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.

Fantastic
James at Martin Cray is outstanding. He dealt with a motor offence which we were so worried about with compassion and understanding. James got us the best result we could ever have asked for and I would recommend him 100%. The office receptionists were always extremely helpful too. Thank you once again for all your support at such a difficult time for us.

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.

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.

Tamara was excellent to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Tamara kept us informed in a timely manner of any delays or changes with processes and was clear in what to expect. We would highly recommend Tamara for any legal services. Many thanks.
