Thank you so much Helen and Olliers.

Helen Buxton was the lawyer for my case and I can't thank her enough for the support she gave me through what was the most traumatic time of my life. I'm convinced that the pro-active stance that Helen and Olliers took was instrumental in the outcome being 'no further action'. Very professional with total empathy towards me throughout a life changing ordeal.

Hi, could I take time to thank Olliers Solicitors (Manchester) and in particular Helen Buxton for everything you did during the most testing experience of my life. I cannot explain the pressure and worry that my family and I went through over the past 18 months, however Olliers and Helen in particular stood by, supported and offered superb advice throughout the time of the ordeal. I was informed of progress constantly and had everything explained regarding my case in a way that I completely understood. I am so grateful that you have helped me get my life back on track, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend Olliers to any person requiring criminal representation. Professional and totally empathetic throughout this testing time.

We are very grateful to Helen Buxton.

My son was recently arrested and questioned in regards to a false allegation. Helen Buxton was at the questioning and gave excellent advice and support. The case has not gone to court and what could have been a very worrying time whilst we waited was made less by the support of Helen. We fully recommend this company to any other family requiring legal help.

I can’t thank you enough.

I’m pretty sure without the help Helen gave me that I would not have had the successful outcome that I got. Helen, you are a legend and a fantastic, professional efficient lawyer.

This should tell you everything you need to know.

It is never easy being accused of a crime you haven’t committed but Helen Buxton was friendly, knowledgable and effective enough to make me feel like everything was going to be ok. Would 100% recommend Olliers Manchester to anyone. When I spoke to a friend who works for CPS, they asked me who I had representing me and when I told her it was Olliers, she told me I was lucky as they are the best ones.

But I do strongly wish to thank you Helen.

You took the time to treat me like a human being at a time when I felt utterly worthless and I can never express my gratitude. I’m sorry if this email is not an appropriate gesture of appreciation.

I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Helen has a down to earth, friendly, yet practical approach. After my arrest she was quick to identify witnesses, provide updates and give me support through a very challenging experience. Thanks to her counsel the case concluded with a fauvourable outcome and I'm forever grateful.

A big thank you to Helen Buxton of Olliers.

5

I was a victim of malicious and false accusations. The first time I spoke to Helen she listened with empathy and advised me that in her experience allegations of this type were quite common. I was quite worried as this was my first involvement with the police but her confidence in me was very reassuring. Subsequently my ordeal ended with the police taking no further action. She was helpful and professional from the start and has gone the extra mile. I am extremely grateful to her and appreciate all that she has done.

A review for Olliers Solicitors.

Helen Buxton worked extremely hard during the time she was looking after me; everything from disputing allegations during interview to backing me up with evidence as well as answering my calls and texts during what can be understood as a difficult time.

I was very nervous having never needed to work with solicitors before. Olliers were very kind and friendly to me from the start and throughout the entire process. I found them to be extremely professional and I never once felt like they were being judgemental of me. Having Helen Buxton sticking by me through the entire process also really put my mind at ease, rather than having to reintroduce and build up a new relationship with a different person each time. I honestly couldn't imagine going through my case with another firm. Would completely recommend them to anyone who needed non judgemental and kind people to help with your case.

I can't praise Helen Buxton enough, there were times when I was really struggling to cope but Helen constantly reassured me and was the comforting arm around me that I desperately needed.
Helen's professionalism and very caring support helped to reduce the stress and anxiety that i was feeling and she gave me the confidence I needed to push on in what were extremely difficult and challenging times for me. She handled my case superbly throughout and kept me informed every step of the way.
Thanks to Helen I can now move forward with my life.
