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.

Residential Property / Conveyancing

I used FBC Manby Bowdler’s conveyancing service to sell my previous residential property and purchase the property that I was moving to. Throughout the entire process, my solicitor, Adam Opperman, was helpful, thorough and quick to respond to any queries that I had. From the outset, I was reassured by his attention to detail, the speed with which he actioned every stage of the process and the clarity of his explanations to my every query. Moving house is quite a stressful process, but FBC Manby Bowdler did everything to reduce that stress to a minimum. I shall definitely use this company again in the future should I need to and I shall recommend them to anyone needing conveyancing services at the very least. In fact, I have every confidence that the quality of all the legal services that they offer will match that of their conveyancing service.

High quality and thorough service

Louise is terrific. A couple of non standard “challenges” during conveyancing swiftly and comfortably dealt with for smoother sailing through the process.

Dispute Resolution

Property boundary dispute

We had a dispute with a neighbour re the boundary line. Charlotte gave great advice, support and key recommendations on how to progress the matter concerned. We followed her advice and it is all now resolved amicably. She provided such excellent service, listened to our situation and provided such great clarity for next steps. In addition her knowledge of the intricacies of property law were clearly evident. Thank you all so much. Your help, support and advice was so appreciated and I can now sleep again peacefully 🙏🏽.

I wish I had gone to FBC Manby Bowler first!

I was using a Nationally known law firm for the conveyancing of the sale of my late mothers property. To cut a long story short on the day we expected to exchange contract we found out that the solicitor had left the firm. It turned out that the firm had put they conveyancing part of the business up for sale and the staff had left not just not just our Solicitor. Our Estate Agent put us in contact with Laurie at FBC Manby Bowdler who agreed to take over. I Wish that I had gone to Laurie & FBC Manby Bowdler in the first place the sale probably would have not taken so long at it would have saved a lot of stress. I would highly recommend based on the honest, professional and prompt service received. And I will always look at review sites such as this and Trust Pilot for frequently in future.

Excellent service from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, and I was kept informed at every stage without needing to chase. Everything was explained in plain English, which made a stressful process feel much more manageable. The team handled the transaction efficiently and professionally, and completion went through smoothly. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Shelley is an absolute godsend! In times of adversity she makes everything easier to deal with. Her patience and guidance is second to none, along with her knowledge. I instantly felt at ease and confident once Shelley was involved. Not confusing you with legal jargon and procedure. Everything was laid out in simple terms you really felt you were being helped, fighting for my best interests all whilst doing it with the upmost professionalism. I was made to feel I wasn’t just a client, but someone she genuinely cared about. Having Shelley in my corner I always felt I wasn’t going to get the best outcome. Thank you so so much

I instructed Shelley after having been let down by my previous solicitor. She instantly calmed me and explained things in a way that was easy to understand and digest. I instantly felt at ease with Shelley and knew I was in safe hands. Shelley and her team worked relentlessly to turn things around quickly and secured me a great result which meant my quality of life was restored. I am eternally grateful and cannot thank Shelley enough.

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
