*The Patience, Understanding and Compassion of a Saint (presumably St. Thomas More as the patron saint of lawyers and the legal profession, of course)*
My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ endorsement of fbc Manby Bowdler Solicitors could be more sincere nor could my recommendation of them as a truly exceptional legal firm.
As the sole executor of my late father’s will I was already facing a complex situation, the likes of which, should you have no previous experience of as was the case in my instance, nothing could prepare you for.
And what's true is, even when attempting to deal with the array of vast complexities in matters of death - life doesn't stop coming at you.
And the only thing you can ever come to expect in that life is are *challenges* which absolutely like buseses will come along all at once at the time which they are most *unexpected*. It sounds like something one has heard offer and over again, but it's only when they are right on top of you do you begin to scramble around the bottom of your bag in the realisation you've left your bus pass at home.
And believe me - what I have faced in the months following my father's passing have arrived like a double-decker definition of those two, most operative, of words.
Both unexpectedly and oh so very challengingly.
Prior to my father's passing he'd engaged with Mandby Bowdler in order to investigate the possibility of raising a potential clinical negligence case.
Not a great time later he decided tovery inconsiderately and fairly suddenly die - which meant all matters fell to me as executor to his estate. This include the potential negligence MB were dealing with - a matter which prior to my father's passing, I knew absolutely nothing about.
Thankfully the investigation into it has fallen to litigation executive Chloe Forrester who, alongside the entire MB team, demonstrated a level of genuine care, patience, and understanding throughout - something I previously wouldn't, if I may speak so frankly for a moment, have come about from a load of solicitors.
Here though, I have ultimate not been left to, but willingly marched myself willing off to dine upon my words, my thoughts and, my very own fault should I choke upon attempt of eating, my hat.
Chloe herself I never once pressured me and truly empathised with how overwhelmed I had ultimately, in the face of all the loses, found myself being.
While I ultimately I chose not to instruct Mandby Bowdler to continue pursing the case (dropping it entirely Instead?, I can only hope that my words here may go some way as to demonstrate how incredibly grateful I am to them for every last bit of their support and professionalism.
Thank you once more to Chloe and, indeed, the rest of the team at your truly warm and exceptionally human service.
I hope we never should meet in this capacity again, but should it be the case I find myself attempting to navigate the area of life (and death's) great ocean where you may have a greater legal understanding of "maritime matters" - it'll be you I come to in hope as I absolutely know for certain - I wouldn't find myself for long lost out at sea.
Thank You 🙏🏼
