I was wrongfully accused of multiple serious crimes in 2023. After
extensive research, my family and I chose Reeds Oxford for legal
assistance. From my initial bail period through subsequent arrests,
the charging process, and my eventual trial, I was represented by
their dedicated team. I am now fully acquitted of all charges and
living my life as a free person—something that would not have been
possible without Reeds' unwavering support.

My case was large and had a tight deadline, so I worked with many
different members of their team. Every single one of them was
impressive, consistently demonstrating incredible attention to detail,
a relentless work ethic, and a determined focus. They were
professional yet compassionate, non-judgmental, and excellent
listeners. Most importantly, they gave me hope without ever giving me
false expectations. Throughout the entire process, I felt I had the
best possible legal defense team imaginable. I always felt like a
priority, continually supported, believed, and protected.

Reeds also organized an absolutely brilliant counsel team—a barrister
and junior barrister—who were just as dedicated, detail-oriented, and
understanding. Reeds openly communicated with my family and me,
presenting multiple options. We ultimately trusted their
recommendation, which was a wise decision. I truly do not believe a
better counsel existed for my case.

As the trial approached, the Reeds team meticulously prepared my case.
They clearly explained every detail of the process and answered all my
questions. Every piece of potential evidence I submitted was reviewed,
and its usefulness was explained. Reeds also organized meetings with
the barrister duo to ensure I was always fully informed about the
proceedings and behind-the-scenes decisions.

The nature of the charges required me to discuss difficult and often
embarrassing truths from my past. The Reeds team and the counsel they
found were always compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental,
offering a human approach alongside solid professional advice. This
was invaluable. Accusations like these can carry a heavy weight of
undeserved shame and a fear of not being believed. At times, Reeds was
the only group outside my family and close friends truly on my side.
Their vast knowledge and experience helped me understand how the
justice system works and how to cope with the immense pressure.

One specific experience stands out. While I was on bail, the police
provided us with new disclosure that, from my perspective, seemed
powerful and left me feeling without hope. I was dejected and sitting
in despair after a long day at work when my phone rang. It was my
solicitor, Stuart Mathews. He knew I would have seen the new evidence
and simply called to see how I was doing. I hadn't requested the call,
and there were no legal matters to deal with at the time; he simply
wanted to check on me and give me an opportunity to express any
concerns. After our conversation, my mind was at ease, and my hope was
restored. Nothing about the evidence had fundamentally changed, but
his call demonstrated that I was believed, I was supported, and that I
had experts working tirelessly to ensure the truth prevailed. This
wasn’t the only time this happened, but it highlights how crucial
their support was. Without it, I’m not sure I would have been able to
cope with the brutal process of the justice system.

For me, what was most impressive was not their professionalism,
attention to detail, round-the-clock fast communication, exceptional
experience, or relentless work ethic. It was how they managed all of
that while remaining entirely human, caring, and empathetic to the
terrifying and overwhelming situation my family and I faced.

If you are in what seems like an impossible legal situation, I assure
you it is not impossible and it is not without hope. If you have Reeds
Oxford fighting your corner, you will have the best possible legal
support throughout the entire process.

When we found ourselves unexpectedly in need of a lawyer, we asked our professional and legal friends around the country. The same one firm and one name was swiftly identified by all: Stuart Matthews reputation precedes him. He combines being warm, friendly and approachable with devastating intelligence and impressive efficiency. He also has the rare ability to really listen, question and then condense a complex narrative into an epic defence. His team at Reeds were also very efficient and professional. Stuart has achieved an excellent outcome in any matter in which he has represented us and we recommend him unreservedly.

I cannot thank Stuart Matthews enough for his outstanding support and guidance during an extremely difficult time. He represented me in a university misconduct case, and throughout the process, he was clear, calm, and compassionate. Stuart took the time to understand every detail of my situation and gave me honest, strategic advice that helped me stay focused and hopeful. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made a world of difference. Thanks to his expertise and support, I felt prepared and properly defended every step of the way. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone facing a similar situation.

After my arrest, I reached out to Mr Matthews at Reeds Solicitors. I found him extremely knowledgeable and supportive. He knew exactly how to handle my case and was with me every step of the way, and got me a fair result in court. I couldn't have asked for a better legal defence.
Thanks again to Mr Matthews and his team.
