PRE CHARGE ENGAGEMENT

I cannot thank Maria Koukou and the entire team at Olliers solicitors enough for the exceptional support, professionalism, and expertise the provided throughout my pre-charge case. From my very first contact with the firm i was treated with understanding respect, and compassion. the team took my mental heath into consideration at every stage of the process which made an incredible difficult and stressful situation more manageable. Maria's knowledge, dedication and attention to detail were outstanding. She kept me informed throughout, explained everything clearly and worked tirelessly on my behalf. Her professionalism and experience gave me confidence during a very uncertain time. I would also like to thank everyone else at Olliers who assisted with my case. The level of care, communication, and commitment shown by the entire team was second to none. Thanks to there hard work expert representation my case concluded with no further action being taken. I am extremely grateful for everything they have done and would not hesitate to recommend Olliers Solicitors to anyone in need of specialist criminal defence representation. Thank you again to Maria and the whole team for your support and dedication.

Positive Experience / Outcome

Maria was very helpful in getting an arrest removed from my PCN record. Using information I provided about the situation, Maria put forward a strong case for arrest record deletion. Maria was re-assuring and understanding, which helped put me at ease throughout the process.

Olliers do exactly what is said on the tin. My case worker was knowledgeable, hardworking and communicative. She made a very stressful process go very smoothly and the representations she produced were clear, succinct and backed by a great understanding of both my personal circumstances and the working conditions which the incident took place within. I received the decision I wanted and Olliers were a vital part of this process. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I cannot recommend Olliers highly enough. The team were professional, knowledgeable, sympathetic and reassuring. Both the Nathalie and Maria were easy to contact and very helpful in filing my relevant paperwork along with representing me to secure a positive outcome. They contacted me promptly and also included guidelines for character references etc, which was of incredible help. I am able to put an incident due to severe mental illness behind me and focus on working in my field unimpeded by the DBS. If you have such a similar matter, please do not hesitate to contact them.
