How it should be done

Shannon breezed in, put everybody at ease immediately. She ran through the system, the evidence and her plan of attack. It was good that she listened to out thoughts with patience and did show a genuine interest in our input. She left the room to speak to the prosecution, we really felt confident that Shannon would put our case strongly. She returned entered the room and declared: case dropped. What a superstar, Thank you Shannon

Solicitor Review

I cannot thank Beth enough for the exceptional support and representation she provided during what was undoubtedly one of the most stressful and difficult experiences of my life. I was arrested in relation to a very serious alleged offence, which was entirely false. From the moment Beth attended the police station, she demonstrated the utmost professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case. She took the time to explain everything clearly, ensured I understood the process, and provided calm, confident advice when I needed it most. Beth was compassionate, approachable, and incredibly reassuring throughout. Her knowledge of the law and attention to detail gave me confidence during an extremely challenging situation. She treated me with dignity and respect at all times and was a strong advocate on my behalf. Thanks to the facts of the case being properly considered, I was ultimately released without charge. Throughout the process, Beth's support was invaluable, and I genuinely believe her professionalism and commitment made an enormous difference. I would not hesitate to recommend Beth to anyone requiring legal assistance. She is an outstanding solicitor who combines legal expertise with genuine care for her clients. I am extremely grateful for everything she did for me and cannot speak highly enough of the service she provided.

Had a great outcome thanks to David Thomson at Howard's. Was expecting a conditional discharge plus a £1050 fine. Prosecution tried to get a community order but Mr Thomson my solicitor out across my case with care, took his time and the outcome was no conditional discharge, no community order and a £500 fine. I pleaded guilty (as I was guilty) and thanks to Howard's and Caid Thomson I got an excellent result. Recommended solicitors.

I was worried about the trial and I had no idea if I had chose a good solicitor. Ian was fantastic from the beginning and I knew I was in good hands. He got me not guilty on all counts and I would recommend him to anyone. He was professional but friendly at all times, if you need a solicitor that will represent you brilliantly ask for Ian. He is a credit to Howard and Henry solicitors. Thank you for everything today Ian

Thanks for the great feedback and review. We think Ian is great too!
