Clients say

The firm specialises in public law/mental capacity and placement challenge work, achieving positive outcomes that enable clients to move to less restrictive settings. Clients praise technical legal expertise, clear explanations of strategy and procedural knowledge. Valued soft skills include professionalism, strong customer care, responsiveness and personal support during difficult times. However some feedback cites poor service: excessive billing-focus calls, lack of follow-through and very poor customer service experiences. Overall reviews are mostly positive about outcomes and communication, but occasional frustrations centre on perceived chasing for payments and inconsistent responsiveness.

1st class service

Due to a very difficult situation I had to call upon these solicitors and dealt with Cameron and Harley. I have to say the whole process was smooth and professional and these guys delivered excellent customer care. I would highly recommend. 5 star

Life changing support, cant recommend highly enough!

I would Like to offer my sincere gratitude for the support and legal advise that Victoria gave over the months undergone! her honest approach and compassion was second too non under the circumstances. The good news is that the right outcome occurred, however the time taken will never be able to clawed back including the heartache to our family caused by oppositions, I hope that Local authorities learn from events like these and realise not everyone is guilty! Without Victoria and her professionalism approach things could have been quite different!

Thank you for all your hard work at the bleakest time of our lives x

The incredible Laura Hannah, Sunyana Sharma, Martyn Jackson and Caitlin Taylor put countless hours of work in and they were all incredibly knowledgeable, kind and tactful. It was (and still is) an utterly hellish situation but we finally gave up after the situation caused me to be hospitalised twice; due to the overwhelming stresses over many months. We should have realised much sooner that you just can’t beat the almighty power of a large institution - even if one of the most vulnerable people in society’s life has been totally destroyed. There quite simply is NO justice. If we were ever in such an abysmal situation again (please no, it’s nearly killed us) we would certainly use Stephensons Solicitors LLP and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you for all your hard work at the bleakest time of our lives x

GOC Case

From the day Martin contacted me I was made aware of what my journey would look like. I was always kept up to date with any communications and information that came to light. I am completely satisfied with the final outcome.

Supported with a S21A Challenge

I was supported by Megan Taylor through a S21A Challenge process. This resulted in a brilliant outcome, meaning the person we support was able to move to a less restrictive placement. This has allowed the person we support to finally have the independence they have been striving for. Thank you for all your support on this case it has been invaluable. It has been a pleasure to work alongside you, and I shall look forward to working with you in future.

Supportive experience

Cameron provided an invaluable support in legal terms and personal support which was much appreciated in these challenging times. He was very educational about the approach to take which I could understand and agree to. The outcome was positive and I would happily recommend his services.

Shocking

Awful. Avoid. They call you 5 times a day when they want money then nothing happens. Worst customer service ever

For Eviction Procedure

Our Solicitor Sophie Chilstone was excellent. Sophie sent reply quickly not only that if we don't response within 24 hours she asked someone in the office to ring us and contact us and confirm whether we received documents or not?
