Lily dealt with my case with professionalism and was able to reduce the number of charges which helped improve the outcome to a positive light. Lily was also available to contact easily, and was very helpful providing the correct information when asked to help ease any worries I may have been having which helped ease my mental health while waiting for verdicts. Would highly recommend, great team at Richard Nelson’s.

Lily dealt with my case very professionally and promptly, chasing detectives involved swiftly when information wasn’t forthcoming. She was very quick in checking the evidence and came up with actions to move it forwards. She was easy to contact which helped with mental health waiting around for answers. Would highly recommend.

Excellent work from Eve couldn't have hoped for a better outcome for my driving offences.
Thank you for your time to determine a possible case . . . you were concerned, considerate, kind and understanding. I was very impressed and I am pleased to know that we still have lawyers like you.miss Shannon,miss Fraser , thanks 🙏
Richard Nelson LLP were fast and efficient. I would definitely recommend them as they really took the pressure off a stressful situation. They were helpful and very clear in the work they were doing.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Siobhan! We're so glad to hear that we made your situation less stressful with their fast and efficient service. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're here if you need any further assistance in the future!
When you are being prosecuted you need to hire someone who knows the law well enough to represent you so that you don't get hit even harder that you deserve. It happens all the time, the (throwing the book at you method). The book hurts. The police and CPS like to escalate charges. If you don't have a representative who knows what might happen. I had a solicitor from another firm before, same case. His representation was discontinued and I hired a lady from Richard Nelson LLP. She made sure the law remained honest, I was given a consequence that matched my offence not a hugely escalated sentence that would have been unfair. She knows things like what sentencing guidelines the court are empowered with and made a point to the court that they accepted which otherwise would have left me in a position where I would no doubt have been prosecuted again in future. Eve Paterson skillfully negotiated the safe zone between there should be a consequence and escalated charges to make it sound worse than it was. In my very humble opinion,if you are going into a courtroom without her good luck. But if I had a choice I would use Richard Nelson. Eve if possible.

We went to Patrick Macken at Richard Nelson LLP (Cheltenham) with a settlement agreement. He provided an extremely efficient service in swiftly reviewing the agreement and he offered us excellent guidance in order to ensure that it served our best interests. Patrick's communication is timely and his interpersonal skills are excellent. Highly recommended.

Khadijah Maqsood at Richard Nelson, has been super nice and helpful. She was super patient and understanding and would definitely recommend her. Thanks Again Khadijah for all the help ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you for this lovely review which is much appreciated
From the first call and throughout the whole process to its successful outcome Rita was robust, approachable and tenacious in doing all she could to ensure that we understood all that we needed to provide so that she could present the very best case in our visa application. Highly recommended.
I had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. The attorney who was handling my case failed to complete my paperwork even after I had fully paid all the agreed fees. After we finalized everything from my side and I paid the full amount, my documents remained pending for an entire year. During that time, I repeatedly tried to contact her for updates, but she did not respond to my messages. This lack of communication and delay caused me significant stress and inconvenience. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and accountability, especially after fulfilling all my financial obligations. I hope the firm takes this matter seriously and improves its communication and commitment to clients.
I am sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing. There are often delays by HM Land Registry which are outside of our control, where they often take over a year before completing a registration. However, it sounds like there were potentially communication issue where we could have done better to manage your expectations and to communicate with you. If you would like us to explore this further offline with you, then please do reach out to us at complaints@richardnelsonllp.co.uk. Thank you.
I worked with Rita for over nine years on my spouse visa application. Throughout the entire process, she was exceptionally professional, understanding, and consistently well‑organised. Her dedication and expertise made a huge difference, and thanks to her fantastic work, my visa has finally been granted. I would highly recommend Rita’s services.
Rita provided outstanding support with my father’s British citizenship application. She was professional and always clear in her communication, which made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the application was successful. I’m very grateful for Rita’s excellent service and would highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration solicitor!
