Description

The Johnson Partnership was formed on 1st July 1990 and since then has grown to be one of the largest criminal law firm in England and Wales. Of the 10 people who walked through the door on the first morning four remain, even though one is currently on sabbatical. Bill, Chris and Digby remain as partners but they have been joined by the fourth first day member Emma Eardley who on the 1st July 1990 was our office junior. Since 1990 The Johnson Partnership has attracted more than its fair share of media exposure. In 2002 the partnership was the centre piece of the major channel 4 documentary series “Partners in Crime”. Our high profile cases and unusual working arrangements mean that we’re never far from the public eye. Many of our solicitors have appeared in the media and we are often called on by the BBC, ITV News and local radio to provide expert comment on criminal law issues. You can read more about our media work here. We also have a strong commitment to our communities and sponsor many local groups and activities

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Trial success

I had a trial at Nottingham magistrates court for 3 offences . My solicitor Euan Edward’s advised me to stay calm and let him deal with it . He managed to persuade the judge to dismiss the most serious charge despite there being numerous police officers ready to give evidence. He cross examined the main officer and quickly established that procedure had not been followed and the case was dismissed, my doubts about Euan quickly disappeared once I saw him get to work , he is an excellent example of a solicitor working to get the right result for his client.

Roxy

I was really nervous about going to the police station, but having Roxanne Brown there made a huge difference. She explained everything clearly, made sure I understood my rights, and supported me throughout the whole process. Roxanne was calm, professional, and easy to talk to, which helped settle my anxiety straight away. She took the time to listen to my side of the story and made sure it was properly put forward. I never felt judged, and she treated me with respect from start to finish. Thanks to her help, the matter was resolved with a community resolution, which was a massive relief. I genuinely believe the outcome could have been very different without her support and guidance. I would highly recommend Roxanne to anyone who needs representation. She really goes above and beyond and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Thanks T

Highly recommend Abby Edwards

I cannot recommend Abbie Edwards highly enough for her professionalism, reassurance, and wealth of experience when representing at the magistrates’ court. From start to finish, she was open, honest, and provided superb advice throughout the process. What really stood out was her down to earth and genuinely human approach. She made a difficult situation far less stressful and gave me confidence every step of the way. An outstanding solicitor who truly cares about her clients.

Vicki Clayton

I can't recommend Vicki highly enough. From start to finish she supported me with dedication, genuine care and her incredible legal knowledge. She always took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel confident and supported throughout. She went above and beyond and made what was a stressful situation feel manageable. I'm extremely grateful for all of her hard work and support to get me the justice i deserved. Thankyou so much Vicki wouldn't have done it without you.

Just seen the last review and I couldn’t agree more! They have been looking after me since last August and they haven’t put a foot wrong. If you want a solicitor you shouldn’t look any further than Rob Keeble and Amanda Parker at the Johnson Partnership!

Cannot recommend this firm highly enough. I want to give them more than 5 stars. I've listened to my friends moan about their solicitors for years, but these guys were just brilliant! They always came back to me within minutes, explained things so i could understand them, listened to my ideas, did everything i asked them, couldn't have done more! Thank you SO much guys.
