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.

Thank You Michael, Sharon, Jordan and the team.

Michael reached out and took this case on after I contacted FBC Manby Bowdler through a relation. Michael and his team have been absolutely brilliant. It can be a tough process and with his experience and contacts they have been absolutely amazing from the get-go. Full communication throughout and I trusted Michael every step of the way. I am eternally grateful, many thanks again.

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.

We have previously used FBC Manby Bowdler for updating our Wills. As we needed to update them again, and arrange for Lasting Power of Attorney to be created, we had no hesitation in going to them again for this work. Neve Peters dealt with this on our behalf, and we have been really pleased with the service provided, it has been excellent, many thanks.

Initial enquiry on several matters was with Robert Poulson who, having given an outline of the steps needed, arranged another consultation. The following meeting was detailed, very thorough, carefully explained in detail and was exactly what I needed. Well done!

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 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

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.
