Support and Advice
I am extremely grateful to Emily and Matthew for the work they did on my case, for getting me the information that no-one else was willing to share with me, for supporting and advising me through something extremely stressful, and for helping me when those who should have been doing so turned their backs on me. I cannot express my thanks enough for everything they did.

Amazing result
I cannot recommend BH&O more highly. From the very start of my enquiry to the end of my case, Emily and her team did their utmost to understand my situation and then to help and support me through one of the most stressful times in my life. Emily and her team were reassuring, honest, patient, empathetic and went out of their way to help me get what I needed. They managed to get all the information I was entitled to, when I had been floundering by myself with no one willing to share any thing to do with my case with me. They then explained everything to me clearly, gave me all the advice I needed and took care of everything, ultimately providing me with an amazing result that I believe would never have happened without them and their support. Where I had felt stressed and overwhelmed, Emily, Matthew and their team helped me to feel empowered and confident. I cannot thank or praise them enough for all their support, understanding and help.

Thank you so much Emily
I simply cannot recommend Emily Boardman highly enough. Completely professional, incredibly motivated, someone who does a sometimes difficult and stressful job to the very best of her considerable ability. Emily is someone who fights your corner when you need it most – with intensity, a ferocity and passion to get the best for you – her client – that even in the darkest moments – gives you hope. Emily doesn’t sugar coat any situation – she gives it to you straight – however she always judges – almost uncannily accurately – when you do and do not need information, and the best times to inform you. With Emily you get someone who is really, really good at her job – someone who listens and helps you make the best possible decisions in often the most distressing of circumstances. You never get the feeling that Emily is “just” doing her job – going through the motions – and that is because you willbe working with someone who really cares, passionately about helping you; about doing the best for you. And she does this very, very well. What Emily Boardman did for me – and my family – can never be adequately paid for; always available to listen and offer good advice –from the very beginning Emily gave a service that was first class. If you need someone professional, who you can rely on to do the very, very best for you, you can rest assured that Emily is that person. Speaking personally, and honestly, I knew from the very beginning that whatever the outcome – I had the fortune of being represented by someone who actually gave a damn, someone I came to, over a very short period of time, respect for her ability, insight and thorough professionalism. Emily won my particular case – but there was always the feeling that, if she couldn’t do it – no one could. That’s how she makes you feel, because that is the way it is.

Deep Commitment to Justice
For Emily I’d say it was more than a job, that she has a deep commitment to seeing justice carried out for all members of society, that as well as possessing a formidable expertise and knowledge of her subject she also holds very strong values about people’s rights, fairness, how they are treated etc that drive her and her work.

Respect and Courtesy
The firm’s excellence is not confined to the actual practice of law – clients find that they are treated with respect and courtesy in often fraught circumstances.

Unbelievably Supportive
I am so indebted to my solicitor. She was unbelievably supportive. It was more than just a professional relationship. She helped me see that I was never going to improve my life unless I got out of my abusive marriage. When I was at my worst I needed someone whose professional duty it was to be honest with me.

Thanks A Lot
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for sticking with me, your patience and clarity with which you explained the various steps. Above all, I want to thank you for your assertiveness and optimism that our case was doable. Thanks a lot. You have no idea what this means to us.

A Gift
Your accompaniment of this process and of us – our family – has been such a gift. I have felt your commitment to finding a way to correct what should have been possible many years ago. We hope that with efforts like yours, unusual families will find fewer obstacles in the future.
