Crime/ Criminal Defence

The Solicitor You Want On Your Side

Richard Cooper communicates clearly both verbally and in writing, provides honest and realistic advice, and maintains a high level of professionalism that inspires trust and confidence. His ability to manage complex matters is reflected in the quality of case management in court, which has been positively recognised by judges. The judge commented that the 'the solicitor behind the case did a stellar job' and that she 'commended him' as it was clear he 'went above and beyond' to reach the conclusion we wanted. His attention to detail, and a clear focus on achieving the best possible outcome is very evident. He is a super knowledgeable individual and no matter what always remains calm. A key strength of this firm is the combination of expert legal knowledge and outstanding client care. They work closely with highly skilled barristers, which makes a real difference to the outcome of a case. Compared with other firms, they stand out for their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and dedication to their clients. They are organised, efficient, and communicate clearly throughout, ensuring clients feel supported and confident that every possible step is being taken on their behalf. I would highly recommend using Sternberg Reed. Thank you Richard for all that you have done. You are definitely in the right job!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Matthew Tye – Sternberg Reed LLP

I recently worked with Matthew Tye from Sternberg Reed LLP on a criminal matter, and I could not be more satisfied with the service and outcome. From the very beginning, Matthew demonstrated outstanding professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible result for me. Throughout the case, he provided clear and consistent communication, keeping me fully informed at every stage. He explained complex legal issues in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring that I always felt involved and aware of my options. His attention to detail and strategic approach were instrumental in securing a very positive settlement in my case. Matthew also showed great empathy and understanding, which made a stressful situation far easier to manage. He was approachable, patient, and always willing to answer questions, no matter how small. His calm and confident manner in court gave me reassurance that my case was in capable hands. Overall, my experience with Matthew Tye and Sternberg Reed LLP has been excellent. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone seeking expert representation in a criminal case. His professionalism, dedication, and results speak for themselves.

I was recently represented by Richard cooper for a lengthly two and a half years in what seemed like a never ending court case, during this time Richard made me feel comfortable showing compassion and understanding. He is very polite, professional and hard working, his team and choice of barrister was just as amazing, to which they all worked hard in getting me the justice I deserved, should I ever need help again I would without question use Sternberg Reed again. Thank you Regards Neil

Great Solicitor and Excellent Service I would highly recommend Elliot and Steinberg Reed Solicitors as they provided me with excellent service, great advice and professionally represented me in my civil litigation case. At first I was very nervous about going to court but with the reassurance and guidance Elliot gave me I was made at ease. The outcome of my case was successful. Thank you Elliot.

Apparently incapable of replying to multiple enquiries sent via their own website contact form, or via email, over months. So I can only presume they are either lacking basic manners, or simply incapable of answering their own enquiries, or both, neither of which enamours me to them, particularly as I specifically wrote to them as a person in dire need of legal help, as a sick, disabled woman already being bullied by both the corrupt police and my prejudiced neighbours, needing help with a judicial review, which they should be well aware has a three month time limit, and they TOTALLY IGNORED my enquiry EVERY SINGLE TIME. I had also made enquiries previously regarding writing a will, since this situation will inevitably lead to my death, and once again, this firm, TOTALLY IGNORED, my enquiries, both via their web contact form and email, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Many thanks for making an excruciatingly difficult and stressful time even more so, and making someone who is clearly already invisible to justice feel even more so. It's firms like yours and non actions like yours that leave people like me in this situation, when they need not have ever been. 'Legal Assistance' like this is exactly why the bullies exist, and why they prevail. Update - I forwarded my enquiry as requested below (repeatedly), and they COMPLETELY IGNORED me YET AGAIN. Not even a courtesy email to let me know they could not help me. Just totally ignored. So I would suggest the response below is more an attempt to negate this review, and make themselves look better than they actually are, (since ignoring me in private obviously has no consequence for them, and they knew this public review would have), than any real attempt to assist me, and frankly an appalling one, bearing in mind the manner in which my enquiries have already been 'dealt' with. Thanks for the further reminder of my non importance to your company Sternberg Reed, and the appalling attempt to use my review to redeem yourselves, whilst STILL ignoring me. When I then finally gave up altogether and was forced to contact their staff directly, as opposed to via their clearly non existent admin team, I was then told to go 'elsewhere' and then blatantly ignored, presumably because I'd left them a negative review. Isn't it lucky this is just a solicitors and NOT a company you might be RELYING on for something TIMELY and IMPORTANT? Imagine if your WHOLE FUTURE depended on these people, and this is how they treated you? If this company spent ANY actual time dealing with the clearly serious issue they have replying to queries (some 15 emails and online enquiry forms by my last count, totally ignored), and less time apparently penalising clients for pointing out that clear and serious issue, maybe they wouldn't end up with reviews like this.

A representative from Sternberg Reed LLP responded to this review

We're very sorry that your enquiry appears to have not been responded to. We would appreciate it if you could please send further details to complaints@sternberg-reed.co.uk. One of our team will contact you to investigate this further and let you know if we are able to assist you.

I used Sternberg Reed for conveyancing - I had a difficult experience working with the seller and the sellers solicitor, their communication was poor and I encountered numerous issues. Raj Sharma and Vicki were a pleasure to work with. Raj gave us expert advice and helped us secure our purchase. Thank you to Raj and Team!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Richard Cooper since 2014 in a complex case. Richard was professional throughout and represented me exceptionally well from day one. I would not hesitate to use his services again if required and cannot recommend him or Sternberg Reed enough.

Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner’s case, got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer He’s been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I’m bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top
