We approached FBC Manby Bowdler to update our wills. We received a timely appointment with Robert Poulsen, who was extremely clear and thorough in ascertaining our wishes and explaining how best these could be incorporated into our wills. Mr Poulsen was at all times approachable and friendly, as well as extremely professional. He suggested options which would be beneficial but at no time put us under pressure to accept these if we did not feel we wanted to. The draft wills were prepared promptly and Mr Poulsen clarified a number of questions we had with patience and clarity. We had to cancel an appointment for family reasons but this was quickly rearranged. The preparation and signing of the final wills was also timely and well-organised. We were very pleased with the high standards of advice, approachability and speed and accuracy of the process.

I had a positive experience with FBC Manby Bowdler, Stephen was helpful and patient, taking time to explain things I didn't understand. He understood the time pressure I was under and didn't delay anything under his remit. A great service and a very positive experience.

We dealt with approachable, friendly staff who were available when needed. Having a direct line to an actual person was invaluable,even when asking the smallest question. There was always a quick response to queries. Given that I live a considerable distance from the office in Wolverhampton, every effort was made to take this into consideration. Your drop down menu only gives me the opportunity to name Hayley Griffiths but Kate Goode and Sophie Eardley were invaluable in this process and were the smiling face and cheery voice that we dealt with most.

I have used this company for Wills, Trust & Probate and selling property. Having dealt with Graham Fuller & Anna Russell, I would not hesitate to recommend them. Graham & Anna have kept me up to date, explained everything thoroughly and responded to my calls and emails, when possible, the same day.

We contacted Manby Bowdler Solicitors for the conveyancing of my late father’s house.
Beverley Taylor who is based at the Redditch office, under took conveyancing procedure for us.
We have been so impressed with Beverley, her professionalism, her expertise and efficiency were second to none.
We found her to be personable, always available to answer questions, always answered her messages promptly.
Even our estate agent commented on her efficiency.
What was a stressful time for us, was made so much easier, knowing Beverley was always there for guidance and explanation of the process.
We plan to move house soon, and will not hesitate to ask Beverley to undertake the conveyancing for us

Have used FBC Manby Bowdler Solicitors for many years and for a variety of projects (lease negotiations, company formulations, property extraction, company sale). I have always found them to be extremely professional and both David Preece and Stephen Burke (as well as the rest of the team) to always go above and beyond. I would be very happy to recommended this firm to any potential new clients.
