Having worked with Laura Horton & Jessica Johnson, I found them both very professional, all emails were answered promptly, in a clear and understanding way, which I understood. If I require any legal advice FBC Manby Bowdler will be my first choice to call. Many thanks to all the team.

Tim was very helpful, knowledgeable and realistic regarding my clinical negligence claim. He kept me informed and explained the whole process coherently from the outset. Whilst disappointed with the final outcome, that was no reflection on Tim’s professionalism and thoroughness.

Fantastic people!

I was lucky enough to have Adam Wilson and Amanda Myatt looking after me during a long, complicated claim for criminal injury compensation. Both of them were lovely throughout, keeping me updated with all the progress during the case. Each step was explained in terms that made sense to a layman, and no question too silly or simple for them. I'm really grateful for the care they both took with me during the whole business. There were also a few complicated issues that meant it wasn't a straightforward case - but it was all handled sensitively, professionally and with a determination to obtain the best outcome for me. It was also refreshing to deal with people who replied very promptly and possessed a great sense of humour!

A couple of things really worked for me - firstly, I liked the fact that the solicitor acting for me had a colleague supporting them throughout the whole process. It was clear that both were equally well informed of progress as if Zainab was unavailable Amy would provide a straight forward and clear update. The second aspect I really liked was the fact that whenever I asked for an update on progress or sent any email connected to the sale, I almost always received a response on the same day.

We got a result all down to Manby Bowdlers persistence and hard work. Contact and communication was done in a clear, concise and gental way. Without their help and knowledge we would not have gotten a result. So thank you.
