Fantastic solicitor!

I assisted my friend who instructed Lina as her solicitor and was involved with her case throughout. I am extremely impressed with Lina’s professionalism, legal knowledge, empathy, understanding, commitment and compassion. She was simply fantastic! Always kept us updated and nothing was too much trouble. Her legal knowledge, confidence and assurance was amazing and really helped my friend through a difficult time. If you ever need a solicitor, she is the one to go for!

Attention to Detail, Outstanding Service, Great Work Ethic

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. Regulatory cases are stressful and time-consuming. Jared's work ethic stands out as superb and this is very helpful. It is really helpful for well-being to have someone who is clearly working so hard back for you- that is Jared. One of my wonderful witnesses was very proud to tell me that after emailing Jared a lengthy document at 1pm on a Sunday, he received a detailed reply just a few hours later. Jared didn't have to do that and we all hope he does get some good rest. But he did and it means a lot to me. I worked with Jared at Clifford Johnston again for a second set of proceedings and they were equally fantastic with a just, fair vindication the final outcome because of Jared's care and hard-work. and would recommend them wholeheartedly. Jared will take the time to see your case for what it truly is and help you get justice. He is fantastic.

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.

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.

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!)

Horup Khan handled our recent property sale and purchase in an exemplary manner. His clear and quick communication throughout the process was much appreciated, particularly as it was not the most straightforward house move. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to move house.
