We're original, because we're fresh thinkers and are straightforward in the way we deal with people. In fact, having worked this way since 1877, we've made quite a tradition out of being original. What clients are usually pleasantly surprised by is our warm, friendly and down-to-earth approach. People's personalities shine through, helping to create an inclusive and engaging work culture.
Jenny was always very helpful and went above and beyond to close on a short timescale. I believe I have been able to establish a professional working relationship with everyone I have come into contact. Importantly, I sense the relationships which have been established give me the confidence that I can make contact with Davis Blank Furniss at any time and on any matter.
At Davis Blank Furniss, we advise elderly clients and those looking after elderly relatives about how to protect their assets, preserve their lifestyle, and give peace of mind, even as time moves on and circumstances change. We fight on your behalf to obtain the best possible outcome and every client works closely with an experienced and sympathetic clinical negligence solicitor.
From birth, through school to adulthood, from the first job to retirement, each step of the way we focus on goals, dreams and ambitions, and in turn, we think this creates a secure environment for ourselves and for our nearest and dearest. The fact is people are living longer. And this raises issues about who looks after the elderly and how this cost is met.

I was very pleased with the service we received in dealing with my mother's estate. Very efficient and quick to respond to any queries. Having this kind of backup that I knew we could rely on and trust helped enormously during a stressful and distressing period.

We instructed DBF in July for purchasing a property, and paid 360 for searches. Jennifer was assigned to our file, and she didn't introduce herself to us or answer our emails/return phone calls until last week (mid October) after us chasing the searches for so long. We received the searches only after disinstructing DBF and they are for the incorrect address.

We have asked for a refund, and still fobbed off with 'we'll get back to you' or 'will look into it'. I can only recommend that you avoid DBF. We really wish we went with a different firm from the start, but sadly, still have to chase this refund which is currently holding up our house purchase. When buying a house should be an exciting time, it has been blighted by DBF - who are either incompetent or taking on too many cases to handle. Never again.

Michael Ball handled the whole process so smoothly and efficiently and I never had to chase him once, which I have to admit was not the type of service I had been used. I would recommend him and the team at D-B-F without any hesitation.

Worked with DBF for the sale of our house. Michael Ball dealt with our conveyancing process and cannot praise him enough. He responded instantly to all our enquiries and offered and outstanding customer care, explained everything in detail and trusted his judgment completely. Thank you so much!

We recently sold a house using DBF (Manchester) as our solicitor. Michael Ball was our contact. Michael's professionalism, understanding, communication and speed of response to emails was excellent. Something I thought was going to be stressful and a nightmare was made easy by Michael. We felt at ease and comfortable all through the process. Even completion day was calm. I have heard of horror stories from people, but ours was completely fine. It is important you have faith and trust in your solicitor In Michael we do. Thank you Michael.

I cannot thank Jennifer & the team at David Blank Furniss enough! Jennifer was brilliant at guiding us and worked hard to help complete all paperwork required to complete our house purchase efficiently! She was amazing at keeping in contact with me and would answer any questions i had, even outside of the general working hours. I would highly recommend this team & will almost certainly be using them in the future!

We just completed on the purchase of our first house, and I cannot thank Michael Ball enough for his outstanding service. Always prompt to respond and kept us well informed, he helped us every step of the way. He was very professional and knowledgeable throughout, he went above and beyond and dealt with some very difficult circumstances for us, we wouldn't use anyone else but Michael for conveyancing going forward.

Jennifer and Michael handled the sale of our old house and purchase of our new house. They were very informative throughout the process in the latter stages and kept us updated with what was going on. Moving day was very smooth and we had the keys by 2.15 which allowed us to get moved in quickly in the afternoon. We were very happy with the service and would recommend them.

I have just sold and purchased a property using David Blank Furniss. Everyone I spoke to there were friendly and professional. I cannot express my gratitude for Michael and Jennifer enough as the entire process was delayed by another solicitor in the chain. Michael and Jennifer both took the time to reassure my partner and I for any of the concerns we had and chased the entire chain of the sale/purchase to ensure that everything was being taken care of.

It was a bit of a rush to the finish (not DBF's fault) but Jennifer and Michael managed to Exchange and Complete (on the same day, making it more impressive) allowing me to move into my new home. I would recommend anyone who is in the process of selling &/or purchasing a home to have it handled by David Blank Furniss as I couldn't be more impressed with them. (Thanks again Michael and Jennifer for your hard work, it is really appreciated).

Michael Ball at Davis Blank Furniss was very responsive and pro active throughout my house sale. Responding to emails within the same day at the last latest. Which was very refreshing based on my previous experience of house purchases/sales. Which was no where near as positive I highly recommend based on my experience.
