BBL Family Law

Very helpful and have good advice which helped 😊

On the occasions that I have needed Patricia to act for me, she has proved to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her realistic and thoughtful approach to matters helped me to take a more balanced view on things at a time when it could have been all to easy to allow emotions to take control. In the 15 years I have known Trish I have recommended her on numerous occasions and will continue to do so.

I spent £267 on two wasted hours and was spoken to with an appalling lack of respect by BEVERLEY LONG, who provided a thoroughly unprofessional service throughout, taking sides with my estranged wife for no apparent reason. What happened to impartiality? During this session, Beverley Long made no notes, forgot what was agreed and appeared to lose the plot when suddenly asking me "Why have you picked up a glass (of water)?" She then asked "Do you feel safe in here Michael?" I replied "Sorry, why are you saying these things?" Furthermore, when I asked to borrow a pen, Beverley refused, even though numerous pens were on the table. My estranged wife, spent the majority of the session lying about events during our relationship, when actually we were there to discuss contact times for me with our son. Beverley made no attempt to stop her. When estranged wife finished speaking, I wanted to have my opportunity to defend myself but was simply told by Beverley that we are not here to talk about the relationship. Her failure to even attempt to stop estranged wife everytime she tried to raise a new complaint about me as a person is the reason why the mediation dragged so much and after 2 hours, all we had agreed was for me to have my son at certain times during my annual leave. BUT BEVERLEY LONG did not bother to make any notes and forgot what the agreed times were. This wasn't helpful when estranged wife was also playing games. DO NOT USE this law centre. They are not impartial and Beverley Long was deliberately trying to upset me. Perhaps she was just having a bad day. I wouldn't risk using her in case she has another bad day.

Spoke to a wonderful lady. She was very helpful

I would highly recommend Patricia Brodie to anyone wanting a divorce lawyer. She is very efficient in what she does and represented me with a service second to none.
