Testimonials

I have known James Beresford and worked with BLM for many years. With any business we work with, our clients need access to good quality legal advice whether their circumstances are simple or more complex. The service provided by BLM is ideal because they are available to advise our clients and we know that the advice provided is of outstanding quality, and crucially BLM’s pricing is cost effective and transparent.

Private Wealth Referrer

On the recommendation of our son, we used the services of James Beresford (BLM). He was so accommodating of our inability to travel to the office, he came to see us in our home. He listened to what we required of him and he explained how to best achieve our needs. His professionalism and knowledge was very evident and this gave us total confidence in what he formulated. Everything was explained in detail and any options brought to our attention. The legal paperwork was quickly prepared and sent to us to read and then another home visit ensured any queries we had were resolved. The whole procedure has been stress free and we would not hesitate to recommend James as a "person focus" professional.
