10 years after the event still very grateful.

Phil just wanted to say thank you for your professionalism and expertise 10 years ago when he helped me extract myself from a complex situation. Underneath his calm exterior there's an absolute beast of a Lawyer.

Have just recommended you Phil to a friend hence why I needed to look you up and just wanted to say thank you again I wouldn't be where I am today had you not put in the work you did.

Forever gratefull.

From the preparation of the will and gaining power of attorney to the administration of the estate and the conveyancing of a property. My family and I have been very satisfied with the services that we received from FBC Manby Bowdler Solicitors.

I had a positive experience with FBC Manby Bowdler, Stephen was helpful and patient, taking time to explain things I didn't understand. He understood the time pressure I was under and didn't delay anything under his remit. A great service and a very positive experience.

Have used FBC Manby Bowdler Solicitors for many years and for a variety of projects (lease negotiations, company formulations, property extraction, company sale). I have always found them to be extremely professional and both David Preece and Stephen Burke (as well as the rest of the team) to always go above and beyond. I would be very happy to recommended this firm to any potential new clients.

Our family business used the services of FBC Manby Bowdler in 2024. We were impressed with the professional and detailed legal service supplied, which was not cheap, but worth every penny for the reassurance and peace of mind the business had covered all angles.
Very confident in their ability.

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. !
