I can’t recommend Victoria enough!
I can’t recommend BSB and Victoria enough! She was incredibly supportive throughout my whole case and helped me get a successful outcome. She was informative, supportive, clear and incredibly reassuring which I didn’t get from speaking to any other solicitor elsewhere.
I seriously can’t recommend this practise enough, a huge thank you to Victoria in particular!!
Excellent professionalism and customer…
Excellent professionalism and customer service from Jim! Could not have asked for a better outcome and experience.
It is the best decision to go with BSB…
It is the best decision to go with BSB to handle our case with TfL. Victoria ensured to bring in quality by paying attention to every detail and helped us close the case within a month. I would also suggest them as giving authentic service with a fixed fee structure. I.e., there are no clauses that can trap you further once you are with them. All in all BSB keeps your peace during those difficult times.
Jonathan Black is a life saver
Jonathan Black is a life saver
I used my mum's 60+ oyster card to travel to uni. I have rang other solicitors and they told me I had no chance as I used it many times. I contacted BSB solicitors and spoke to Victoria, she was understanding and very professional. She gave my case to Jonathan Black, I know my case was serious and he saved me. we had a meeting and discussed about my circumstances. Jonathan dealt it very professionally and very caring man. TFL gave me a warning instead of take me to court. I'm elated when I heard the news. Thank you BSB Solicitors.
Jonathan saved my future, imagine at the age of 21 and having a criminal record. no way.
Thank you BSB solicitors
Amazing work so helpful and kind
Amazing work so helpful and kind, helped me out so much I’m so grateful
Thank you James Skelsey
Mr. James Skelsley was extremely professional and kind since our very first meeting. I'm happy to have found BSB solicitors. Being new in London, I found myself distressed when I received a letter from TFL for fare evasion. James walked me through the entire process and patiently answered all my questions. Upon receiving his advice and instructing him to send a letter of representation to TFL, I received a positive response from TFL in less than a week. I would definitely recommend BSB Solicitors. They are worth the money you pay.
Thank you Mr. James Skelsey
I'm delighted I choose BSB solicitors to take care of my TFL fare invasion lawsuit. Since this was the first time I had received a letter from TFL, I was rather concerned about how it would affect my career . I am extremely thankful to Mr. James Skelsey for handling my case in a professional manner and going over the entire procedure in detail. He went over all the paperwork with me and was really patient. My case was handled out of court with great success, and the result was excellent. Will definitely recommend BSB solicitors to everyone.
Great experience …
Great dedication and being responsive made the overall experience very good.
Victoria was amazing
Victoria was amazing. She was sincere, attentive, caring and understanding, she reassured me and took me through every process and step needed whilst making it very smooth and easy for me during my difficult time. I cannot recommend her enough, she was knowledgeable and well connected which was both reassuring and helpful to my case. She built a strong case which highlighted my circumstances and I am extremely grateful for her support and results.
TFL fare evasion allegations, 80+ trips that weren't mine
I found myself facing 80+ fare evasion charges from TFL for trips I never took. It was frustrating to see how TFL's process works, where they cast a wide net over the preceding 8 weeks, leaving the burden of proof on the accused. Having to gather evidence of my whereabouts felt overwhelming, as nobody meticulously documents every moment of their day with evidence. I believed this put me at a disadvantage, causing significant stress, and for the first time, I found myself avoiding the issue. Thankfully, I found that I could trace my whereabout with evidence.
Before turning to BSB Solicitors, I initially reached out to another legal firm, attracted by their marketing and claims. They promised a prompt response but failed to deliver, citing a backlog of work. On their website they listed what to expect as definite, which was not my experience. Feeling desperate and pressed for time, I realised I needed a law firm that would prioritise my case, regardless of their workload. That's when I connected with Victoria Duffy at BSB Solicitors.
Victoria listened attentively to my concerns and meticulously assessed my case, even extending our call beyond the allotted time to ensure clarity. She provided insight into TFL's legal stance, clarified misconceptions (apparently it doesn’t work the way you'd think), and outlined the necessary steps for my defense. Throughout the process, she maintained transparent communication, promptly rescheduled court dates, and liaised with TFL on my behalf.
