David Preece is an exceptionally gifted solicitor. But most importantly, he is compassionate. I will never forget his kindness in challenging circumstances.

Fantastic service again. I am a chartered accountant and having worked with many solicitors over the years, David Preece is the only solicitor I would recommend to clients, he is excellent every time whereas with others it depends what they have on their desk at the time. His supporting staff follow his good lead and are equally brilliant.

Philip Cowell came recommended via a friend to legally take me through a divorce. The recommendation proved to be a good one as Philip's years of experience, his listening ear, his skill for dotting the i's and crossing the t's made a very sad and worrying time just about bearable knowing that the outcome of my future was in capable hands.

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.

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.

Jamie has helped me on several sales and purchases now and I'll never look anywhere else.
His communication skills, speed, efficiency and personal approach to conveyancing puts him head and shoulders above other solicitors.
Always there to answer any questions and get involved with anything that needs solving.
Appreciate his hard work to make a property transaction happen. Thanks Jamie

*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 โญโญโญโญโญ 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 fatherโs 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 ๐๐ผ
