Maria Douglas and the team at Olliers are a credit to the industry. My direct experience with them, albeit short, has been nothing short of positive. From the moment they answered my call I knew I was in safe hands. Maria herself is an asset, and credit, to Olliers as whole. Her attention to detail coupled with her genuine sympathetic interest in my situation, her readiness to react was reassured me that I was in the right hands. If you are reading this, you may already be in a position where a government body is attempting to ruin your life and you are considering whether Olliers is the right firm for you...the simple answer is "Yes". Pick up the phone and make the call because from the moment they answer you will know that you made the right decision. KMO

I would like to thank Olliers for supporting and representing me throughout my court case. I initially spoke to Maria who was very helpful. She listened throughout and kept me up to date at every stage. Thank you.

I used Olliers for a huge ‘firearms’ case for my son. Matt Corn represented him for just short of a year & took it to trial (in which my son got acquitted). Matt was excellent and I found him to be absolutely amazing… Not only was he empathetic with us as a family, keeping us informed every step of the way, I feel he went the extra mile for my boy & attended every hearing when some solicitors resort to video link or representatives ( as he was detained in a prison out of town) & really believed in my sons innocence & was passionate his job. He remained professional & very assertive to the case. Also behind the scenes was a very kind, supportive legal secretary Maria Douglas whom was there also every step of the way lending a friendly ear & talked the family through all the things we needed to know from a legal & friendly prospective!! I honestly can not credit those two people individually… They both a a true credit to the firm!!!! This case was a very serious/complex one & we had full faith in them & to our avail justice was served. I can not recommend this firm enough! Thank you for an amazing outcome!!
