BBL Family Law

Sadly my ex didn't stand by what was said in the meeting but Beverley was hugely supportive to my children in child-led mediation. They came out feeling that their problems would all be solved they hadn't slept so well in ages as they did the evening after talking with her. Hugely recommend her for a supportive ear for your children.

I spent 267 on two wasted hours and was spoken to with an appalling lack of respect by BEVERLEY LONG, who provided a thoroughly unprofessional service throughout, taking sides with my estranged wife for no apparent reason. What happened to impartiality? During this session, Beverley Long made no notes, forgot what was agreed and appeared to lose the plot when suddenly asking me "Why have you picked up a glass (of water)?" She then asked "Do you feel safe in here Michael?" I replied "Sorry, why are you saying these things?" Furthermore, when I asked to borrow a pen, Beverley refused, even though numerous pens were on the table. My estranged wife, spent the majority of the session lying about events during our relationship, when actually we were there to discuss contact times for me with our son. Beverley made no attempt to stop her. When estranged wife finished speaking, I wanted to have my opportunity to defend myself but was simply told by Beverley that we are not here to talk about the relationship. Her failure to even attempt to stop estranged wife everytime she tried to raise a new complaint about me as a person is the reason why the mediation dragged so much and after 2 hours, all we had agreed was for me to have my son at certain times during my annual leave. BUT BEVERLEY LONG did not bother to make any notes and forgot what the agreed times were. This wasn't helpful when estranged wife was also playing games. DO NOT USE this law centre. They are not impartial and Beverley Long was deliberately trying to upset me. Perhaps she was just having a bad day. I wouldn't risk using her in case she has another bad day.

On the occasions that I have needed Patricia to act for me, she has proved to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her realistic and thoughtful approach to matters helped me to take a more balanced view on things at a time when it could have been all to easy to allow emotions to take control. In the 15 years I have known Trish I have recommended her on numerous occasions and will continue to do so.

BBL Family Law have been nothing short of outstanding; Lucy Steele has been simply amazing - Given my own personal circumstances, Lucy has been completely focused on getting me the best result and outcome possible, under very challenging circumstances. Advice has been on hand throughout the last 10 months, either by telephone, email or in person. From the very outset of my maritial/family issues, Lucy has had a clear objective, which has not once been deviated from. Lucy has been resolute in her approach, always applying the correct amount of pressure to a circumstance to portray the law, my own personal feelings and what was the right tone for our approach to our subject matter. She is professional, empathetic and very knowledgeable - The moment you meet Lucy, you are immediately comforted knowing you are in good hands. My own circumstances have been difficult, but Lucy has not only provided legal advice, she has been there to provide encouragement and enthusiasm when circumstances were difficult - It is absolutely fair to say, different solicitors have wildly different approaches; Some are more focused on law, mediation and middle ground others seem more aggressive in their approach - Lucy most definitely has a balanced approach to every single circumstance, regardless of the attitude and approach of the opposing solicitor. The fees were set out before I decided to enlist in the services offered by BBL Family Law, they were transparent and very reasonable for the service I received - Lets face it, no solicitor is cheap but being given clear and decisive prices, coupled with prompt billing and clarity makes it easier to budget for. I cannot recommend BBL Family Law, and more specifically Lucy Steele enough - I would use their services again, should the need arise.
