Bhatia Best Limited

I would like to thank my solicitor for the excellent support and guidance throughout my case. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt well informed and supported at every stage of the process. Communication was prompt, and any questions or concerns I had were dealt with patiently and professionally. Their dedication and commitment gave me confidence during a very stressful time. I truly appreciate all of their hard work and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to have been able to help.

I have been running multiple fronts as a LIP and Legal Aided party against fully paid respondents/defendants, and Bhatia Best through Kate Macmillan have proven to be professional, humane in their treatment, going above and beyond in their skill, professionalism, ethics and treatment even under a Legal Aid case such as this one. I hold grate appreciation for the firm and Kate Macmillan in particular.

Thank you for your review, we are happy to help.

I am quoting now from an email that I sent to Mr Frank Sheeran of Bhatia Best on 2 June 2026: "I also want to thank you, very much I do. I told you when we met that I was impressed by you. I meant it then and I mean it now. In any and every profession, whether it be medicine or law or teaching or journalism or what have we, we seldom meet practitioners who very evidently genuinely excel in their work. You do. That is why I called your firm and got your email address, so that I could send these thanks." Mr Sheeran is only 32 but already a partner, a fact that doesn't surprise me in the least. I also wish to extend my gratitude and appreciation for the earlier intervention and assistance of Bhatia Best's solicitor Ms Olivia White, who dealt with me with consummate respect and professionalism and pleasantness while persuading Bhatia Best seniors to take on my case during my first meeting there. For all these reasons, I offer my recommendation in the strongest and most positive terms of this unusually impressive law firm - and of Mr Sheeran and Ms White in particular. I have clashed with police many times because there is a criminal cop in the family who has been causing serious problems for me since I was a child, so I have met many solicitors over the years - and I believe my judgment can be relied on as a result.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are happy to help.

Having many Solicitors in the past, who soon become less attentive to my needs, after securing their legal aid funding, and certainly not working in my best interests. I was amazed to discover this firm, and fully delighted with the results and efforts, Mr Neil O'sullivan; he acted up and beyond my expectations, he has excellent communication skills, with both myself and conveying my case to the CPS and the court, furnishing both with clarity on the circumstances orbiting the fact. I have never met a more attentive solicitor, who gave fantastic advice and direction in the best form of action to take. I would highly recommend this solicitor and his firm for outstanding results, my gratitude is infinitely felt. Again, a big thank you. Paul Knight

Absolutely terrible representation froma firm that used to have a good reputation (many years ago). Absolutely terrible in taking clients instructions, do as they like, ignore phone calls, requests for updates always promise to call back or email...never do. Went to Court totally unprepared, defendant expressed his concerns that they hadn't got the ONE piece of mitigating evidence that could have helped in the case. Said didn't want to proceed without it. Bhatia Best said they had enough mitigation, turns out they didn't...or did they??, The person handling his case said they couldn't get it, then after being sentenced & a request for a copy of the SAR request that they said had been sent for said mitigation. The barrister decided to say he had it all along,but decided not to use it. So someone is not telling the truth! Also calculated the sentence wrong & when release date came through it was 6 months longer than both solicitor & barrister said. On questioning this, merely told 'I'll try & find out for you?. Still refusing to release a copy of said SAR request & my file. Keep passing the book between the 2 of them. That file is mine by law & certain documents in it. Now at the point where I only have 9 days left for any type of appeal?? Definitely something dodgy going on here. Law Society & Solicitors Regulations Authority will be hearing of this. They think they are above everyone else & treat you with contempt & as though you are a nothing & a lesser person than they are. Anyone who wants decent representation in any criminal matter & I don't mean to get you off as I was always pleading guilty. Did however expect that they would represent me properly. In court the Barrister didn't really know anything about my case. Let the judge say allsorts of stuff that didn't even relate to me as a person. Never interrupted the judge once to correct him. I kept trying to catch my barristers eye & even tried to say 'that's not true, still nothing. Honestly I would have probably been better off representing myself. An utter disgrace & they know it.. sad fact us they don't care. Sat in thier ivory towers. They make me sick!!!!

Genuinely a piss poor law firm. I had Dean represent me at the station when I should of just done it alone. His legal advice got me remanded for 3 weeks for a non custodial charge. He refused to seek out evidence which proved my innocence, and he even told me to go guilty and get 6 months. Time and time again even though I tried to explain how I'm clearly innocent. I then got rid of Dean the day of my trial, pleaded not guilty with no evidence. I got the right verdict on the day and walked home. However if I had never been assigned him as a solicitor I do believe I would have avoided the 3 weeks in prison.

Thank you for engaging with me this morning and discussing your concerns in more detail. I have taken a note of the matters you've raised and will ensure your feedback is taken on board.

I called Bhatia Best at 17.10 as advised earlier in the day as needed details of what time my grandson was due in court on 12th May, the female who answered the call was very abrupt, went to look at the list, came back simply advising 'not in court Monday now it's changed to 30th May thank you' and put the phone down, no offer of any explanation ( I realise they may not know ) and absolutely no chance for me to query any possible reason for this, I get that it was 20 minutes before their office closed for the weekend but I called when advised to, as a caring family member this has caused a considerable amount of upset over this weekend, her lack of care was 100% clear, this person is representing the company she works for, a formal complaint is now being logged.
