Acquittal from a domestic case

Highly recommend Howard’s solicitors especially Nikki who was very diligent in dealing with my case from start to finish. Nikki fought tooth and nail to have my defence file fully prepared for the trial. Nikki had a rather meticulous approach towards scrutinising the prosecution, especially that it was a complex case spanning 2+ years on bail! Nikki kept me fully informed and reassured at all stages, clarifying all the queries I had, especially as this was all new waters to me. I was extremely relieved with the outcome to have been fully acquitted from all charges which could have well been a life changing scenario! Thank you Nikki!

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.

Beth Nichol is second to none.

I cannot recommend my solicitor Beth Nichol highly enough. She represented me during a voluntary attendance police interview and was exceptional from start to finish. She took the time to explain the process clearly, listened carefully to my concerns, and made sure I understood my rights at every stage. Her calm, professional and reassuring manner helped me feel far more confident during what was an extremely stressful situation. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing legal representation. Thank you for making such a difficult experience much more manageable.
