I was initially informed that I did not necessarily need the service to conduct the probate process. That openness and honesty generated an increased sense of trust in the firm and I was happy to proceed with the engagement.

My wife and I are existing clients of FBC Manby Bowdler since 1980 and are very satisfied with the help and service we received for different needs both on our personal and business matters which arose at different times. The service is always without any flaw.

Our new will was explained thoroughly to us. Very professional approach and very approachable. Michelle gave us her full attention, upon questioning over all aspects and was totally reassuring.

We had previously encountered FBC Manby Bowdler in Wolverhampton as we were executors of a friends Will. We were greatly impressed with everyone we dealt with and they went above and beyond our expectations in the help and support they provided to us. So when we wanted to review our Wills and make Lasting Power of Attorneys we called them to do this for us. Michelle Monnes-Thomas was exceptional, professional, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Her advice was invaluable and she went out of her way to ensure the documents expressed our exact wishes.

Michelle Monnes-Thomas is dealing with my late mothers estate. Due to the pandemic things have been difficult, but Michelle has been amazing.
