Crime/ Criminal Defence

Highly skilled and compassionate.

From the moment I had my first consultation with Kevin, I felt informed, supported, and reassured. He took the time to explain everything clearly, managed my expectations realistically, and provided sound legal advice throughout. Not only did he demonstrate exceptional legal knowledge and experience, but he also listened carefully, took the time to understand my circumstances, and considered how different outcomes would affect me personally. I was extremely anxious in the lead-up to my second voluntary police interview. However, after my consultation with Kevin, I felt significantly more confident, prepared, and calm. At the police station, I was represented by Gavin Smith, who can only be described as outstanding. He was confident, approachable, and reassuring, and his professional background made him the ideal person to have by my side during the interview process. He was meticulous in our pre-interview preparation, ensured I understood every stage of the process, and worked hard to make me feel comfortable, composed, and ready for what lay ahead. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of Hill Twine, I achieved the best possible outcome in my case. Just as importantly, the journey to that outcome was far less stressful than it could have been because of the way they handled both the matter itself and me as a client. Throughout the process, they were professional, respectful, compassionate, and thorough. I am incredibly grateful that Hill Twine took over my case from the duty solicitor originally assigned to me by another firm. The difference in the level of service, communication, and support was remarkable. I would not hesitate to recommend Hill Twine to anyone seeking expert legal representation and genuine client care.

I feel very fortunate to have had HillTwine represent me

Through the entire process, I was continually impressed by the service offered by HillTwine. From my initial consultation with Kevin Hill, to my debriefing after my Magistrate’s Summons, I felt I could not have wished for a more supportive and understanding professional to handle my case. I felt my case was thoroughly understood; my anxiety around the situation met with great support; the legal representation bringing me the best possible outcome.

Very strategic and understanding

Anna represented myself in a court. She was brilliant from beginning to end, ensuring I fully understood my options and explaining outcomes. She was realistic on what routes to take and has a naturally stretegic mind that created the best possible ground work relating to my case. It must be said, Anna is awesome.

Helpful, reassuring and informative

I could not find fault with Gavin Smith. I found the way Gavin Smith conducted our meeting helpful, reassuring, informative and friendly. I was told about your organization by a friend. If the way Gavin Smith helped me is an example of the service you offer, I think that you are on the right track.
