Testimonials

Although we expressed our appreciation to you for your help and guidance, we wish to formally register our thanks in writing. From the beginning of the transaction to complete the sale of our business premises, Gillian Hindle at KBL was always available to discuss any developments both by phone or email. As matters progressed, and became somewhat stressful, her advice and reassurance was particularly appreciated, leading to the successful conclusion of the sale. In addition, we always felt that our matter was given priority as important individual clients. Thank you once again for your professionalism. We wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending KBL’s services.

Annie Boland CEO

P&A Medical Ltd

I was introduced to Sarah Collier of KBL thanks entirely to a Google search for a solicitor with speciality in employment law in the Bolton area. My association with Sarah was for only around a month or so but throughout I found her a reassuring, calm and clearly knowledgeable individual who clearly believed in my case. My partner and I had originally opted to deal alone but when matters were brought towards a conclusion, we felt it prudent to bring in a professional and we are so glad we did. All queries were responded to promptly and fully and dealing with Sarah helped reduce what was already a significant burden on my mental health. I fully believe our decision to involve Sarah was very much the correct decision and I recommend her to anyone needing employment law advice. In addition, my dealings with her paralegal, Sarah Taylor have also revealed a prompt, efficient and courteous individual and I therefore thank the two Sarah's warmly for their help in my case.

Mrs R, Bolton

The professional and friendly service from KBL, and in particular Maria Lonergan, made joint will writing less of a headache than we thought it was going to be. Communication was swift, either by telephone or email and our draft proposals were efficiently turned into draft joint wills that were clear and straightforward. The process was smooth from start to finish with clear guidance and advice, and with the ability to sign off our wills in person at KBL offices in Bolton. We are delighted with the service we've received from KBL and would endorse and recommend them.

David & Christopher Mills

I just want to say a massive thank for everything, Sarah and the team have been nothing but professional all the way through. Nothing could have made my experience any better, absolutely first class service, professional kind and caring with fantastic communication. - I will certainly recommend KBL to everyone I know.

Caroline Cox

I would just like to say that Sarah Collier dealt with my case professionally and with patience. I felt for the first time since hearing of my redundancy, that someone was on my side. I appreciate all that she did to make the process easier to understand and to deal with. I can't thank Sarah enough for what she did and how easy she made the whole process for me.

Fiona Hudson

Myself and my wife have sold two properties and Zaheer has been acting for us in both matters. I am writing to let you know how impressed and pleased we are with the professionalism of his work and also his general, friendly, nature. His advice has been invaluable. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Zaheer and we are so glad that he is acting for us in a property purchase. He is a credit to your practice.

Mr & Mrs Hales

From start to finish Maria Lonergan was outstanding. Firstly in preparing my late mother's Will and then concluding the probate with great efficiency. Her depth of knowledge and situations and likely outcomes is very impressive, the property sale was expertly handled by David Johnson with the same customer focused approach. Our family could not have been better served and I have no hesitation in giving the strongest possible recommendation of their services.

Mr Lancaster

Gillian Hindle has worked on several legal matters for me and I have always found her advice to be sound, timely and crystal clear. In addition, she has always been unfailing polite, attentive and readily available. She is both a consummate professional and a delightful individual. She also offers amazingly good value for money!

Martin Patrick

Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the work done by KBL. They handled my divorce and house transfer from January - May 2020. Ceri Thomas was excellent and very responsive with all aspects of my divorce process. Her assistant Julie Stott was also prompt when dealing with all documents and correspondence from Ceri. Zaheer Ahmed has been excellent with the house transfer and got things completed very quickly. Thank you for making this process virtually pain free when it came to all the legal side of things. I'm glad this chapter is over. I would recommend to others.

Miss Wood

I would like to thank Sarah Collier and Sarah Taylor for their excellent help. Their good advice and speedy responses helped to bring the experience to a good conclusion very quickly. Their friendly attitude and flexibility to co-ordinate actions with my contributions made the process as easy as it could be. I would recommend their services without hesitation. Thank you.

Mr Hulme

KBL acted on my behalf during a long and drawn-out divorce. They were very supportive, professional and knowledgeable during the 18-month case and provided me with great reassurance throughout this difficult time. Both Julie and Ceri offered advice on things I could do myself to help keep costs down, which is proof they have their clients’ best interest at heart. A great team to have in your corner and I couldn't recommend them enough.

Mr Hulley

I have used various Solicitors in KBL for many years and not only do they deliver, they do it with great work ethic and customer service. I would have no misgivings recommending their services. I would also personally like to thank Kathryn Maclennan (Insolvency Partner). The service provided has been second to none!

Mr Lowe

I would just like to thank Sarah Collier for her advice, service and diligence and Sarah Taylor for her constant updates, fabulous service and I'm very happy with the result. I was kept up to date all the way through which exceeded my expectations. Thank you both!

A. Woodcock

I just thought I’d say how much a pleasure it was to deal with Zaheer in your property team, I secured my new home at the end of last year and as a first time buyer I was obviously very green on a number of matters! Zaheer was a constant communicator and had no problems running through things more than once if I didn’t quite grasp first time round, you have a very professional team member who is a credit to the business!

