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.

Residential Property / Conveyancing

I used FBC Manby Bowdler’s conveyancing service to sell my previous residential property and purchase the property that I was moving to. Throughout the entire process, my solicitor, Adam Opperman, was helpful, thorough and quick to respond to any queries that I had. From the outset, I was reassured by his attention to detail, the speed with which he actioned every stage of the process and the clarity of his explanations to my every query. Moving house is quite a stressful process, but FBC Manby Bowdler did everything to reduce that stress to a minimum. I shall definitely use this company again in the future should I need to and I shall recommend them to anyone needing conveyancing services at the very least. In fact, I have every confidence that the quality of all the legal services that they offer will match that of their conveyancing service.

Louise is terrific. A couple of non standard “challenges” during conveyancing swiftly and comfortably dealt with for smoother sailing through the process.

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 have dealt with Andrew Wynne before. What impressed me this time, as previously, is that he knows and understands my situation completely (not always the case with solicitors, who often have to be reminded of points) and provides absolutely clear and useful advice and direction.

Excellent service from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, and I was kept informed at every stage without needing to chase. Everything was explained in plain English, which made a stressful process feel much more manageable. The team handled the transaction efficiently and professionally, and completion went through smoothly. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

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

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.

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.
