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 would highly recommend Olliers Solicitors. They supported and represented me throughout my case, which was a very stressful time for me. A special thank you to Maria Koukou, who represented me at my police interview. She was professional, knowledgeable and very reassuring throughout the whole process. She explained everything clearly, gave me excellent advice and made me feel much more confident going into the interview. I am very pleased with the way my case was handled and extremely relieved that the matter has now been concluded with No Further Action (NFA). Thank you to Maria Koukou and the team at Olliers Solicitors for their excellent support and representation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing criminal defence advice or representation

We found ourselves in a surreal and extremely distressing situation where allegations of fraud had been made and we were arrested. As one of us is a business owner and the other works in finance, the potential impact on our careers and reputations was enormous. We had no experience of the criminal process and were suddenly trying to navigate completely unfamiliar territory. We turned to Olliers, who specialise in a Pre‑Charge Service and we are genuinely thankful for the support Gareth Martin provided throughout the entire process. He was reassuring, clear, and honest in his advice — no sugar‑coating, just the straightforward guidance we desperately needed. He helped us understand what was happening, what to expect, and how to respond at every step, which made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. The outcome was uncertain for months, and at times it felt like years. In the end, we achieved the result we hoped for. This was largely due to Gareth’s communication with the police and the opportunity he helped secure for us to properly explain our side of the situation — something that truly made the difference. We are incredibly appreciative of Gareth’s support throughout this ordeal, and we would absolutely recommend him and the service provided by Olliers.

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

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 😊😊

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback and I'll be sure to pass your kind words onto Laura. 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.

I cannot thank Austin enough for his outstanding support and professionalism. From our very first conversation, he took the time to understand my situation and provided clear, realistic advice. Navigating legal matters can be incredibly stressful, but Austin’s excellent communication and reassuring approach made the entire process seamless. Most importantly, he secured a fantastic, positive outcome for my case. I highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly capable solicitor."

I can't thank Jane Novas-Morell enough; I've never been in a situation like this before, and as someone with trait anxiety, it was an incredibly difficult time. Jane was supportive, friendly and professional, explaining everything in detail with no judgement. I'm so grateful to Jane for making such a stressful time so much easier, I wouldn't have coped without her! Thank you Jane, and everyone at Olliers, can't recommend enough!

Helen has been so much more than just a solicitor, with sage advice and an amazing caring attitude. I could ring her whenever I needed to talk something through and her support has been amazing. I eventually required the services of Laura who was very reassuring throughout and got a good end result. Thank you to you both.

Austin Bretell-Anderson provided council and legal support for a road traffic accident investigation by the Cheshire Police. He was excellent in all aspects of his work, providing excellent advice, guidance and support. He was incredibly attentive and timely with his intervention. The most important aspect was his proactive approach in preparing a well thought through pre-engagement file for the police/CPS team investigating the accident. His supportive and thorough nature ensured a successful outcome. A very professional, friendly and efficient service. Many thanks for everything Austin!
