About Us

Brendan Fleming broke all the rules when he set up his firm in 1982 with regard to the image of solicitors.

Typical comments from other solicitors at the time:

“He talks like a common Brummie, is he really qualified?”
“He actually sees people without an appointment!”
“He has a creche in his office, we must report him to the Law Society.”
“I have heard he calls clients by their first name!”
“He allows staff to call him by his first name!”
“He gets into work before his staff and leave after them!”
“He does not allow his staff to drink alcohol at lunch.”
“I have heard he’s even open on Saturdays!”
“Have you heard his advert on the radio?!”

Brendan kicked up quite a storm!

He was in fact reported to the Law Society for having a creche in his offices and faced the charge. It was claimed that he was unfairly attracting clients by the provision of care for their children.

Brendan received a summons to appear before the Law Society in London. His defence was simple:

“Please see tonight’s Evening Mail.”

The press had written a large article about Brendan and taken his defence stating that surely it could not be wrong to provide such a great facility for clients? They printed that the Law Society should be ashamed of themselves for ever considering such a malicious complaint.

The case was dismissed without a hearing.

Brendan is still looking after his clients with the same passion and dedication with the determination that low income families can benefit from his expertise and help.
