    First class service

    I was lucky enough to meet David Latham as duty solicitor in court the morning after my arrest. David treated me with dignity and respect throughout, with an extraordinary ability to extract all relevant information from such a complex web of history and emotion. David was first class in his representation for me in court on a number of occasions, showing compassion and understanding whilst getting the job done. I would not hesitate to recommend David. His professionalism, compassion and understanding are exemplary. Many thanks for all your support.

    He did a truly fantastic job and made an unbearable situation survivable.

    I went into the magistrates court worried and stressed and David Lathan was the person who made me feel safe and supported. He treated me with dignity, kindness, and genuine care at a time when I felt completely vulnerable. He worked tirelessly on my case and stood up for me with strength and confidence in court. His dedication, compassion and professionalism meant more to me the words can express. He did a truly fantastic job and made an unbearable situation survivable. I will always be thankful for everything he did for me. An outstanding solicitors in every sense - 10/10.
