Fantastic solicitor and very professional service

5

I had Laurette represent me during a driving charge. She was very professional and has great legal knowledge, getting me the best result. Laurette kept in regular contact with me throughout the process and would respond quickly to any questions or queries that I had. I felt very relaxed knowing she was in charge of dealing with my court case and couldn’t recommend anyone highly enough. Thank you so much for everything you have done to help!

I would like to say thank you to Laurette for representing me in my court case. It was a very stressful time in my life which took 8 months to finalise. She was very knowledgeable and supportive throughout. As I have ADHD she was very calm in her approach to me in explaining what would need to happen and the process things would go through to help me understand clearly.

She managed to get me acquitted and the case thrown out of court due to her knowledge and ability to clearly put the facts to the court. I would highly recommend her as she is professional but down to earth in her approach which helped put me at ease

I would like to say thank you to Laurette Grace for her support and professionalism in supporting my son in his court case. This case has dragged on for 8 months and Laurette has been supportive and consistent with her approach throughout. As a professional myself that has worked within the court system & have previously worked with Laurette with my previous client group, I always knew how professional she was, but when it is a case for your own son, it really came to light even more. I have always been impressed with her ability to advocate for young people within the youth court system and how skilled she is in being able to help them to understand a difficult system under stressful circumstances.

When it came to my son, who has ADHD, needing a solicitor I knew there was only one solicitor for me to contact, and that was Laurette. As I was also living in Australia she put me at ease knowing she would support my son when I couldn't be there through some court matters until I could visit for the trial. On the many times she spoke to my son before the court hearings and at the trial she was very thorough, clear and calm, even at times when my son was getting clearly frustrated due to his own anxiety. She put him at ease with her extensive knowledge and therapeutic approaches. I can't thank her enough and having the case dismissed was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended if you know someone who is vulnerable or with a mental health disability that needs s solicitor, this is the lady that you need

Outstanding service!

Finally acquitted of s18 wounding thanks to Laurette!!
What can I say,I have been to and back for 3 years waiting for my day in crown court. All the time knowing if convicted I was looking at a lengthy custodial sentence. Laurette was recommended to me and Im so pleased she was, she goes above & beyond. She’s been with me from day 1 at the police station. All the way through to finally getting acquitted at crown court over 3 years later.
Hands down she is the best solicitor in every way possible. I’m not new to being arrested and she is by far the best solicitor I have had represent me before.
I was completely confident in her knowledge and advice at all times. She’s a proper fighter and I knew she was doing all she could to fight my corner. She was very thorough and clear and never missed a beat.
At times I completely lost my head with the stress of it all, I have no idea how Laurette was so patient and supported me to focus on what I needed to when I needed to. I don’t think anyone else could have.
I would not have got thorough this without her. She’s brilliant. Stick with her and you won’t go wrong. This is a solicitor that cares about her clients and will do the upmost to support you through your case.

Excellent representation would highly recommend. Laurette had my best interests at heart at all times and I always felt she was fighting my corner. I have every confidence in her advice and abilities. I was waiting almost 2 years for my crown court trial for serious allegations I was at risk of prison if convicted. This was very stressful and upsetting for me. Laurette was supportive and helped me to focus on what I needed to.

I have ADHD and learning difficulties and no convictions. I found the whole process traumatic and would often need matters explaining to me over and over. This was no issue to Laurette she responded to all of my questions and contact swiftly. I feel the whole case was a wasteof time and money my life was turned upside down for nothing. I walk away from a serious allegation with no convictions thanks to Laurette. It feels like a massive weight has been lifted and I can finally get on with my life.

It will however be weird to not be in regular contact with Laurette now as she has been a constant support in a very difficult and upsetting time. I’m grateful for everything. Cheers

Best solicitors I have ever used!

I have used lots of solicitors throughout England and Laurette Grace is without doubt the best. If anyone close to me needs legal advice she's always my first call and I know people I've recommended her to all say the same.
Recently my teenage daughter needed to be interviewed by the police and I was worried because she has ASD & ADHD so she gets very anxious, especially around strangers but I knew Laurette was the only person I wanted to help us. I rang her and she talked to my daughter for an hour before the interview to put her mind at rest. Having Laurette with her filled a normally shy, anxious teenager full of confidence when it came time for the interview.
I really can't recommend her highly enough. When you need someone who will fight your corner to the end she's the one to call.

I contacted ZMS for legal help and advice and Laurette made me feel at ease the moment she contacted me, she explained everything to me cutting through any jargon and went above and beyond to ensure I received the best service.

I knew that Laurette at ZMS had my best interests at heart and I felt safe in the knowledge I was being looked after from start to finish.

I would recommend Laurette at ZMS wholeheartedly. I’m truly grateful for being lucky enough to have had her as my solicitor.

I have always used Miss Laurette Grace as my solicitor. She has been my solicitor for well over 12years. I will only ever use her. She is an excellent defence solicitor. I know I can trust her. She gets me amazing results. I have had numerous not guilty verdicts and always got really good outcomes in circumstances on my cases with her. I was found not guilty of conspiracy to supply class A drugs estimated to be worth over £1.6 million of very high purity cocaine, only me and one other were found not guilty of the conspiracy. I accepted I was guilty of the supply all along and got short sentence in circumstances. I am confident in Laurette she is a fighter and always fights to get the best she can for me in any situation I face. She is easy to talk to and always responds to me when I need her advice or help. You will find no better solicitor.
