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.

What I thought was my darkest hour
In what felt like my darkest hour Steve was able to explain and normalise everything and give comfort, reassurance and confidence to help me realise that things were not dark at all. He handled everything impeccably and I can't thank him enough. I'm pleased to be able to get on with my career with a clear conscience.
