Chris worked tirelessly to complete on our house. He was incredibly responsive to any queries I had throughout the process. He offered advice and guidance and never left a stone unturned in relation to the contracts. I am forever grateful that Chris was our conveyancer for us first time buyers. Thank you Chris.

I’ve been working with Mia as my solicitor and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support she’s provided so far. From the beginning, she’s shown genuine care and commitment to my case—it really feels like she’s taken my situation to heart and is fighting my corner with everything she’s got. That means the world to me, especially as I’m dealing with this largely on my own. Her professionalism, clear communication, and reassuring presence have made a difficult experience feel more manageable. I’m very happy with the progress we've made so far and feel confident having her in my corner.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 22 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Michael. We're thrilled to hear that Mia has been able to provide the support and reassurance you need during this time. Your confidence in her makes all the difference, and we’re here to continue supporting you every step of the way.

We had had zero experience with the law prior to this experience, our duty solicitor was far from effective. Then we found Peter and after 13 months of torture we received a not guilty on all 3 charges within 10 minutes of the jury being sent off to deliberate. Peter was amazing, I would text him all hours of the day and night, I had to whilst it was in my head, and although half the time I didn't expect a response, 9 times out of 10, I got one. He helped us navigate a very scary, confusing situation and I know without him, we wouldn't have got through it. Him and Mr Lander were exceptional. I hope we will never need his services again but if we ever did, his number remains on my phone! I can't thank him enough.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 16 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Bernie. We're so glad to hear that Peter and Mr. Lander were able to support you through such a challenging time. Your feedback means a lot, and we're pleased to have helped you achieve a positive outcome.

I had a complex case involving a property purchase via modern auction, which came with its own set of challenges. Chris was usually quick to respond and maintained good communication throughout the process. Despite the intricacies, we managed to bring the case to a successful conclusion, for which I’m truly grateful. I would definitely recommend working with him.

We had David M while buying our first home. He was professional, quick to respond and always available to contact. Made the process much less stressful and kept us updated all along. Next time we buy a house, we’ll use BLJ again

Collected on:
Popped in to the Maghull Branch to see Mr Leeman (who was very highly recommended by a very good friend) but I was most impressed with the lady on reception named Angie. She put my mind completely at ease, listened, took a proper interest in me and made me feel like there was a positive answer for all of my problems. I didn't feel like 'just another punter'. I felt understood and finally appreciated. So I'll go back there again now with any legal matters, because if the receptionist is that good (and Mr Leeman is a real winner too) then they can have all of my business.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 02 April, 2025:
Hi Stephen, we appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, we greatly appreciate it. We will be sure to pass your kind words across and we are pleased to have helped. Take care.

I had the pleasure to work with Jim and Jeremy, an extremely professional pair of solicitors in which took upon a difficult challenge. I am incredibly grateful for how hard they worked for me, the results were better than expected.

Everyone at BLJ was exceptional with their work. We bought the house and completed a day before the new stamp duty charges came in and BLJ especially Claire and Jasmin worked so hard to make sure we made the deadline, they really are a credit to the company. Always available to talk on the phone and always with a friendly and informative manner. I will definitely be using BLJ again in the future if needed.

An absolute joy to deal with from start to finish. Sam and Ellie kept us informed throughout the whole process of the house sale. All the staff we came in to contact with in Walton Vale were fantastic. Harry and Amy were extremely helpful when we called in. Harry as always was so friendly. You all have a lot to be proud of. Well done to all.
