What clients say about Bower & Bailey LLP

The firm specialises in conveyancing, probate and employment/family law with clear expertise in handling house sales/purchases, probate administration and redundancy/ employment matters. Clients value responsive, clear communication, professionalism, attention to detail, timely updates and practical, supportive guidance. Positive notes cite careful explanation of complex legal issues and dedication to meeting deadlines. Negative feedback highlights serious frustrations in some family-law matters: alleged poor case management, delays, loss of documents, perceived bias or influence by opposing solicitors, and distress caused by handling and communication — criticisms that led to complaints about honesty and regulatory referral.

Family Law

Family Law

I wasn't instructed properly, my assets were increased on my E form. I was unnecessary stressed by the solicitors and the solicitor enabled opposing solicitor to use 'I will ruin you ' strategy on me. I paid all bills, but I was accused of not doing so. My family members were trashed as the solicitor enabled post separation abuse of me. The solicitor ignored that my ex tracked my phone and ignored threats from my ex's family member. The solicitor blocked me from going to court or reporting to the police about my ex's criminal activity. I felt being played despite having enough health issues and dealing with criminal investigation into my ex. When I left the solicitor, I did not received all my documents back and my file was deliberately postponed, so the opposing solicitor got an opportunity to abuse me ignoring my health problems. The solicitor was visibly influenced by opposing solicitor and let the opposing solicitor to speak to me like I was born yesterday and deserved abuse. The actions of the opposing solicitor made me to report all solicitors to Solicitors Regulation Authority as their behaviour was against the Code of Conduct. There was a lot of dishonesty, incorrect or contradicting statements, deliberate mistakes that consumed time and money and over disappointment with local solicitors, that resulted in distrust and no respect in family law solicitors.

Appreciation for Outstanding Service

From beginning to end, I received exceptionally professional service.  Aine Maunder, the solicitor assigned to my case, demonstrated outstanding knowledge, efficiency and composure and she kept me fully informed throughout every stage of the process.  Her support gave me great confidence and I am delighted that the case concluded successfully. It has been a pleasure to have her guidance throughout.  Thank you once again for everything. Nazima

They are the best

On two occasions, I got 2 excellent solicitors in Duncan Bain and Joanna Martin from Bower & Bailey. Both were very patient with me and archived more than I had hoped for. 11 out of 10 if possible. In case I need again help, I will definitely check with Bower & Bailey first as they cover a huge range of topics.

Employment advice

I contacted Duncan Bain for pre employment advice and was very pleased with the service he offered. I would certainly recommend him and the firm to others.

Fantastic - responsive and calm

Conor was a fantastic conveyancing solicitor for both our sale and purchase. He was always responsive, explained complicated legal terms clearly, and kept us informed throughout the process. When our conveyancing became more complex, he offered alternative solutions and carefully explained the legal implications and risks associated with each option. His guidance, professionalism, and clear communication gave us confidence in making informed decisions and helped ensure a successful outcome.

Bower & Bailey Solictors

Bower & Bailey are not good as a solicitors and law firm. They did not properly arrange my case. They waited and lost valuable time. I am now ruined as a person and left with mental illness and a scared face no one was bought to book for. A big give away is, If you look at their reviews on their own website. You will see mainly corporate fools (obviously their school tie buddies I bet!) saying how great their corporate mates are!!! Bower & Bailey Ruined My Life! TJE
