My life was turned upside 2yrs ago; Chloe Hingley turned it back the right way. Throughout my 2 years of working with Chloe, I have nothing other than praise for her. Amazingly supportive and reassuring, you never feel alone; nothing is a surprise or unexpected. A first class Solicitor and an amazing person. You couldn’t ask for a better person by your side through any difficult period. Thanks BSB, but most of all, thanks to Chloe. More...

Thank you for your support and consideration in dealing with my son’s case. Jim Skelsey provided an excellent service and has a very good experience and he makes you feel relaxed from the way he deals with the case. Thanks a lot

Firstly a huge thank you to bsb for helping me find monika who helped me with my case. I was stopped by tfl for having a card that was invalid to my use. Monika took my case and made me feel very at ease. I was very comfortable giving & receiving emails back. I was in the loop with what was going on and when I was explained that I had to do certain things and get documents I did so with no problem due to the directions and structure that took place. I was due to be prosecuted but with the evidence given, Monika wrote a great letter for me and I managed to get a written warning. All charges were dropped.

If you are looking for anyone to represent you bsb are the ones.

Thank you once again. My life has changed for the better and I couldnt thank monika enough. If you are going through a rough time and need help these are the people to turn to.

Many thanks.

Seona White was wonderful, at a most worrying and distressing time, from my very first contact through to a very successful outcome, she kept me informed, was kind, helpful, calming and reassuring. She negotiated for me and prevented the need to attend interviews and ensured the outcome was the very best it could be, and with the least amount of effort or distress on my part, in addition she was very very fair on fees and even refunded some of my upfront cost because she hadn't needed to attend interviews with me either . Overall a great experience amidst one of the lowest points ever, cannot thank her and BSB enough, professional, caring and fair, are not things you can say often, but in this instance all were 150%. Highly recommended More...

Cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from BSB. From the very first conversation, the team at BSB were professional and made me feel at ease. Their attentiveness and excellent communication throughout the process made me feel very reassured and I found them a pleasure to deal with. I believe that because of the thorough and timely way they dealt with my case, I was able to achieve an outcome better than I imagined, an out-of-court settlement, with minimal fine to pay. Would highly recommend BSB to anyone wanting professional, personable and responsive handling of any issue. More...

I want to post a huge thank you to my daughters solicitor Miss Chloe H for helping and supporting them when they were wrongly accused of ABH. My daughters found this very stressful having this allegation against them, but Chloe made them feel at ease with her kind, helpful and caring approach and with her outstanding expertise the case was dropped. I would also like to send a huge thank you to Jim for his support and advice. More...

Probably be able to help you if you made a mistakenly forgot to pay a fare or if it's a single fare offence. However, if you think they're going to help you with some like those 16+ oyster cards that students are buying. They are useless trust me they won't help you. They are not cheap trust me you could be paying anything from £300 to £600 depending on who handles your case. I've read a lot of forums online where people have used as well and haven't been able to change the outcome. More...

I highly recommend BSB Solicitors for any contentious matter or dispute. Mr Sahota is extremely professional, responsive and seeks the best outcome for his clients. He took calls out of hours and followed up exactly when he said he would. He offered clear advice, explaining all the potential outcomes along with the subsequent options. I was very pleased with the level of service provided and wouldn't hesitate to work with BSB Solicitors again. More...

I recently contacted BSB Solicitors in relation to a potential fare evasion prosecution. I discussed the situation initially over the phone with Hannah and then met at the BSB office in Central London. Hannah put me at ease straight aware and was professional throughout my consultation. It is evident that she is very experienced in dealing with fare evasion prosecutions and aware of the impact that a potential prosecution can have on ones career and volunteer work. The whole situation was resolved very quickly in just over a week and much to my relief I received a warning for forgetting to tap in, rather than a prosecution and a criminal record. I would highly recommend Hannah and I am extremely grateful for all her help on resolving this situation so quickly. More...

