Appeal

Yes/no satisfied of the outcome because I know I was pushed to plea guilty because the barrister said the jury will find me guilty even if I didn't do anything. My solicitor at WhiteRoseBlackmans told me to plea not guilty because no evidence on one matter but never did anything wrong to the other matter either. Just silly things I said. I am going to wait until I get out to see if I can overthrow my convictions. Can't believe the jury would find me guilty on no evidence. I should have never been put in here because of what I went through in my childhood in the 80s, been let down like children are today getting blamed for something not their fault.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I found these Solicitors to be professional and knowledgeable, and honest from the start and throughout. Even with the complications of my case, and (perhaps) dealing with me, they have remained courteous, helpful, polite, engaging and positive. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm not wishing to jump into another legal dance off, but Jordans Solicitors are at the top of my list if it happens (Although I don't know what a legal dance off is...)

Tower of legal knowledge

Mr Newby and his team (even telephonists) have all massively helped me at times of sheer despair and have helped me get through my very lengthy sentence. Despite and uphill struggle and in the face of adversity Mr Newby has believed in me where and when perhaps other lesser persons of integrity may have given up and Mr Newby has built up my appeal which is close to being settled in the High Court! Brilliant Mr Newby is a Tower of legal knowledge, I call him "THE EQUALIZER!". He is passionate about Justice & Injustice and he gets the job done satisfaction guaranteed.
