Report
I called BD solicitors to see whether they could help solve a legal case. I was turned down on the basis that it would be impossibls to make a claim due to previous circumstances. A quick question to other solicitors it was revealed to me that actually it would be possible to make such a claim and that the information they provided me with was false. If you're looking for adequate consultation on how things work on a serious legal insight then I suggest you avoid BD solicitors entirely.
