PRE CHARGE ENGAGEMENT

I cannot thank Maria Koukou and the entire team at Olliers solicitors enough for the exceptional support, professionalism, and expertise the provided throughout my pre-charge case. From my very first contact with the firm i was treated with understanding respect, and compassion. the team took my mental heath into consideration at every stage of the process which made an incredible difficult and stressful situation more manageable. Maria's knowledge, dedication and attention to detail were outstanding. She kept me informed throughout, explained everything clearly and worked tirelessly on my behalf. Her professionalism and experience gave me confidence during a very uncertain time. I would also like to thank everyone else at Olliers who assisted with my case. The level of care, communication, and commitment shown by the entire team was second to none. Thanks to there hard work expert representation my case concluded with no further action being taken. I am extremely grateful for everything they have done and would not hesitate to recommend Olliers Solicitors to anyone in need of specialist criminal defence representation. Thank you again to Maria and the whole team for your support and dedication.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Great Result of NFA via Pre Charge Support

Hope took the time to understand me and my case and help with not only the legal requirements but also helped advise me on some personal struggles such as work, accommodation and travel. We had minimal input from the police but had a plan in place that was constantly being updated as new facts came to light, all the way through my own opinion was valued and taken account of. Ultimately the investigation led to an NFA, its easy to say this would have happened anyway but my belief is that by having professional support and showing you are willing to challenge any decision via a competent professional with fact based evidence led to this decision being reached faster and with more surety than leaving the appointment of legal council until later in the process

Exceptional Service

I was wrongly accused, arrested and investigated for a grievous crime. After thoroughly researching pre charge engagement it became clear to me that Olliers Solicitors would be my best choice. I sent them an email and received a callback that same night during which they explained the process and took my initial instructions. My case was assigned to Anne-Marie who has worked extensively for both the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and in defence. Given that the CPS is responsible for deciding whether cases proceed to charge or receive a No Further Action (NFA) outcome, her deep expertise in this area proved invaluable and gave me tremendous confidence throughout the process. Furthermore, Anne-Marie’s genuine ability to listen attentively, show real empathy and understanding, and explain complex matters in a clear, friendly, and approachable way made me feel genuinely supported, comfortable, and well-informed at every step. Even when away from the office or over the Christmas holidays, Anne-Marie was always quick to respond to my messages and calls. My case ended in No Further Action (NFA) without the need for CPS involvement, much quicker than expected due to the involvement of Olliers Solicitors. Many thanks to Olliers Solicitors and Anne-Marie.

Quality, professional service throughout

Having had need for a criminal defence solicitor, I am glad I opted for Olliers Solicitors. All of the staff who took my initial enquiry were attentive and prompt in finding the right person to help me. Nicola and her team were able to advise me clearly and fought my corner well in the case. Thanks to Nicola and her colleagues' persistence and knowledge, I was able to secure the result that was fair for my case. I couldn't thank them any more for their service, and genuinely appreciate everything that they did for me.

I can’t thank enough to Laura and her team (Adam) . After having a stressful 1.5 years finally CPS dropped the case on the first day of trial due to strong defence / cross examination by Adam. I will be forever grateful to both of them. They just removed a burden from my life 😊😊

I cannot recommend Olliers highly enough. I recently found myself in a situation which could have, potentially, damaged my career if not dealt with professionally. I contacted this firm for help and advice. They instantly directed me to the right person and I was allocated a solicitor immediately. He was extremely sympathetic to my case and thoroughly professional. He presented an excellent defence, the case against me was dealt with out of the criminal justice system and resolved in a way that was acceptable to both parties. They really are an excellent team. I definitely made the right choice in choosing Olliers.

Thank you for your 5 star review. I'm delighted we could help and and you would recommend Olliers. Good luck for the future. I will pass on your comments on to the rest of the team

I had an excellent experience with Olliers Solicitors throughout my DBS case. George Odysseos was professional, supportive, and always clear in explaining the process and my options. He handled my case carefully and kept me updated throughout, which really helped reduce the stress of the situation. Thanks to their hard work and guidance, I received a positive outcome from DBS. I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism shown by the team and would highly recommend Olliers Solicitors to anyone needing legal support with DBS or safeguarding matters.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, Kumar, I'll be sure to pass your review on to George. Best regards, Olliers Solicitors

I can’t thank Maria Koukou and the team at Olliers enough for their support during what was a very stressful and difficult time for me. From the outset, I felt reassured that my case was being handled with care, professionalism, and real attention to detail. Maria kept me fully informed throughout and explained everything clearly, which really helped reduce the uncertainty I was feeling. Her work and communication made a huge difference, and I always felt like I was in safe hands. Importantly, the pre‑charge engagement and the proactive work carried out by Maria ensured that the police took no further action. This outcome was a huge relief and is entirely down to their expertise and commitment. I’m incredibly grateful for the way everything was handled from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maria Koukou and the team at Olliers to anyone who needs legal support.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback and I'll be sure to pass your review on to Maria and the rest of the team. Best regards, Olliers Solicitors

DBS MATTERS

Unprofessional, delayed work, 6 weeks or more get first draft. Was told to pay in full to release first draft, 1 week before and payment made Monday morning and draft sent Monday evening. Reluctant to add changes, revision till 30 minutes before deadline , document bundle not sent before. After submission documents not disclosed and reminder email met with automated annual leave response and office could not help.

Strongly recommend you use this firm for DBS cases. I cannot recommend George Odysseos enough. He did my paragraph s18A barred list appeal and got a successful outcome. He was extremely helpful, explained the process well, got back to me quickly and was always reassuring. Considering he is a paralegal, his professional skills are impressive and I know he will make an excellent solicitor. I can now move on with my life! Thank you George and Olliers!
