The Solicitor You Want On Your Side

Richard Cooper communicates clearly both verbally and in writing, provides honest and realistic advice, and maintains a high level of professionalism that inspires trust and confidence. His ability to manage complex matters is reflected in the quality of case management in court, which has been positively recognised by judges. The judge commented that the 'the solicitor behind the case did a stellar job' and that she 'commended him' as it was clear he 'went above and beyond' to reach the conclusion we wanted. His attention to detail, and a clear focus on achieving the best possible outcome is very evident. He is a super knowledgeable individual and no matter what always remains calm. A key strength of this firm is the combination of expert legal knowledge and outstanding client care. They work closely with highly skilled barristers, which makes a real difference to the outcome of a case. Compared with other firms, they stand out for their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and dedication to their clients. They are organised, efficient, and communicate clearly throughout, ensuring clients feel supported and confident that every possible step is being taken on their behalf. I would highly recommend using Sternberg Reed. Thank you Richard for all that you have done. You are definitely in the right job!

Great experience with competence and urgency

Our UK subsidiary was recently subjected to allegations of fraud. As an immediate consequence, our bank accounts were frozen following a decision made by the police. The bank’s position was that, for compliance reasons, they could not give us access to our funds. However, the bigger problem was that we were unable to understand the nature of the allegations or gain access to the details behind them, and therefore had no real opportunity to respond or find a solution. Only after a recommendation from a good friend did we get in touch with the law firm Standback Reed, where we were introduced to Richard Cooper. He proved to be exactly the right lawyer to handle our case. Within 24 hours, we had provided everything Richard Cooper requested, including data, company information, and details relating to the company’s customers and suppliers. Remarkably, within the following 48 hours, Richard Cooper had established contact with the police and the relevant case officers, explained the misunderstandings surrounding the matter, and just 24 hours later the police confirmed that the case had been dismissed and would not be pursued any further. Without the swift assistance we received from Standback Reed, we could have faced being left without banking facilities for 6 to 12 months. Thank you very much for your help. We would recommend you in the strongest possible terms at any time. Kind regards,

Exceptional Service and Dedication

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Richard’s outstanding support and professionalism throughout this matter. He has been incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, and reliable from start to finish. Richard takes his work very seriously and demonstrates a high level of commitment. He consistently follows up closely on every detail and keeps us well informed at all times. What truly sets him apart is his dedication — he remained responsive and proactive even during the weekend, which gave us great reassurance during a stressful situation. His expertise and clear guidance have been invaluable, and we are extremely grateful for his help in achieving such a positive outcome. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking a capable and trustworthy professional.
