The Most Exceptional Experience

"This was one of the most professional service we have ever had. We've used 2 different Solicitors before for our numerous property purchases over the years but whilst their services were good, nothing could compare to the level of exceptional services provided by Stephen Rimmer LLP,"

Excellent professional

Louis Hall is an excellent lawyer. From the first day he took my case at the police station, he demonstrated great professionalism and expertise regarding the charges against me. My bail lasted six months, and I always felt supported throughout the process because he was always attentive to my emails and questions about the entire investigation. With his work, he was able to prove my innocence, and my case has now been closed. I highly recommend Louis; he has extensive experience and a strong sense of responsibility in every case he handles. Thank you, Louis, for your help.

For a serious case that had gone on for over a year

We was recommended Steven Rimmer solicitors by a family member when my partner was involved in a serious crime back in January 2024. Louis has been great from start to end, always got back to me within a day of making contact, made us aware of updates/changes as soon as he knew, turned up to every single bail meeting and was very professional and knowledgeable when being interviewed, which we believe is one of the contributing reasons for the case being dropped. We would highly recommend and will use again if we ever needed.

3 days calling to ask for advice and representation. Promised calls back that never materialised. Call them again and again, all running around some Louis guy not having a clue what's going on unless he's there to tell them what to do. Very slow, extremely disorganised and painful to deal with. Avoid.

A representative from Stephen Rimmer LLP responded to this review

Dear Jack, we did speak to you for half an hour and as agreed with you were awaiting a payment from you before we could take the matter any further. As you now seem dissatisfied with the service our Crime Team have provided so far we will close our file.
