Beyond grateful

5

In the midst of an ongoing legal battle, Nicola Bruce from Olliers has been my unwavering support. As my case continues, her proactive approach and empathetic counsel have been crucial. Grateful for her dedication, I'm navigating false accusations with confidence, knowing I'm in capable hands. For anyone facing pre-charge issues, I strongly recommend Olliers, particularly Nicola. Despite the ongoing nature of my case, her expertise provides assurance and guidance through the complexities. This journey is ongoing, but with Nicola on my side, I am steadfast in my pursuit of justice.

Pre-charge engagement

5

I had previously been to another criminal solicitor who had told me there would most likely be a charge for my case. I was worried about the potential impact of this on my career, so I did my research and found out about Olliers Solicitors and pre-charge engagement.
Nicola was assigned to my case and she did an amazing job with my pre-charge engagement. Case was closed with no further action. I would give 6 stars if I could.

I instructed Olliers to represent me with a case which is currently ongoing.
I was appointed Nicola Bruce to deal with pre charge representation.
I selected Olliers after speaking to four other reputable law firms, a lot of the other firms was significantly cheaper however would not allow me to talk to a solicitor without paying money first (£3000>).
I informed one law firm that I had lines of enquiries that needed to be delivered however was met with the reply of
“it’s a bit of a waiting game at this stage”
To which I strongly disagreed with, but was happy for me to pay £3000 to essentially wait? And be a go between?
I initially spoke with Ruth twice for a considerable amount of time discussing the circumstances to which she agreed they could assist me with and that I had some good points that should be delivered.
I later received a phone call from Nicola Bruce to discuss further after them being appointed.
She clearly broke down the legal side and what information was required which I needed to deliver on in order for her to execute.
To date, Nicola and Olliers have delivered, I hope Olliers, Nicola and myself continue the hard work in due course.
