Criminal Defence

We cannot thank Jared enough for the outstanding support and professionalism he showed throughout a very stressful time for our family. From the very beginning, he was prompt in answering calls, always kept us fully informed, and explained everything clearly and patiently. He never left us waiting or worrying, and always got back to us quickly whenever we had questions or concerns. Jared was extremely thorough, professional, reassuring, and completely on the ball throughout the entire process. His calm and confident manner gave us a great deal of reassurance when we needed it most. We genuinely felt that he cared and went above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an excellent criminal solicitor. His dedication, communication, and professionalism were second to none, and we are incredibly grateful for all of his help.

Support with DBS Minded to Bar statement

I wholeheartedly recommend Jared McNally at Clifford Johnston. The online discussions were handled very sensitively, which I was very grateful for given my low mood. Communication was clear and responses very quick. I was assisted to understand each step of the process and was very happy with submissions made on my behalf and received the result I was hoping for. I could not have done this on my own. I highly recommend.

Jared McNalley and Simon Gurney

I cannot thank Jared McNalley and Simon Gurney enough for the outstanding support and representation they provided throughout my case before the teaching regulatory authority. From start to finish, they were impeccable in every aspect of their work. Jared was professional, responsive, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. Simon’s advocacy and expertise during the hearing were exceptional, and together they made an extremely stressful situation far more manageable. What stood out most was not only their professionalism and attention to detail, but also the genuine emotional support they provided at every stage. They treated me with respect, understanding, and compassion while always fighting tirelessly in my defence. I would highly recommend both Jared and Simon to anyone needing first-class legal representation. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to achieving the best outcome were truly second to none.

Jared McNally at Cliffford Johnston & Co really understood and built up my case well. He and his team have a great package for regulatory cases which in my case included early access to a Barrister. Jared and the team took great care in presenting my case and came up with some great points from their detailed review of the evidence. I was really proud of the submissions they put forward on my behalf and they put the evidence I already had in a really persuasive way. The result was an overwhelmingly successful outcome, which has been a huge weight off my mind. I am already using Clifford Johnston again and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

As soon as I knew I was involved in a criminal court case, I contacted Clifford Johnston, my main point of contact being Lina (along with Erik). From the start, they were extremely professional. All communications were very clear and efficient; I was constantly updated, and they responded quickly to my queries. And finally, their efforts resulted in me being very happy with the outcome. I unreservedly recommend this firm.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Annie. We’re pleased to hear that Lina and Erik provided clear communication, timely support, and a professional service throughout your case.

Jared gave excellent, matter of fact and highly knowledgeable advice. He was great for the gathering of documents and statements. He pulled it all together into a professional, concise and laser-focused document that got exactly the result we needed. Costs were completely transparent from the start, which was reassuring, and a set figure meant I didn't need to worry about sending a follow up email. Jared replied at all times too, meaning I didn't have long waits to get help or answers (take a holiday, Jared!). I can't recommend Jared and by extension Clifford Johnston enough. Reassuring, friendly and professional.

Clifford Johnston & Co Limited

Dear Rick, Thank you for your detailed and generous feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that Jared provided knowledgeable, professional, and efficient support throughout your matter. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to both Jared and the team at Clifford Johnston. Best regards, Clifford Johnston & Co. Solicitors

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on. He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor

Horup khan solicitor

We have had the best experience with cliffordjohnston&co burnage , horup was our solicitor and ensured that our house sale was complete within 3 months. He was very efficient and thorough and helpful in the entire process. Given this was our first home purchase, we were very nervous and unsure of some things and he was very helpful, alongside his team and very upfront with costs from the get go.

Dear Khadijah. Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that Horup and the team made your very first home purchase such a smooth and positive experience. Buying a first home can certainly be a nervous time, so we are glad Horup’s efficient, thorough, and helpful guidance—along with our upfront pricing—put you at ease and got everything completed within three months. Congratulations on your new home, and thank you for choosing us.

WOW! Natasha is literally the best solicitor. Super kind, responsive, and easy to get a hold of. She also took the time to explain things to us as it was the first time we sold a house and we needed a bit of extra help. I'm sure we wouldn't have got our sale done in as speedy of a manner if it wasn't for Natasha. Recommend to everyone! (and we literally have!)
