short notice before court date. The judges accepted what Martin plead for and I got 10 points on my licence instead of a ban which would of been detrimental to me. Thank you.

Martin dealt with my complex and sensitive case around allegations of controlling and coercive behaviour with skill, dynamism and compassion. Martin recognised the very difficult position I found myself in, and work tirelessly with the aid of his paralegal Usama to build a strong defence case which was key to the police reaching a conclusion of No Further Action. I very much appreciated Martin's thorough and empathetic approach to my case and am hugely grateful for all he has done to help me move past a very traumatic experience.

Sadly I have had a terrible experience with this law firm and its cost me dearly. Their mistakes have basically ruined the last two years of my life and lost me a fortune. And atm I can see no end to it. I'm leaving this review because I have asked for their complaints procedure but they have failed to send it to me. And there's no need to respond to this review by saying you can't find my communications, and then inviting me to get in touch. You know very well who I am.

We recently completed both a sale and purchase with IBB Law, and we cannot recommend Laurence and his team enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were truly exceptional.
From start to finish, their communication was second to none—we were kept informed every step of the way, which gave us complete confidence in the process. Laurence and Julie were incredibly helpful, ensuring that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Both, were exceptionally knowledgeable, explaining everything in a clear and thorough manner.
What really stood out was their accessibility and commitment to client care. Unlike many firms where you struggle to reach a dedicated point of contact, Laurence and Julie were always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer reassurance. We felt valued and listened to at all times, making what can often be a stressful process far more manageable.
If you're looking for a conveyancing team that is professional, communicative, and genuinely cares about its clients, we wholeheartedly recommend IBB Law.
