Copyright Legal Assistance

Great Legal Support
It is with pleasure that I express the gratitude we have for Charlotte. From the very first consultation to the final stages of our copyright case, she demonstrated a combination of exceptional legal judgement, dedication, and genuine compassion.
In what felt for us like an overwhelming and uphill battle, Charlotte became our steady—methodical, strategic, and always pre-empting potential responses from the opposing legal team. Her understanding of copyright law, meticulous attention to detail, gave us the confidence and clarity when we needed it most. It was obvious from the start that we weren’t just a case file to her—we were real people with a real story, and she treated us on a very individual and personal level.
We were impressed not in the just the expertise, but the way Charlotte communicated every step with patience, transparency, and reassurance. No question was too small, no challenge too big. She approached every aspect with calm determination and an unwavering commitment to protecting ourselves and demystifying the whole process. These experiences are not always clear – but Charlotte managed to reduce stress by continual explanation and identifying the message underneath the “legal jargon”.
Thanks to Charlotte we arrived at an agreement satisfactory to both parties and we reclaimed our peace of mind.
We are forever grateful

Personal Injury / Insurance

Following a near fatal accident last year, we was recommended to contact FBC Mandy Bowdler by a work contact. From the first phone call with Sue she understood what happened to me, was sympathetic, informative and reassuring that we was in great hands.

All the way through the process Sue was transparent with the information which was regular enough to keep us in the loop and informed - a lot different to the normal solicitors you deal with when buying a property.

When it came to the final stages regarding settlement, Sue was honest and realistic with my case as to what could be expected and what we could achieve.

I’m glad that we could settle it in a timely manner and am sure if we hadn’t have chosen Sue, it would have taken a hell of a lot longer. This way we can try and move on with our lives as a family and luckily I still have mine.

Thanks Sue, you have been excellent!

Extremely professional law firm. They provide clarity and are very transparent with the fees from the outset. I had the pleasure of dealing with Suzanne Tucker she provides unparalleled legal advice. She leaves no stone unturned. Highly recommended. Stewart Harris assisted with procedural and compliance and is very helpful, friendly and prompt and provides a high quality customer experience. Overall a top notch legal firm. Nothing less than 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
