    Very Happy Outcome

    I was a victim of a crime carried out by a gang. I was forced to protect and defend myself against one of them. They falsely accused me of assault. It was a leghty case but Mr John Stokes was very respectful and patient with me throughout the ordeal. He took time to go through all of my evidence and was able to file a character reference on my behalf to court. After taking the case to trial, I was completely exonerated of all charges. As I told John, if I get in trouble again, I will call on him. Nice work John.

    Above and beyond for my daughter

    John was excellent in dealing with my daughters’ case. He read everything in so much detail and was excellent in representing her. He truly went above and beyond and I cannot thank him enough.

    Trust is key and vital!!

    Daniel Woodman & co have been my legal team for nearly 30 years and there is no other law firm I would trust like them. I have tried other companies and gone straight back to Mr Woodman's as I've not been at all happy. They are like my family and I trust and love them all to bits.

    Fantastic Solicitor & Barrister – No Fuss, Just Results

    John Stokes was brilliant — Clear, solid advice. Really cost-effective and clearly knows the local judges inside out. He gave me an accurate idea of what to expect and was great to deal with throughout. Proper professional and a pleasure to work with.

    Called for an appointment and they got me one the same day. John dealt with my request in a lot of detail. Ensured i understood everything i need to know regarding my enquiry, taking his time with every document. Then charged me less than I was expecting. If I ever need any legal assistance while living in Bristol again, this will be the first place i go to.
