I would highly recommend BH&O to anyone who is looking to seek legal advice.
Kerri-Anne Matthews and Irena Osborne went above and beyond to support me throughout my case. From the moment I made contact with BH&O I felt reassured and at ease, I was able to contact Kerri-Anne or Irena with any worries or questions I had throughout the process and they were always answered promptly.
I am extremely grateful for the support I received during a very difficult time.
I will definitely be recommending BH&O.

Exceptional Legal Representation: A Review of BHO Solicitors

5

I recently had the privilege of working with BHO Solicitors, and I can confidently say that my experience surpassed all expectations. From the outset, the team, led by Irena, displayed an unparalleled level of professionalism and dedication to my case.

One aspect that greatly contributed to my peace of mind was Irena's consistent involvement in my case. Unlike other firms where different barristers may handle different aspects, Irena's commitment to being involved in discussions and representing me in court ensured continuity and a deep understanding of my situation. This seamless continuity not only facilitated effective communication but also instilled a sense of trust and confidence in the process.

Irena's expertise and presence in court were nothing short of remarkable. Her ability to navigate complex legal proceedings with poise and confidence left me reassured throughout the entire process. Not only did she advocate for my interests effectively, but her compassion and understanding truly set her apart. I felt heard and supported every step of the way, thanks to Irena's unwavering commitment to my case.

Moreover, I cannot speak highly enough of Kerri's contributions to my litigation. Her attention to detail was meticulous, ensuring that no aspect of my case went overlooked. Kerri's clear communication and proactive approach kept me informed and involved, fostering a sense of trust and transparency that is invaluable in legal matters.

What truly sets BHO Solicitors apart is their unwavering focus on the well-being of the child involved. At every turn, Irena and Kerri prioritized the best interests of my child, demonstrating a level of care and dedication that is truly commendable.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend BHO Solicitors to anyone in need of legal representation. Their child-focused approach, combined with their attention to detail, compassionate understanding, and commitment to continuity, sets them apart as leaders in their field. I am immensely grateful for their support and would not hesitate to seek their services again in the future.

Throughout difficult times BH&O were extremely experienced, supportive, understanding and compassionate. Very knowledgeable and expert solicitors, they work at a very high standard and are undoubtedly the best!! Passionate about helping people and it shows in the work. They are well connected, working with the most amazing, experienced barristers in the UK. Won my case and could never have been possible without them, no other firm could compare.

Thank you Irena.

I want to thank you and your entire team for all the help and support that you have provided over the last 2 + years. But above all to you Irena, I don't quite know where I'd have been if it wasn't for your knowledge, professionalism and expertise but above all, your compassion and kindness.  You have guided me to make my own choices which has contributed to my gaining the strength and confidence that I have today.
