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.

Employment

Legal assistance regarding employment law.

I was looking for a solicitor who would be well accustomed to employment law, and I came across FBC Manby Bowdler (Midlands) Limited. I was pleasantly surprised by their positive customer service at the Redditch branch. The secretary who works there is a kind lady, and she has shown interest in dealing with my case immediately. That's when I was referred to Julia. I received a phone call within an hour, and we discussed my expectations briefly. I was told about the entire process, legal fees and everything related to my case, so it was clear from the beginning, and I agreed to proceed. Overall, I am very happy with the service received. The cooperation was very pleasant, and all legal options were explained to me in detail. This helped me to understand my situation and decide on my final step. I feel we achieved a great outcome from my case, for which reason I highly recommend lawyer Julia due to her professionalism, great level of communication and honest approach. Thank you very much, Julia. Daniel

What ever you do don’t use Jordan’s solicitors. In December I approached Jordan solicitors So I could buy my parents house, they said I could use Halesowen branch and my sister The executor of the will could use Blacklheath branch After six months they got back to me saying they could not represent both of us. I understand this, but it’s taken six months for them to get back to me plus I put £50 deposit down and they have taken £27 out of the £50 deposit for sorting they haven’t done so if I was you stay well clear of Jordan‘s solicitors

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

David Grove provides a great service. I've found him to answer emails in double-quick time and provide straightforward, commercially focused advice. Fees are fair, and the timing of invoices equally so. Top man in my view.
