Amazing company, first class litigation team. If your looking for a solicitor that can pull out all the stops then look no further than michaela guthrie. She won me a personal injury claim which was very tricky to say the least. Communication skills were second to none. Also very understanding and caring. Well done michaela. Keep up your amazing work.

We chose Balfour and Manson as one of the best ranked firms in Employment Law. They not only met but exceeded expectation on that front but what really impressed us most was the compassion, understanding and explaining complicated legal text in layman's terms. Sarah Shiels represented my brother, she is a brilliant lawyer and as a family cannot speak highly enough about her professionalism, knowledge and putting my brother at ease at a difficult time. Robert Holland (Head of Employment Law/Partner) took time out of his busy schedule to say hello and wish my brother & I well, took an interest in my brother's case which meant a lot. Our experience as a family was 10/10.

I Would like to thank Fiona Muirs for all the hard work she put in to my case. It was a long and lengthy process however, worth it in the end. (Nothing to do with fiona) I was always made aware of what was happening and Fiona communicated with me all the way through. I felt so relaxed speaking to Fiona and she always listened. Thanks again Fiona.

Sharon Bridget Green I seriously injured and affects damages through this firm. With their clients ability to false witness against I. I never their client. Ability shown by this firm and in the advisory position legal with other legal Brian's Black LLP Michael's Sweeney LLP and Stevenage Gleeson.

This firm embroiled themselves with U S A documents and out come I suffered by their strong hold power with chief of police Philip Michael's Gomeley landlord Mrs Gills and Larker Adger GPS and Staffordshire Police and social services All actions concreted from a false witnessing letter by legal Elaine's Motion and her client written legal submission began in letter for to I.
My home illegally entered into by police and acumation of others services collaborating false witnessing. This firm ability to protect civil and criminal actions not to be brought before the courts to protect I matters others legal obstructed from bringing. Both victims and legal are subjected to this firm and Elaine's Motion LLP adverse options with her known un named judge.
All practising to not allow safety of human lives and too busy protecting a broken legal system. This firms earns lucrative from international clients businesses kept concealed however this is potentially power of legal abuse to seek to take control of legal to do What they want and say. Balfour Manson legal are party to my overburdening of suffering and I had a nerve damaged face and a eye operation borne out of overburdening and illegal false witnessing With the power of legal company controlling I was arrested for truth in a most inhuman way Balfour Manson protect abusive partitions at the Edinburgh Roman Catholic Church Cathedral and false witnessed against priest in a letter to I.

However used to what intention? This said firm Balfour Manson are now subjected to party to serious rejection of truth and managing sensation data leafing false legal letters to threaten miss use law and not provide the full weight of the law in safety of human lives. What Balfour Manson say is not honest management case leading line of enquires with Scottish safe guarding Mrs Marine McEvoy and Maureen Campbell.
People are at high risk with these international legal who in essence revenge too I and other legal by false submission with their clients of inappropriate decision and refusal to protect all victims of serious abuses and in addition deliver power of position increased systemic failure upon I.
