Without the help of Suzanne Tucker we would never of achieved our dream of building our own home. We struggled dealing with the council regarding our application for an affordable home which we finally got passed with her help. Her knowledge and professionalism is second to none and we would highly recommend her for any planning advice/needs.

Legal assistance regarding employment law.

I was looking for a solicitor who would be well accustomed to employment law, and I came across FBC Manby Bowdler (Midlands) Limited. I was pleasantly surprised by their positive customer service at the Redditch branch. The secretary who works there is a kind lady, and she has shown interest in dealing with my case immediately. That's when I was referred to Julia. I received a phone call within an hour, and we discussed my expectations briefly. I was told about the entire process, legal fees and everything related to my case, so it was clear from the beginning, and I agreed to proceed. Overall, I am very happy with the service received. The cooperation was very pleasant, and all legal options were explained to me in detail. This helped me to understand my situation and decide on my final step. I feel we achieved a great outcome from my case, for which reason I highly recommend lawyer Julia due to her professionalism, great level of communication and honest approach.
Thank you very much, Julia.

Today we have completed on a house and we highly recommend Su at Shrewsbury for completing our conveyancing. Su has kept us updated at every critical point. Its not an easy process but we felt very confident in her work. She fought tooth and nail for us in the last 3 days especially as it became time critical. Exceptional. !
