Thank you - s18 Assault Manchester Crown Court

Mr Mark Dooley has represented me on a number of occasions. His professional advice has been excellent with my charges being dismissed in Court. I would recommend him and this firm to anyone who needs legal assistance. Thank you Mark.

Excellent Solicitors

Fantastic Solicitors. I have always used Favell Smith & Lawson. They have always been honest. I can always contact them. David Lawson especially goes above and beyond to help. I would never use any other solicitors. Tim Gaubert was amazing. Very easy to talk to, he listens. Advice given was perfect. Best firm in Sheffield. I cannot praise them enough. Outstanding from start to finish. Their knowledge is exceptional

Legal Assistance required

After a road traffic accident I needed representation . MD at Favell was professional, knowledgeable and explained what to expect going forward after initial contact with him. The outcome and result was excellent and I would have no hesitation in using them again should the need arise.

Paul Binney Driving Case

Initially was introduced to another firm who simply fed me incorrect advice simply for large amounts of money.
I was introduced to Mark Dooley through a friend who took on my case and I never looked back. He was always clear with his views never promising what could never be achieved. He went above and beyond in my view taking the case at short notice and producing the best outcome in court.
I can’t thank Mark enough for all he did and would recommend both himself and firm to anyone.
Thank you.

Best in class! - Court representation

Mark Dooley acted at very short notice AND Court representation in another city. I attempted to google Solicitors close to the out-of-town Courthouse however never felt any confidence in any briefing by various local solicitors prior to court attendance.
A colleague and friend referred me to Mark Dooley and WOW!. At the first call, he demonstrated his knowledge, experience and still made time for an office meeting and a court pre-review in advance. (we had 3 days prior to court). Mark went through ALL possible scenarios and potential outcomes. Surprisingly, Mark was also familiar with the court out-of-town and represented me with confidence. I was successful and the outcome was in my favour after standing with mark in court. I will now ONLY use mark going forward.

We have been dealing with Mark Dooley, a solicitor at this firm for over a year and he has by far gone above and beyond to help out my husband and I, no matter the situation, mark has been there to support and guide us. We have had extremely good outcomes because mark represented us amazingly. Would 100% recommend Mark to anyone!
