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.

Fantastic people!

I was lucky enough to have Adam Wilson and Amanda Myatt looking after me during a long, complicated claim for criminal injury compensation. Both of them were lovely throughout, keeping me updated with all the progress during the case. Each step was explained in terms that made sense to a layman, and no question too silly or simple for them. I'm really grateful for the care they both took with me during the whole business. There were also a few complicated issues that meant it wasn't a straightforward case - but it was all handled sensitively, professionally and with a determination to obtain the best outcome for me. It was also refreshing to deal with people who replied very promptly and possessed a great sense of humour!

MR Brian Smith

The team at Manby bowlder ; lead by Mr Sharaz khan have just completed my accident claim against a very large heavy plant machinery with 3 letters in their logo and build predominantly yellow machinery, Mr kahn did a sterling job with my tricky and complex case, it took a little longer than anticipated due to the pandemic and the defendants legal team dragging their feet a lot , but we were victorious in the end and a substantial { for me ? ]} settlement was reached ,i was also vindicated of the proportion of the blame for my accident , due largely to Mr sharaz kahns diligence and legal knowledge i would highly recommend FBC Manby Bowlder to act as legal representation in matters dealing with large companies in the future, i would also like to thank Asima reihman for keeping me upto date and informed throughout the whole process. thank you

The Best in The Business

At the darkest and coldest point of the year my wife sustained life threatening injuries as the pedestrian victim to a 17-year-old driver whose car, which was travelling at 62 mph, began to spin out of control. Shattered bones, severed ligaments, wounds requiring over 150 stitches and staples, but the one injury with the greatest effect was my wife’s brain injury. Her subarachnoid brain haemorrhage was the most unpredictable and most difficult injury to treat, and the effect of her acquired brain injury still is her biggest challenge in life to this day. It was a few days after the crash that the police family liaison officer came to the Intensive Care Unit and asked to speak to me about the incident. At that point it occurred to me that we might need some legal advice, so I contacted a few trusted friends and asked if they knew anyone who could help us. Susan Todhunter of FBC Manby Bowlder in Wolverhampton was recommended to me as “The Best in The Business”. We soon met at the hospital and that is when our wonderful new solicitor began to change our lives for the better in ways that we could not imagine were even possible. Susan Todhunter was at the end of the phone 24 hours and day, 7 day a week, 52 weeks of the year. She empathetically guided us through complex processes of recovery, rehabilitation, specialist resources and selecting the best therapists and support. When I use the term ‘us’, I actually mean the whole family benefited from her help. The litigation case was handled very professionally, and with great care and sensitivity throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Susan Todhunter of FBC Manby Bowdler.

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.

Overall Legal Counsel

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.
