FBC Manby Bowdler (Midlands) Limited

⭐ 1/5 – Extremely Disappointing Experience

I approached FBC because I was going through an incredibly difficult situation involving my daughter and genuinely hoped they would provide professional help and support.

Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. I was charged what I felt was an excessive amount of money, and when my circumstances changed and I lost my job, I found their attitude towards me became unpleasant and unsympathetic.

When someone is dealing with a family matter involving their child, they are already under enormous pressure. I expected understanding, clear communication and professional support, particularly after paying significant fees. Instead, I was left extremely disappointed with how I felt I was treated.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend FBC. I strongly advise anyone considering using their services to carefully understand the fees, what work will actually be carried out and what support you will receive before agreeing to anything.

I have kept the correspondence and records relating to my experience and am prepared to raise my concerns through the appropriate complaint channels.

A very disappointing experience at a time when I needed professional support the most.

I had a call today with Shelley DeWorringham and was really impressed with her support. She was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable.
I felt genuinely listened to and reassured throughout the call. Her professionalism and empathy really stood out.
I would highly recommend Shelley to anyone needing legal advice.

I instructed Shelley De Worringham to represent me in respect to contested Children Act proceedings. Shelley’s strategy and advice was spot on. She was 10 steps ahead and always made me feel as though I was in control. With Shelley’s help, I secured the Order that I needed and I am would have no hesitation in recommending her. In fact, I think you'll have to go a long way to find anyone more capable, attentive and understanding.

Shelley is an absolute godsend! In times of adversity she makes everything easier to deal with. Her patience and guidance is second to none, along with her knowledge. I instantly felt at ease and confident once Shelley was involved. Not confusing you with legal jargon and procedure. Everything was laid out in simple terms you really felt you were being helped, fighting for my best interests all whilst doing it with the upmost professionalism.
I was made to feel I wasn’t just a client, but someone she genuinely cared about.
Having Shelley in my corner I always felt I wasn’t going to get the best outcome.
Thank you so so much

I instructed Shelley after having been let down by my previous solicitor. She instantly calmed me and explained things in a way that was easy to understand and digest. I instantly felt at ease with Shelley and knew I was in safe hands. Shelley and her team worked relentlessly to turn things around quickly and secured me a great result which meant my quality of life was restored. I am eternally grateful and cannot thank Shelley enough.
