Help with an application to the SRA

Steve Roberts was excellent in helping me with my application to the SRA. He gave me the support and knowledge to put my all into my application and make it as strong as possible. I trusted in his confidence and reassurance that I would receive a successful outcome. I'm very glad I sought his guidance.

5 Stars is not enough.

I cannot thank my solicitor enough for the incredible support and professionalism shown throughout my case. From the very beginning, I was extremely anxious and unsure of what to expect. However, he took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and made a very stressful situation feel manageable. His calm and confident approach reassured me during the most difficult moments, and his expertise helped us achieve a successful result. I always felt like he genuinely cared about my case and had my best interests at heart. I’m truly grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal help. An outstanding solicitor who goes above and beyond.

5* service

I had the privelege of having Steve Roberts as my lawyer over the course of 5-6 months on aparticular tricky and emotionally draining case. From the very beginning, Steve not only demonstrated deep legal knowledge and professionalism but also genuine empathy and understanding for what I was going through. During a time when I was genuinly upset and overwhelmed, he brought a much needed sense of calmness and clarity to the situation. He was always available, easy to contact and open in his communication, which made this stressful processfeel much more manageable. From the initial charges to the day of the hearing, Steve remained consistenly supportive as well as proactive, guiding me through every single step with patience and clear advice. Thanks to his dedication, knowledge and expertise, we managed to acheive the best possible outcome in a complex and challenging situation. I cant recommend Steve highly enough. If youre facing a tricky issue and want someone who not only knows the ins and outs but genuinly cares, then Steve is the person to go too. Can't thank Steve enough for what he done in my case, and for sure if I didn't have him along side me things could have turned out very differently.

I was well advised and represented by Steve Roberts throughout my defence during a disciplinary procedure brought by the ICAEW. I am sure that the satisfactory outcome of this episode was due , to a considerable extent , to his close attetion and wise advice.
