SRA Admission

I can’t thank Steve Roberts enough for his support throughout my SRA Admission journey. It was a long and at times overwhelming process, but his guidance, reassurance, and professionalism made a real difference. I’m incredibly grateful for all the help I received and would highly recommend Steve and the firm to anyone going through the SRA Admissions process. Outstanding support from start to finish.

Help with an application to the SRA

As a lawyer myself it was interesting for me to see things from the other side. I did not expect to be in a position to need the advice I required but was so relieved to find Steve Roberts - an extremely competent, calm and personable solicitor who put me at my ease within minutes of speaking to him. I am so glad I instructed someone else instead of dealing with the case myself- his written response was extremely succinct and well put. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Steve Roberts at Richard Nelson assisted me in making a successful early admission screening with the SRA. Steve’s knowledge and guidance were paramount to my success. He provided clear, concise instructions and ultimately assisted me with an application that was pivotal to my career. I would highly recommend.

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.