Rob Taylor

We came to KBL with a very complex and difficult issue and Michael Slater provided us both with the energy and belief in the case which enveloped our lives.

Our worry, stress and sleepless nights could well have decided the case but Michael gave us hope and professional skill and analysis. His focus on the issues and facts surrounding those issues was instrumental to our case and without his skill and attention we would not have survived as a family now looking forward.

One more observation, Michael is a caring, approachable and thoroughly nice man. We would not hesitate to recommend him and his very supportive staff.

Melanie and Ken

Thank you Sarah Collier, professional service but still friendly and approachable. Always on hand to offer guidance when needed.

Jon Seddon

We found Zaheer to be one of the most helpful and friendliest solicitors we have ever used and I have already recommended him to 3 of our friends.

Mr & Mrs Spetch

KBL provided us with excellent service, Kathryn Fairhurst dealt with our conveyancing and was really efficient and brilliant to deal with.

Mr Shuttleworth & Miss Burrows

As a first time seller I found everything straightforward and clearly explained, thanks for making the house sale stress free and no trouble.

Nigel Crompton

I have been instructed regularly by the Litigation Team at KBL on a wide-range of commercial litigation matters.

Led by Mike Slater the team adopts a refreshingly commercial and tactical approach to litigation disputes all designed to identify and achieve as quickly and cost effectively as possible the best outcome for the client making use, as appropriate, of Court and Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Mark Harper QC

KBL offers pragmatic and effective advice with an exceptional degree of client care.

Jonathan Warburton

Warburtons Ltd

A huge thank you to Sarah Sayers for assisting with our house purchase.

Being first time buyers we were anxious and uncertain of the home buying process, Sarah’s response to queries was prompt and we were made to feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

Mr & Mrs Smith

Philip Stephenson and Anneka Traynor are very good at keeping you in touch with what is going on and generally shepherding you through the obstacles and unfamiliar processes that are required when selling your business.

I found Philip to be very professional, approachable and able to communicate in terms I could understand. I have to say both Philip and Anneka showed great patience when answering my at times obvious (to them) questions. Make no mistake, as Philip told me at the outset, “You will be pleased when it is completed” and I was!

If you have a choice - I recommend you go with KBL.

Stephen Wall

Corporate & Commercial client

You kept me completely up to date and informed of the process, you always take my calls or I receive a prompt reply or email, clear pricing and your extremely polite approach and professional manner.

As you are aware, I have been in business for 30 plus years and have used various legal services from time to time. We are very happy with your service and pricing, we will be happy to use your services in the future.

Mr John O'Brien

We were initially apprehensive and pessimistic, but from the outset we were put at ease by Michael Slater when he came out to our dental practice, largely by his confident and amicable manner.

We were not given false hope as we felt we had been by the previous solicitors, and his honesty regarding the possible outcomes raised our hopes for the case, of which at that point we had been prepared to stop pursuing.

We were after some compensation, and hardly thought we would achieve a 5 figure sum. To our elation we were not only awarded a 6 figure pay out, but our legal fees were also reimbursed for the trouble we were put through.

All the hard work and patience displayed paid off tremendously. I would highly recommend Michael to anybody who has lost their trust in solicitors, and is searching for a team that will take them seriously.

Chido Svosve

I just wanted to thank KBL Solicitors for all their support with the sale and purchase of our house. Sarah was supportive every step of the way giving honest advice as well as engaging with all parties and taking the stress of moving away from ourselves. As well as being competitively priced the service given was always professional. Again thanks Sarah and the team for your service and support.

Mr John Hooper

On behalf of my company Bolton’s Wood Investments Limited, I was recommended to contact KBL Solicitors in connection with a re-dress claim. Michael Slater was instrumental in assisting the preparation of the case for the Company and was directly involved with the proceedings throughout.

Suffice to say that without Michael Slater and KBL Solicitors’ involvement, the outcome would have been much less certain.

Mr Hulley

I needed to seek employment law advice - I found the professionalism and understanding approach of KBL amazing, they made the whole process of my settlement offer stress free, cost effective and satisfying. I would recommend them to anyone.

Mr Pilling

The family solicitors at KBL flex their legal muscles in what are undoubtedly some of the most personal and emotive situations imaginable.

My instructions to KBL arose from a very difficult and regrettable family separation. Not only were KBL utter professionals; they also dealt with the matter compassionately and appropriately at all times and as a result achieved a very good outcome.

Instructing KBL made a difficult set of circumstances easier to deal with and their support and commitment throughout was invaluable.

Many thanks again to you both for guiding us through this process and making it as pain-free as possible. I've yet to meet anyone who's been involved with a divorce and had anything good to say about the experience, so I think you can be very proud of the work you have put in!

Mrs Hurst

We were referred to Michael Slater when a problem occurred with the sale of a property that was an essential part of the sale of our company. They advised us on a way forward and travelled to South London to attend a round table meeting where they negotiated a settlement that we were very pleased with.

We found Michael very friendly, helpful and professional throughout the process and we would be happy to recommend him.
