Experienced & Professional
My experience was nothing short of amazing. My solicitor was Victoria Duffy, who invested her expertise and time to my case. She was there from the beginning and was only interested in helping me, instead of other lawyers I contacted previously who only wanted to build up fees through additional consultations. The fee structure is very transparent, perfect for someone who has never had to hire a solicitor previously. Victoria used her sector expertise to win my case against the odds, with which I got merely a warning letter on a TfL case.
Outstanding Legal Support for TfL Case
I am very grateful to have worked with Victoria, who was absolutely fantastic throughout my whole case.
I was faced with an extremely complex situation where a decision for prosecution had already been made in court without my knowledge. A decision that has been ruled is very difficult to come back from, but Victoria was still optimistic that we could do it, contrary to my belief at first!
She always listened carefully to my concerns and was always available if I wanted to talk! She is incredibly professional in her ways of working, in how meticulously she describes all the intricacies of a prosecution case and prepares the necessary documentation for our defence.
All in all, I was honoured to work with her and would highly recommend BSB to anyone in the same situation - worth every penny!
Wholehearted recommendation
The hard work, diligence and support I received from Jonathan and Annie throughout my case was second to none and I would not hesitate to recommend BSB.
Excellent
Proactive, straightforward advice, delivered with empathy, Victoria made a stressful situation less so with her guidance. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for the best service I have received
I am so grateful to Annie for all her support and help with my case. I didn’t expect to achieve the outcome we did, as I had a court date set already and Annie managed to settle my case without the court. She is the most hard working person and very professional. She was supportive through out the process and always kept me updated. She is such a warm person too. I will be forever grateful to her as it was one of the stressful situations in my life. She never judged me for what I did and was very understanding.
I was sceptical to use the service initially, as I found them on trust pilot, but I am so happy I did. I highly recommend their services!!!Many thanks Annie!!!You are the best and I wish you all the best in the future!
Kind, helpful and on the ball !
James was super on the ball and well informed.Kind, helpful and understanding.
Would have not the slightest hesitation to reccomend him.
5 Star
Couldn't recommend Annie and BSB Solicitors enough. Helped to achieve my desired outcome despite tight deadlines, maintaining clear and quick communication throughout.
Exceptional Legal Support for TFL Case
I had the privilege of working with Victoria at BSB Solicitors on a Transport for London (TFL) case, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough. Victoria expertly guided us through what could have been a stressful and complex situation. Thanks to her knowledge and dedication, we received a favorable outcome.
Victoria’s professionalism and attention to detail stood out from start to finish. She made sure we understood every step of the process and provided invaluable support during a challenging time. The result was better than we could have hoped for, and we are incredibly grateful.
If you are dealing with a TFL issue or any other legal matter, BSB Solicitors is the team you want on your side. Their expertise and client-focused approach make all the difference.
Thank you again, Victoria, for your outstanding work!
BSB Solicitors - Legal partners to trust and rely on
As I battled through a traumatic false accusation, BSB Solicitors acting on my behalf stood by my side through the police investigation, the bail process and kept in touch until Police closed the matter and had the case closed. With very thorough, precise and effective communication, undoubtedly BSB is that perfect and right legal partner you need going forward.
Extremely helpful
Extremely helpful. Annabel’s consistent communication and clear answers to all my questions, made the process of dealing with fare evasion very easy. Highly recommend!
Fantastic solicitors.
I was very honoured and lucky to have had Mr Jonathan Black as my solicitor in a criminal case. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind, him and his team were very responsive and supportive, even after my case was finished. Mr Black's choice of a barrister for my case Ms Abigail Bright was also perfect. I am certain that their hard work and the defence presented in court allowed me to get the best possible result. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate what they have done for me.

Excellent service from BSB solicitors.
Excellent service from BSB solicitors.
Annabel has been accommodating and professional! I had a case of travel fare evasion that I didn’t know how to deal with, but she patiently managed to negotiate and sort the matter out for me.
Reasonable price compared to other Solicitors that I have contacted. I strongly recommend BSB.
Thank you Annabel
Jonathan Black - Exceptional
Thank you Jonathan Black.
I recently had a highly stressful case with transport for London. It would appear TFL are increasingly taking a hard line, draconian and unreasonable approach with people for genuine errors - seeking to prosecute wherever possible. My research told me that the odds were stacked against me.
This was a huge cause concern due to me working in a highly regulated environment and it may have had a substantial impact on my career, potentially catastrophic.
From the outset, Jon was reassuringly calm.
He struck the right balance between reassuring me and managing in my expectations. He was realistic, knowledgeable but importantly, also kind and compassionate.
His client care skills are exceptional and he is a credit to his profession. He was available all times for me and worked to a very tight timescale.
I will be forever indebted to Jon in my hour of need. It’s true what they say : you really do get what you pay for. If you are in a similar position and thinking about the cost of a lawyer then my advice is do not hesitate, he was worth every penny.
Thank you.
An outstanding experience with BSB Solicitors
I had an outstanding experience with BSB Solicitors, particularly with Victoria Duffy, the BSB Defence Barrister who handled my TFL case. Victoria was professional, knowledgeable, attentive and provided unwavering support throughout. From our initial consultation, she diligently grasped the nuances of my case and addressed all my concerns with patience and clarity. Victoria ensured I was well-informed and reassured at every stage of the process, explaining everything clearly. Her meticulous preparation and approach were evident in the strong case she built on my behalf. Beyond her legal expertise, Victoria demonstrated genuine care about securing the best possible outcome for me.
Thanks to BSB Solicitors, my legal issue was swiftly and successfully resolved and I am immensely grateful. Based on my personal experience, I wholeheartedly recommend the BSB Solicitors Team to anyone seeking exceptional legal support. Their expertise, dedication and client-centered approach make them an invaluable in navigating any legal situation. Five stars across the board!
Poor experience with BSB Solicitors
I engaged BSB Solicitors to handle my case, working with Victoria Duffy. Regrettably, their service was both unprofessional and somewhat damaging to my case.
As my submission deadline loomed, Victoria Duffy went on holiday, assuring me she would seek a short extension, which she never did. Post-deadline, she claimed her email to the investigators had bounced back. When pressed for proof, she admitted the email was never sent.
This failure meant my case was judged without my evidence, resulting in an unfavorable decision. Victoria Duffy later promised to request a case re-opening and claimed my position was not harmed by her failure to submit my evidence on time, yet she did not acknowledge her initial false statement about the email.
When I requested a refund of my legal fees, partners Jonathan Black and James Skelsey refused, defending Victoria Duffy's actions and asserting that her misrepresentation and failure did not affect the case's outcome.
I cannot recommend BSB Solicitors to anyone seeking dependable legal representation. My dealings with Victoria Duffy, Jonathan Black and James Skelsey have been wholly unsatisfactory, and I would advise avoiding this firm entirely.
