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

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.

Excellent Advice

I needed help with a family dispute. The entire team at FBC from Julie Burn, Charlotte Clode, Rowan Jones to Angie Manley were very professional and gave excellent advice in helping me make the right choices on how to start and then proceed at each step of the process. Angie Manley went beyond the call of duty as a professional to help with advice and matters. I would have no hesitation in recommending FBC and would use them in future.

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

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

Separation Agreement & consent Order

Hannah helped draft a Separation Agreement and eventually obtain a Consent Order in my favour in what eventually became a protracted and complicated case due to continual delays and obstacles presented by the other party. Hannah remained professional and diligent at all times, offering reassuring advice where needed.

Truly excellent service

Victoria Upton has assisted us with executing our father’s estate by applying for grant of probate and helping us with setting up a trust. At every point she has been incredibly efficient, we felt she was looking out for our best interests and she was very pleasant to work with. One hears horror stories of solicitors taking forever to do things but there was none of that. We were kept fully informed at every stage and everything was done very quickly. Thank you!

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.

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.
