Crime/ Criminal Defence

Nicola Hunter is the one you want on your side.

I thought I knew my own case I side and out. I thought I'd identified every possible thing that I could use to help me defend myself against a fail to provide blood charge. Then comes along Nicola who reviewed all the evidence that I thought I had exhausted all possible fruit from and identifies thing after thing after thing that I did not even think to take any notice of and she takes these things and moulded them in to a.bullet proof defence that genuinely impressed and shocked me equal measures me as to how thr heck I was so far off the mark. Page after page of meticulous time stamped bodycam along with clever and savvy cross examination forming a plan of battle that was genuinely impressive and had me grinning with excitement was all for nothing as Nicola did one better and actually managed to get the entire case dismissed right before trial with an abuse of process argument that the judge was very much onboard with. I am soo grateful to Nicola for saving my driver's licence earlier today..thank you Nicola!

Abbie and Nicola were the most amazing people I could ever ask for defending me. They were both on top of everything and gave me ease throughout my whole court journey. Truly cannot thank them enough!

Absolute miracle workers

I’m writing this review today, when I should probably be sat in a prison cell. I think that speaks volumes for Nicola and the team’s work. Having worked with other solicitors firms in the past, the service offered by Cartwright King is phenomenal and I do not believe there are many other people (if any) that could have gotten the same result. The approach taken to the case was well thought out, logical and pre-empted problems before they arose. As a result, the outcome was far greater than I believe anyone ever anticipated. Not discounting the preparation work of the rest of the team, Nicola presented the case effectively and got the job the done. There are not enough words to thank Nicola and the team for their work and I can now look forward to enjoying the next chapter of my life.
