Absolutely amazing service, goes above and beyond

I had a driving offence and honestly without Martin I would have lost it all. Martin understood straight away how important my licence was to me because of having a family and the need to have a licence for my career.

Martin Crawford-Brown is the best lawyer I have come across and the preparation for my defence was second to none. The communication was always clear and straight to the point and no hidden fees…

I can’t thank Martin enough for the amount of effort put in even with the shortest notice possible, I notified Martin of my court hearing maybe 3/4 days before-hand and in that time he knew exactly what to do and how to get it done.

Amazing service and worth every penny. Again I have to say, the best there is, thank you Martin for everything you did for me with such little time.

Victoria Denis of IBB Law is Great

I had the pleasure of being advised by Victoria Denis of IBB Law on a Education related issue and couldn’t be more impressed.

Her professional, friendly, and approachable manner made the process straightforward from start to finish. Victoria provided clear, honest advice with excellent legal knowledge.

Communication was excellent. The service was efficient and timely. I would highly recommend Victoria Denis to anyone looking for legal support.

Excellent Service

I contacted Martin at IBB Law regarding a matter on behalf of a family member. I quickly realised Martin was the right guy for us and as soon as he was instructed he quickly and effectively acted to resolve the matter to our complete satisfaction. I can whole heartedly recommend him.

A successful outcome

Martin represented me when dealing with unfounded allegations. He helped me navigate the implications of (what was to me) a complex and stressful case with sensitivity, clarity, patience and empathy. He helped me navigate and understand the options and approaches available to me, as I had no previous familiarity with criminal law. I appreciated the way he dealt with supporting witnesses with great sensitively. As a result, we secured a successful outcome, which was a great relief.

Professionalism Defined!

I can't recommend Martin highly enough for his professionalism and expertise in handling my son's speeding offence case. We were given short notice for the court date, and Martin made sure everything was in order. My son had a call with him the day before, and Martin provided a thorough briefing just before the court appearance. He was clear about the documentation required and managed expectations effectively. Although Martin believed a ban was likely, he worked to minimize its length. During the court session, he was articulate and quick to correct any inaccuracies presented by the opposition. Thanks to his efforts, my son didn't receive a ban. I would highly recommend Martin for anyone needing expert legal representation.

Help with university disciplinary process

My son was falsely accused of some very serious misconduct issues by his university. The wording, the process and the suspension were all terrifying and intense. We needed support in formulating our responses so we could challenge what was happening to my son and us as a family. Victoria Denis at IBB Law was fantastic. She was extremely professional and knowleadgeable and calmly guided us through our options. She helped us clarify our responses and was an enormous support. In the end, we had to walk away though, as the university makes the rules, investigates whose deemed to have broken their rules and then sets punishments - judge, jury and executioner. Although Victoria was a fantastic help, in the end, the university's processes and a breach of confidentiality in the case meant that my son was tried by public opinion and shunned. I am grateful to IBB Law for their help at a time when I didn't know where to turn. I think together, we saved my son's life and he will live to have a positive future.

Outstanding solicitor !

I had been accused of a serious offence , in which if I had been found guilty would have potentially ruined my life. Before finding IBB Law online I had trouble finding a firm that would take my case on due to having to change my plea to not guilty as the previous solicitor did not give me correct advice and failed to provide me with evidence/documentation.

Ibb law immediately took on my case and assigned Natalie to it. Natalie has been outstanding throughout, every step of the way she has informed me of what’s happening behind the scenes and put my mind at ease.

Natalie worked with the barrister before my trial and informed me of what would happen on the day, again putting my mind at ease. On the day of the trial the offence was dropped to a lower one which meant that I would not have certain things on my record and I was happy with the outcome of a fine and conditional discharge. A HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now I can get on with my life. Thank you so much!

Saved my drivers licence!

Martin was the best possible person to have with me in the court room. Him and Usama both helped me out massively with a very short notice before court date. The judges accepted what Martin plead for and I got 10 points on my licence instead of a ban which would of been detrimental to me. Thank you.

Sadly I have had a terrible experience with this law firm and its cost me dearly. Their mistakes have basically ruined the last two years of my life and lost me a fortune. And atm I can see no end to it. I'm leaving this review because I have asked for their complaints procedure but they have failed to send it to me. And there's no need to respond to this review by saying you can't find my communications, and then inviting me to get in touch. You know very well who I am.
