Crime/ Criminal Defence

Highly skilled and compassionate.

From the moment I had my first consultation with Kevin, I felt informed, supported, and reassured. He took the time to explain everything clearly, managed my expectations realistically, and provided sound legal advice throughout. Not only did he demonstrate exceptional legal knowledge and experience, but he also listened carefully, took the time to understand my circumstances, and considered how different outcomes would affect me personally. I was extremely anxious in the lead-up to my second voluntary police interview. However, after my consultation with Kevin, I felt significantly more confident, prepared, and calm. At the police station, I was represented by Gavin Smith, who can only be described as outstanding. He was confident, approachable, and reassuring, and his professional background made him the ideal person to have by my side during the interview process. He was meticulous in our pre-interview preparation, ensured I understood every stage of the process, and worked hard to make me feel comfortable, composed, and ready for what lay ahead. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of Hill Twine, I achieved the best possible outcome in my case. Just as importantly, the journey to that outcome was far less stressful than it could have been because of the way they handled both the matter itself and me as a client. Throughout the process, they were professional, respectful, compassionate, and thorough. I am incredibly grateful that Hill Twine took over my case from the duty solicitor originally assigned to me by another firm. The difference in the level of service, communication, and support was remarkable. I would not hesitate to recommend Hill Twine to anyone seeking expert legal representation and genuine client care.

I feel very fortunate to have had HillTwine represent me

Through the entire process, I was continually impressed by the service offered by HillTwine. From my initial consultation with Kevin Hill, to my debriefing after my Magistrate’s Summons, I felt I could not have wished for a more supportive and understanding professional to handle my case. I felt my case was thoroughly understood; my anxiety around the situation met with great support; the legal representation bringing me the best possible outcome.

Driving offences

Representation for magistrates court

I was represented by Kevin for a driving offence that was heard at magistrate's court. It was a very difficult experience and caused a huge amount of upset and stress and therefore I needed to treated with a sensitive caring approach with clear explanations of the legal jargon that I am very unfamiliar with. Kevin treated my situation calmy with respect, understanding and articulated my mitigating information extremely well in court. I was the most traumatic experience that I have ever been through and I appreciate the manner in which it was dealt with. Thank you.

We are really pleased that we were able to support you at such a difficult time and that Kevin was able to provide you with such reassurance at the same time as defending your interests in court. It is hoped that you are now moving on from all of this and it will fade into the past. On behalf of the firm, I wish you all the very best for the future.
