Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

Satisfied with outcome
About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Driving Offence
This was a potentially serious case and Matt Bishop's calm, assured and professional advice was spot on. Following his guidance at the police interview the case was filed with no further action taken. I am extremely grateful for his work on this matter and thoroughly recommend his services to others in similar circumstances.

Crime/ Criminal Defence
Highly impressed A*** service
Matt Bishop tackled and won my case in regard to false allegations. I found Matt’s attention to detail, knowledge and representations to the police officer, excellent and highly preeminent. I thus, didn’t have to attend an interview regarding these false allegations and I believe, without Matt, that would not have been the case. Matt examined with precision, all of the evidence that I had provided and offered sort after advice and knowledge that was invaluable. The stress of being falsely accused and then having those accusations dropped, was definitely all down to Matt’s work effort and detailed understanding of the situation. Thank you, I will absolutely use this company again but I hope it will be under much better circumstances. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend Matt, he really knows his stuff.

Before I made contact with Martin Cray and co, I thought it was all doom and gloom as a male in a married family home, potentially heading for separation. Then Donna at Martin Cray & co, spun it completely on its head, Donna was able to see me at short notice and the info Donna provided me in my first hour meeting was incredibly encouraging, Donna was very clear and understanding. I feel in a much better place and clearer on the potential next steps. Thank you so much Donna and Martin Cray & co solicitors.
