    Helped me to get my life back

    After five long years of the CPS making mistakes and prolonging the awful experience I was going though. Milena and her team stuck at it and made sure the truth came out. I feel as though I owe my life to Milena and her team for all their hard work and I can’t thank them enough! Thankyou now and forever!

    How it should be done

    Shannon breezed in, put everybody at ease immediately. She ran through the system, the evidence and her plan of attack. It was good that she listened to out thoughts with patience and did show a genuine interest in our input. She left the room to speak to the prosecution, we really felt confident that Shannon would put our case strongly. She returned entered the room and declared: case dropped. What a superstar, Thank you Shannon

    Had a great outcome thanks to David Thomson at Howard's. Was expecting a conditional discharge plus a £1050 fine. Prosecution tried to get a community order but Mr Thomson my solicitor out across my case with care, took his time and the outcome was no conditional discharge, no community order and a £500 fine. I pleaded guilty (as I was guilty) and thanks to Howard's and Caid Thomson I got an excellent result. Recommended solicitors.

    Dear Ryan, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that David Thomson handled your case with care and professionalism, securing a positive outcome for you. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

    I was worried about the trial and I had no idea if I had chose a good solicitor. Ian was fantastic from the beginning and I knew I was in good hands. He got me not guilty on all counts and I would recommend him to anyone. He was professional but friendly at all times, if you need a solicitor that will represent you brilliantly ask for Ian. He is a credit to Howard and Henry solicitors. Thank you for everything today Ian

    Thanks for the great feedback and review. We think Ian is great too!

      Saul Gardner at Howard’s Solicitors

      Saul kept me informed and current at all times. He acted in a professional and caring way that made me feel comfortable. I was impressed by his diligence and character. You should consider yourselves fortunate to have him on your team. Shannon English was knowledgeable and very professional throughout. She is a great credit to the company. She was diligent in her research and response. I cannot speak highly enough of this impeccable barrister. She is gracious and learned. Thank you Shannon