Back in September 2017, I came across a potential protection due to fare evasion. After a thorough research online my first point of contact was BSB because to their highly acclaimed reviews on both google and their website. I never thought I could get through it, being in my last year of law school my whole future was suddenly falling apart before my own eyes. However With Hannah's guidance I explained the events of my situation and how sorry I was for my actions. Hannah provided me with clear advice on the procedure and what I should be expecting in the upcoming weeks. I followed this and prepared absolutely everything which was required of me. within a month we were pleased with the outcome as TTFL had opted for a settlement rather than a prosecution. I am ever so grateful for Hannah and BSB's help and very much recommend them them to any one who is facing a criminal prosecution. More...

BSB Solicitors acted for me in relation to false allegations made against me from another country whilst I had been working internationally some years ago. Whilst knowing of my total innocence, the seriousness of the accusations and the fact that it was made internationally caused much concern and a very lengthy investigation by the British authorities ensued. Whilst answering questions relating to the allegations BSB Solicitors gave excellent first hand advice and constant attention in support of my position. Happily the investigation has recently concluded with the British authorities coming to a conclusion that the allegations could not in any way be substantiated against me and that there would be no further action relating to the case. I am very grateful that I was able to have BSB Solicitors at my side during this very disturbing period of my life. More...

Our son was charged with fare evasion by TfL, and faced a criminal charge, even though he was travelling on a validated Oyster Card and had made a genuine mistake. We felt he had no option but to plead guilty, but having done so, we sought legal advice on his behalf from BSB, who have expertise in this area. Hannah at BSB could not have been more helpful and always responded promptly to our numerous emails, and she inspired confidence that a criminal conviction could be avoided. This proved to be the case, and the charge was reduced to a caution. Thank you Hannah! We would definitely recommend BSB. More...

Special thanks to BSB Solicitors and especially James S who took on my case for "Failure to provide Urine Specimen".

Was involved in a car incident early this year and then was taken into custody, breath test was done but not valid due to health reason. I was then asked to provide 2 urine samples within an hour. 1 was provided and the 2nd wasn't and then got charged for it.

James was very professional, took his time to review the whole situation, analysing the written statement, tapes and cctv footage requested by him and then he was able to put forward a defence against them to prove my innocent I wasn't able to physically provide the 2nd urine sample despite they saying I was offered water and then refusing it which wasn't entirely true. It wasn't the perfect Birthday gift for me to appear in court but with the hard work of James S, I can now say its the perfect Birthday Gift at the end of it.

Am so overwhelmed and excited. Would definitely recommend to anyone 100% and thanks again to you and your team.

Without Jim Skelsey's help and hard work I would still be in prison. I was looking at seven years for a fraud I committed whilst in the manic phase of a bipolar episode. Yes I went to prison but for less than a year. During my trial I was hospitalized at a psychiatric unit and Jim visited me. He organized it for me to see a forensic psychiatrist and worked with my care coordinator and psychiatrist to put forward a defense.Sincere thanks Jim. Myles More...

I can't thank Jim Skelsey enough for his work on my case. Seemingly against the odds I had my charges dropped before trial and walked off into the sun.

I was facing the prospect of a drugs conviction which would badly damage my career. Things were looking bleak as the prosecution had physical evidence and police witnesses.

However I had maintained my innocence from the beginning and dug in. Jim represented me at my pretrial hearing and put forward my defence. We now had a witness of our own and put the prosecution to proof on some of their evidence. This was not going to be an open and shut case for the prosecution.

Two months before the trial I received news from Jim that the prosecution had decided not to proceed, citing lack of evidence. Needless to say I was over the moon. This result was made possible by Jim fighting my case and guiding me through the process.

I highly recommend Jim and the BSB team, thanks guys!

After many anxious hours being detained at a police station, I met Chloe Hingley from BSB Solicitors, and I immediately felt at ease. Her very professional and caring manner put my mind at rest. She seemed to have a great deal of empathy as this was my first time in police custody

She gave me great advice and I am very relieved to say the end result was exactly what I wanted, and no further action was taken. I would wholeheartedly recommend BSB Solicitors.
