Scott representing me
Scott is always polite and professional and has a way of taking you through the legal process with calmness and clarity. I couldn’t have asked for clearer advice and support. His knowledge on court was second to none. Thank you Scott.

Don't Be a Sucker Higher Tuckers
What can I say from start to finish Tuckers were superb. They put me at rest and listened to me and gave me such good advise and after hearing what I had to say they could not believe it and supported the way I wanted to go. You can not be in better hands than Tuckers.

Professional Services Court Case of Assault by Battery
I found my solicitor Mr Scott Neilson 100% professional giving me true and honest advice and particularly Maidstone Magistrates Court yesterday his presentation to the magistrates was extremely professional covering all matters and in much detail. I would have no concerns in recommending Tuckers and particularly Scott to my contacts in the future.
