Crime/ Criminal Defence

Exceptional Service

I was wrongly accused, arrested and investigated for a grievous crime. After thoroughly researching pre charge engagement it became clear to me that Olliers Solicitors would be my best choice. I sent them an email and received a callback that same night during which they explained the process and took my initial instructions. My case was assigned to Anne-Marie who has worked extensively for both the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and in defence. Given that the CPS is responsible for deciding whether cases proceed to charge or receive a No Further Action (NFA) outcome, her deep expertise in this area proved invaluable and gave me tremendous confidence throughout the process. Furthermore, Anne-Marie’s genuine ability to listen attentively, show real empathy and understanding, and explain complex matters in a clear, friendly, and approachable way made me feel genuinely supported, comfortable, and well-informed at every step. Even when away from the office or over the Christmas holidays, Anne-Marie was always quick to respond to my messages and calls. My case ended in No Further Action (NFA) without the need for CPS involvement, much quicker than expected due to the involvement of Olliers Solicitors. Many thanks to Olliers Solicitors and Anne-Marie.

Amazing service

After having one interview with a local solicitor who then never contacted me and left me with no way to contact them, I was directed towards Olliers. I had an immediate interview and was offered help for my case. I could contact Anne-Marie at any hour and she would reply to me reassuringly. Laura assisted me on a court date with a willingness and knowledge of the area well. I couldn't recommend them anymore, especially for the help they provided me during such a difficult time.

Excellent service

After taking on a local solicitor and him turning up late for the interview I googled Olliers and got in contact with them after reading there reviews. From the initial phone call I felt so much better. We had a face to face with Ann Marie and everything was so great from start to finish. We were kept updated by phone calls and emails throughout the case. I really can't thank Olliers and Ann Marie Nicholls enough. 5***** from me
