Jacqui and her team, shoutout to Melissa, were both communicative, professional and kind from start to finish. Although I'm sure quite an easy case, they made sure I was informed from the start and kept me updated throughout the process- chasing the investigation, till they were able to confirm to me that it had been closed with no further action. In the nicest way possible, hope I never have to solicit their services again, but would recommend anyone needing a solicitor to go to Jacqui.

I honestly can’t thank Richard Nelson Solicitors, and especially Maria, enough for everything they did for me. Maria was amazing from the start. She was so understanding and supportive, and always took the time to explain things properly so I knew exactly what was going on. It was a really stressful situation for me, but she made me feel reassured the whole way through. Thanks to Maria’s hard work and dedication I received a positive outcome, which means the world to me and my family. I would highly recommend Maria and Richard Nelson Solicitors to anyone who needs a solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients.

My emails were usually responded to quickly. Solicitors felt very non-judgmental. Chased up the police on a regular basis for answers. The only thing I would say is that there were a fair few spelling mistakes on formal documents and in some emails. Apologies if that’s a bit nit-picky but it takes away some of the professionalism.

If you ever find yourself in the terrifying position of needing a defence solicitor, I would highly recommend Richard Etherington. He stood out from the rest from the very first phone call. He advised us that this situation would not be solved quickly but assured us that he would put 100% commitment. I did not hesitate to instruct him to handle our situation. (This turned out to be the correct decision.) Every step of our scary journey going through hell after an allegation was made, Richard handled each stage so professionally, from compiling a very comprehensive, detailed defence statement, to a extremely challenging but successful virtual interview (due to covid restrictions) His extensive knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. He even answered our phone call on a Sunday when we rang him in distress from the police station. Richard Etherington reassured us when we were at a particularly low point, but never gave us false hope, he was always honest with his advice, and kept us informed all the way along our journey. After what felt like an eternity, we eventually got the result of NFA. We truly believe that we would not have reached this result without Richard Etherington's professional knowledge and skills. We cannot thank him and his team enough.

Patrick has been extremely helpful during this difficult time for me. He has been so knowledgeable, hands on and most importantly made sure I understood everything without making me feel silly. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for helping me.

Jayne Harrison has acted for me twice now & I wouldn’t go anywhere else for employment law. She responds quickly, goes through the paperwork line by line, & explains everything in plain & simple English (including the parts I didn’t want to hear). Every call was followed by clear written notes & her correspondence with the other side was precise, well reasoned & effective. Fast, practical & straight talking, which is exactly what you need when there’s a deadline. Highly recommended.

I honestly cannot thank Michelle Lee enough for all the help, support and guidance she has given me throughout my husband’s spouse visa application. From the very beginning, she has been so helpful, patient and reassuring, especially during the stressful moments when things felt overwhelming and there were difficulties getting certain documents together. The whole process was quite stressful at times, but Michelle was always there to guide me through everything and explain what was needed. She took the time to understand our circumstances and made me feel supported throughout the process. I especially appreciated her patience and the care she put into our application, as this was something that meant so much to both me and my husband. Thankfully, my husband’s spouse visa has now been granted, and I genuinely could not be happier. I am so grateful to Michelle for helping us through this journey and for the part she played in bringing us one step closer to being together. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone needing help with an immigration or spouse visa application. Thank you again, Michelle, for everything you have done for us. It truly means more than you know! ❤️

I approached Sarah-Jane for specialist legal advice regarding a complex professional regulatory matter. From the outset, I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and approachable. She took the time to review the circumstances of my case carefully and provided clear, realistic and impartial advice regarding my available options. What I particularly appreciated was her honesty. Rather than simply telling me what I wanted to hear, she explained the strengths and weaknesses of my position and helped me understand the issues from a regulatory perspective. Her advice was not only legally informative but also practical and constructive. She helped me identify the steps I could take moving forward and provided valuable guidance on demonstrating reflection, professional insight and meaningful remediation. Throughout the process, I felt that my concerns were listened to and that the advice I received was thoughtful, thorough and clearly explained. What stood out most was that Sarah-Jane helped me move from feeling overwhelmed by the situation to having a clear understanding of my options and a practical plan for moving forward. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her services.
Richard Nelson LLP were very easy to contact, firstly through a very straightforward web form. I then got a very rapid reply linking me with Lawyer Patrick Macken who offering very prompt review of the documentation. Once in his possession, a phone discussion outlined his review of the document and he advised on any clauses I might want to consider in more detail. A change was subsequently introduced and Patrick checked this and all was signed off in good time. Patrick was very clear and professional, providing me with clarity regarding the documents wording, and answering my subsequent email queries very quickly. I am very happy with the service Patrick provided and will definitely use Richard Nelson LLP and Patrick again.
Dipo offered a first class service. Thorough and supportive through the process. Highly recommended
