Child Law

Awful

⭐ 1/5 – Extremely Disappointing Experience I approached FBC because I was going through an incredibly difficult situation involving my daughter and genuinely hoped they would provide professional help and support. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. I was charged what I felt was an excessive amount of money, and when my circumstances changed and I lost my job, I found their attitude towards me became unpleasant and unsympathetic. When someone is dealing with a family matter involving their child, they are already under enormous pressure. I expected understanding, clear communication and professional support, particularly after paying significant fees. Instead, I was left extremely disappointed with how I felt I was treated. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend FBC. I strongly advise anyone considering using their services to carefully understand the fees, what work will actually be carried out and what support you will receive before agreeing to anything. I have kept the correspondence and records relating to my experience and am prepared to raise my concerns through the appropriate complaint channels. A very disappointing experience at a time when I needed professional support the most.

I’ve had a really positive experience with FBCMB. They were consistently supportive, understanding, and genuinely caring throughout a stressful period in my life. Their communication was calm, clear, and reassuring, and I always felt they were looking out for me. I’d happily recommend them to anyone who needs a compassionate and reliable solicitor.

10 years after the event still very grateful.

Phil just wanted to say thank you for your professionalism and expertise 10 years ago when he helped me extract myself from a complex situation. Underneath his calm exterior there's an absolute beast of a Lawyer. Have just recommended you Phil to a friend hence why I needed to look you up and just wanted to say thank you again I wouldn't be where I am today had you not put in the work you did. Forever gratefull.

Outstanding service by sarah Millington

I would like to say a Hugh thank you to Sarah who represented me I can honestly say I couldn’t of asked for better I have quite bad dyslexic, so I was quite hard work not alone representing me with a complicated case. Sarah had to go over in more detail for me to understand and then for her to understand my explanations sarah explained everything in detail each letter she wrote I would ring and she would take the time to read it to me explaining in my terms the reasons and the Likely out come I think sarah was extremely down to earth with a lovely way about her that I felt at ease when some subjects that was hard to talk about she was very understanding and dealt with my upset and frustration I no sarah worked out of hours on my case as I would have emails in the evening and on many occasions she has spoken to me out of office hours I felt completely supported throughout Sarah represented me in court twice and each time was always one step a head on my questions and answers against the other party the final hearing I had a barrister but sarah still came with me which was amazing as I nearly fell apart emotionally (not the best client) but the outcome I couldn’t of asked for better the case sarah had put together the judge totally understood my side and completely was on my side I believe I had the best out come I could of asked for where the judge actually gave me more than I’d ask for and commented how poorly the other party had acted this was only down to sarah putting my side forward in such away the could see the bigger picture I would recommend sarah to everyone Thank you sarah you have truly given me my life back for me to move on and hold my head high with the biggest smile x

I found Emma’s service and communication to be clear, concise, and professional throughout every stage of the process. She was understanding and sympathetic, while also being honest and direct in her advice and recommendations on how to move forward. I felt that she had a thorough understanding of my case and was able to maintain focus on the objectives and desired outcome of the divorce, without allowing emotions to detract from the overall strategy. Her proposals were clear, practical, and extremely helpful, and it was evident that they had been carefully considered and well planned. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone seeking knowledgeable, supportive, and effective legal representation.

I had a call today with Shelley DeWorringham and was really impressed with her support. She was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I felt genuinely listened to and reassured throughout the call. Her professionalism and empathy really stood out. I would highly recommend Shelley to anyone needing legal advice.

Excellent and efficient service

I contacted a solicitor from fbcmb and they worked really hard on my case. I was really struggling emotionally but they kept me going. They achieved a small win for me and potentially future people who might not have to go through the distressing situation I went through with lack of appropriate medical care for my father. I'm very grateful they helped me.
