Personal Injury

Top Solicitor!!

Adam was my solicitor for almost 5 years when I was injured in a car accident in 2020. What would have usually been a simple case soon became complicated due to other health conditions which were unknown at the time. Adam is extremely thorough and instructs excellent experts who are highly regarded in their field. I was experiencing health problems I’d not felt before and I felt vulnerabilities about health and work. The experts helped me feel assured I was on the correct care plan. I felt safer during an extremely difficult time and this is down to Adam. He is professional and has always given clear advice. He always answers emails in a timely manner and is persistent and determined in achieving the best outcome for his clients who always come first. Over the years I’ve used solicitors for matters like house purchases but working with Adam has been a refreshing change. He is highly organised and is always very honest. He has a wealth of knowledge and I could wholeheartedly trust him at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam because of how highly I regard him. He’s not only a great Solicitor but he’s also a good person and that mattered. I will always feel extremely lucky to have received a recommendation for him and will always appreciate how he made a positive difference to my life. Thank you Adam.

Employment

Legal assistance regarding employment law.

I was looking for a solicitor who would be well accustomed to employment law, and I came across FBC Manby Bowdler (Midlands) Limited. I was pleasantly surprised by their positive customer service at the Redditch branch. The secretary who works there is a kind lady, and she has shown interest in dealing with my case immediately. That's when I was referred to Julia. I received a phone call within an hour, and we discussed my expectations briefly. I was told about the entire process, legal fees and everything related to my case, so it was clear from the beginning, and I agreed to proceed. Overall, I am very happy with the service received. The cooperation was very pleasant, and all legal options were explained to me in detail. This helped me to understand my situation and decide on my final step. I feel we achieved a great outcome from my case, for which reason I highly recommend lawyer Julia due to her professionalism, great level of communication and honest approach. Thank you very much, Julia. Daniel

I saw Elizabeth Harris-Clark at your Telford offices, in December 2025. The advice she gave and the compassion she showed was second to none. The situation was a very sensitive one and Elizabeth handled it sensitively but professionally. I would certainly use her again and would recommend using her services/expertise, to anyone.

Litigation / Dispute Resolution

i am very dissatisfied with the service i have received not only were costs greatly inflated with no valid reason i felt intimidated by the solicitor who did not really help me feel at ease in fact she made things much worse and made me feel worse i have also learned she is also not an expert in contract dispute i learned at a later date i originally signed up to a basic fee of £1500 which over night escalated to £5000+ apparently due to my claim being urgent - it was not urgent in fact to date i have still not heard from court there was nothing pressingly urgent about it in my opinion the solicitor repeatedly seemed to be on the side of the other party and dd not make me feel supported at all im afraid i feel i was given inaccurate advise and have since instructed another legal person who has advised to keep the original defendent on the court order and let the judge decide i did not feel listened to merely judged as at the time it naturally made me ill she wrote x 2 letter to the defendents of which to date i have not received the final copy only the draft version with amendments to be done ?

I can not recommend Mohammed highly enough . All Of the stress and anxiety was taken away because we were lessened to, given clear guidance from the start and the fact that someone was always available to speak to. I always left our meeting far happier than when I arrived and I felt that my concerns were always listened to and addressed with empathy. I never felt like a client , I was always made to feel that we mattered. This is imperative when you are going through such a stressful. Should we ever find ourselves in a position to require legal representation then I would not hesitate and I would know for sure that we are in the best hands possible

David is simply excellent - responsive and does not get into the silly arguments with other solicitors one often sees. He just gets his bit done, quickly ( super rare!) . Straightforward & sensible lawyer and sensibly priced - couldn't be happier with him.
