First Class Service from Richard Cooper
Firstly, I would just like to start off by saying that I had a fantastic experience working with Richard Cooper. Richard was a great help in dealing with a common assault accusation, where he spent a great deal of time and detail in explaining the laws and answering any questions or queries I had. Richard had a very efficient communication style with me, keeping my informed about the case at all times, and answering calls whenever needed. I would highly reccommend Richard for any cases similar to this area or more and I can't thank him enough for his hard work and advice that he provided for me throughout the process.

Richard Cooper - Excellent, First Class Representation
Richard Cooper represented me as my Barrister in a criminal case that was very complex, detailed and involved a stressful and very long investigation. From the first contact made with Richard, his support was incredible, very professional, dynamic and strategic, simplifying all legal terminology and explaining clearly the likely course of action. Richard understood the merits of the case very quickly and remained focused on how to secure a successful outcome and resolution. At all times, I felt very comfortable and secure with Richard as my Barrister and I will forever be grateful and thankful to him for his dedication and commitment to me and my case. I would recommend Richard Cooper without reservation.

I couldn't have wished for better
After our ordeal we needed help and sternberg Reed were recommended.
After the very first phone call I genuinely felt we were in good hands and that we had someone looking out for us . On the day of the interview at the police station, Richard listened to us individually and step by step put us at ease guiding us through the process with such an air of confidence about exactly how it would go and he was right, he point blank refused to let us be intimidated by any of it,
Richard took complete charge, and the whole ordeal was over and dealt with before we had even left the station .
Our situation was sensitive & traumatic and Richard I felt dealt with us in a manner that left us feeling not only believed but that we are people not just paper work or numbers to tally ,his compassion, empathy and expertise will be something I will remember for life. I hope to that we never find ourselves here again but if our situation does come knocking again Richard will be my one and only call for help.
5 star rating is really not enough. Lovely man, fantastic service. I couldn't have wished for better.
Thank you!

5 star legal team
Richard is highly experienced and came recommended to me through a friend to help with my case. He was very knowledgable on the law, honest, informative and efficient throughout the entirety of our communications with great advice. The case against me was dropped due to a legal argument after the trial had commenced and this was down to Richard and his team going above and beyond to help me.
Would highly recommend

Absolutely amazing!
Richard is incredibly professional, clear and concise whilst dealing with a case. I would highly recommend him and his firm. There wasn’t any point where I could not contact him, and if he didn’t pick up straight away, he would call me back at the first opportunity he had (even when he was out of hours!)
His personal approach made it incredibly easy to go through the legal system. I was incredibly lucky that he was originally the on-call Solicitor the morning after my arrest. I strongly believe that I probably wouldn’t still have my sanity if anyone else had dealt with my case.
Richard is incredibly honest and does not blanket over the worse case scenario outcome of cases, which can be scary at the time however his honesty prepares you for all possible outcomes.
The language that he uses is very clear to understand and he does not overload you with legal jargon that can sometimes not be understood.
I would highly recommend him.
