Paralegal

Julie Grimes is a Paralegal in the Criminal Law Team at Bell Lamb & Joynson.

Born and raised in South Liverpool, Julie's career in criminal justice began 25 years ago at Liverpool Crown Court before obtaining a position in admin for Merseyside Probation Service and later being promoted to a Probation Service Officer based at Liverpool Magistrates Court for 10 years.

After a short time living in London, she returned to Liverpool and spent 10 years as a Crown Court Clerk for an established criminal solicitor, assisting in the preparation of a wide range of criminal cases.

Now Julie is a Criminal Paralegal at Bell Lamb & Joynson, where her extensive hands-on experience in a wide range of criminal matters helps her to deal with sensitive cases and assisting clients through what is often the most difficult times in the lives.

Julie ensures that the busy department runs smoothly, taking care of client calls, preparing legal documents, supporting solicitors with their case loads and covering a range of administration duties.

Outside of work Julie enjoys travelling, in particular, to the USA where her daughters live.

I could not fault Lily's advice and service during the process of buying a house. As a first time buyer, I had loads of questions, and Lily always got back to me promptly with clear explanations and responses. I also needed to complete within a certain timeframe, and they ensured that this happened and we were not held up at all. I'll definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Holly dealt with my recent case she was very approachable kind and professional kept me informed on a weekly and sometimes daily basis she went above and beyond to help me in what was a difficult time for me personally. I would highly recommend Holly and would definitely use her again if required.

We had a great experience with Lily and Olivia and Bell Lamb and Joynson. It only took 2 months to complete on our house and despite me being a nervous wreck Lily was patient throughout the entire process.

What can I say about Daren Jones, he was so understanding and helpful throughout my case from the start of my case and to the hearing was always on hand when I needed advice. Would definitely recommend Bell, Lamb & Joynson Solicitors.