Thanks to Victoria's expertise and swift action, the outcome met my expectations. Within a week of submitting my evidence, all charges were dropped, and I received a warning. The quick resolution alleviated my worries, and I appreciate Victoria's professionalism and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend her services for anyone facing similar challenges.
Thankful
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Victoria Duffy as I was dealing with an issue that really could’ve affected my career she was really understanding, direct and really made me feel comfortable throughout this whole process and thankfully got the outcome I wanted.
Amazing!
Amazing!! Jon went above and beyond to represent me
Can not speak highly enough of the team, any help, support I needed Jon was either a call or e-mail away and was very quick with a response and advice
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE TEAM
A HUGE thank you. Words can't express my appreciation!!
The best of Best of the best
The best of Best of the best! Honestly 5+ stars
Amazing result secured :)
I highly recommend Victoria and BSB team!!!
Chiltern Rail were set on prosecuting and securing a criminal conviction, which would have had a detrimental impact on my ability to remain in current work.
Victoria took time to know my case and most importantly circumstances and managed to secure an out of court settlement.
FYI - Two other solicitors told me it's a waste of time to try and secure a out of court settlement.

TFL Fare evasion
I was grateful to BSB Solicitors for their assistance in successfully resolving my fare evasion matter. I will be eternally thankful to Victoria Duffy for making things happen. I was so shattered and depressed since I had some technical issues with my bank and was unaware of the seriousness of the situation, so I simply gave my information to the inspector when he said I hadn't paid. I was very worried when I received the letters. For some reason, I was unable to acquire evidence from my bank and did not receive an appropriate response from them as well. Nobody believed me, including my sister, and I contacted other solicitors, some of them were arrogant and treated me as a criminal.
For the first time, someone listened to what I said, boosted my confidence, brought my smile back, and gave me faith. That is Victoria Duffy. For some reason, I got positivity from her first email, which was so positive, and when we had our first phone call, I felt so at ease since she listened and trusted me. The main difference from other solicitors is that everyone asked me to apologize for not paying the fare, whereas all lawyers told me that I did not pay. But Victoria Duffy believed me, and we proceeded with the truth in this case, I acquired all of the strong evidence as Victoria suggested, and I was successful in my case.
I contacted all of the solicitors throughout this time, so if you are going through a difficult situation, don't be anxious like I was, and for a peaceful and 100% success rate, I recommend BSB Solicitors, particularly Victoria Duffy.
Victoria Duffy is a tremendous asset to the BSB Solicitors.
Kind regards,

BSB - Jonathan Black
I first contacted BSB Solicitors during the Christmas holiday because I received a letter regarding a fare Evasion that happened back in October 23. The threat of a criminal record had me worried but after the initial call with BSB, I was reassured and Jonathan Black reached out to me in a few minutes.
Jonathan handled my case with Urgency and he was a true professional, bearing in mind this was during the holiday break. With his help I was able to get the best deal out of the situation. I’d definitely recommend.
Brilliant solicitors
I mainly dealt with Jim Skelsey but him and the team as a whole are great also! Jim went well above and beyond to help me, more than I know a lot of other solicitors would. He was incredibly professional and kept me at ease, keeping me updated on everything that was going on in my case and readily available to talk If there was anything I didn’t understand. Couldn’t recommend bsb more.
Jim done a great job with my son Owen
Victoria
Victoria was very clear with everything i needed to do which made the process very easy, she was also always open to any questions i wanted to ask which made me feel secure and safe. she wrote up my case amazingly, with the added bonus of winning it for me too. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in a similar situation :) Thank you!
Exceptional service
I was facing a daunting situation with TfL charging me for a fare evasion of £2, with the looming threat of a criminal record. I contacted BSB Solicitors and, from the initial call, their empathy and understanding were remarkable.
Victoria handled my case with exceptional professionalism, being very thorough at every step of the process. It was only thanks to Victoria's persistence and wealth of experience that TfL finally decided to withdraw the charges, opting for a formal warning instead – the best case scenario.
I am immensely grateful for BSB Solicitors' outstanding service, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for their expertise, empathy, and unwavering commitment to their clients.
