A big thanks to all involved in my case from start to finish its very much appreciated but a special thanks goes to chole who done all the behind the scenes stuff that nobody sees.
Had an excellent experience with Bobby from McGovern Reid. Bobby got 3 charges I faced dropped to 1 charge and after negotiations he got the wording in the 1 charge reduced dramatically. He is an extremely good lawyer and his approach helped me get an excellent outcome in court, I think even he was shocked with how good it was. He helped put my mind more at ease and genuinely cares about fighting to get you the best outcome possible. Not only that but he got my court date brought forward so I could put this behind me quicker. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges. Thanks again for all your hard work

To Mathew Reid, I am writing this review to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude for the exceptional support and representation I received from Mathew McGovern during my recent serious assault case. Being accused of a crime, especially when acting in self-defence, was a terrifying and deeply difficult experience. From our very first meeting, Mathew not only provided outstanding legal advice but, more importantly, he offered genuine human support. He listened to my account, understood the traumatic circumstances, and immediately believed in my innocence and the fact that this was a total injustice. His unwavering belief in me throughout the entire process—from the preparation stages right up to the trial—made a tremendous difference to my well-being during such a stressful time. He was professional, clear, and utterly dedicated. The outcome at court, a Not Guilty verdict, is the best possible proof of his skill and dedication. I was vindicated, and I am now able to move on with my life, thanks in large part to his tireless efforts. If anyone is looking for a solicitor who is not only legally brilliant but also a strong, compassionate advocate who will fight fiercely for justice, I wholeheartedly recommend Mathew McGovern. Thank you, Mathew, for everything. Sincerely, Hugh Clarke

I contacted Bobby Reid regarding a minor traffic offence, and from start to finish the service was exceptional. The lady I spoke to in the office was friendly and professional, and Bobby himself couldn’t have been more helpful. The matter was handled efficiently, communication was excellent throughout, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. Hopefully I won’t need their services again anytime soon, but if I ever do, I wouldn’t hesitate to return. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is approachable, dependable, and genuinely delivers on what they promise, I can’t recommend Bobby Reid and his team highly enough.

We went to McGovern Reid regarding a road traffic offence we were defended by Bobby Reid who from the outset brought calmness to a worrying situation He had the case deferred for special circumstance he then asked us to provide documentation which we did and one the day gave us sound advise . He presented both himself and our defence in a very professional manner and in the end the case was admonished Very professional law firm who I would recommend to anyone requiring legal advise 10/10 Well done
Great service. Had a case hanging over me for 3 years and it has now been deserted. What a relief. Had Bobby Reid and Frances Taylor working on my case they were both fantastic. Would defo recommend 💯
Avoid this firm. 3 things they said they would do for me and each time they failed to fulfill any of them. You would be better representing yourself
McGovern Reid delivered a first class service. From start to finish would highly recommend Bobby and a big thanks to chloe or all the behind the scene stuff work that goes un noticed.
Helpful and good servce.
Bobby helped me write up a document I needed. Process was quick and easy. Lovely guy too. Thank you!
Frances covered my case and got my charge down from a mandatory ban to points and a fine which led to me keeping my license, I highly recommend McGovern Reid lawyers for their service.
