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.

Angie listened, advised and supported my case with professionalism and empathy. Her advice was absolutely sound, she was a pleasure to deal with. This website does not allow me to use the select a solicitor hence I have named her in the title.

I instructed Shelley De Worringham to represent me in respect to contested Children Act proceedings. Shelley’s strategy and advice was spot on. She was 10 steps ahead and always made me feel as though I was in control. With Shelley’s help, I secured the Order that I needed and I am would have no hesitation in recommending her. In fact, I think you'll have to go a long way to find anyone more capable, attentive and understanding.

Sarah, Lindsey and Lily were outstanding from start to finish. The expertise and advice in dealing with my son's mother regarding reinstating contact with my son was invaluable and frankly, were it not for the team's understanding of the difficult and highly volatile circumstances and the practical approach taken, then there is a real chance that I wouldn't have been able to re-establish contact at all. My sincere and heartfelt thanks goes to you all, I will forever be grateful.

From start to finish i can not recommend your company enough. Kept in touch all the way through our selling process, answered any questions straight away. Chased constantly for answers from the buyers solicitors. Great company and will definitely be on the top of my list when I need a solicitor again. Thank you 😊

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.

I found David and the team to be extremely approachable and they were able to support me through a series of complex legal matters. They were effective and efficient and in particular David communicated quickly and even after the completion supported me with other matter. I would not hesitate to recommend David and the firm to others and will continue to use FBCMB in the future.
