Cant thank enough for supporting all the way

Sharad Buddhdev is an outstanding solicitor who provided exceptional support during a very dark and challenging time. POCA proceedings are complex and terrifying, but Sharad was always there to offer clear advice and reassurance. He took the time to explain every stage of the legal process in plain language, keeping me informed and grounded throughout. He is not only a brilliant legal mind but also a genuinely kind and empathetic person who truly cares about his clients' well-being. I am immensely grateful for his dedication and hard work. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a top-tier criminal defence and POCA specialist.

Outstanding legal representation at a very difficult time.

In a difficult legal case where the outcome was far from certain, I chose to move my representation to Cartwright King after losing confidence in my previous advocates. The support I received from Leanne Brown at Cartwright King was so much better than I expected. Leanne pulled out all the stops, kept me up to date, and jumped on any case concerns I raised with vigour. Thanks to Leanne and the excellent Barrister chosen to represent me the case was knocked out of the park, so-to-speak. A big win!

I can't recommend Cartwright King Solicitors highly enough. They have helped me with my case not just once, but twice, and both times the service was outstanding. A special thank you to Sharad Buddhdev for all of his support and professionalism throughout. He was always helpful, took the time to explain everything clearly, and kept me updated every step of the way. I always knew what was happening with my case, which gave me great peace of mind. The whole team at Cartwright King were approachable, understanding, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thank you again to Sharad Buddhdev and everyone at Cartwright King for all your hard work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who needs a reliable and professional solicitor.

Outstanding

I instructed Cartwright King in relation to a compliance issue and Wesley was dealing with the matter. At all times he kept me informed and due to vast experience on knowledge made the journey easy. Wesley got the decision I needed and is worth instructing an experienced solicitor. I would highly recommend Welsey and I have already referred to other friends and they reiterated the above. Once again thank you so much for your help and support.

Review regarding Cartwright King Solicitors

I have found Chet Desai to be a solicitor who is professional in his approach to family law matters where I have instructed him. Chet is thorough in his work and provides appropriate advice in line with the law. I have instructed Chet on many occasions and will continue to.

With Judy Johnson’s help, we achieved an outcome that had seemed almost impossible. Judy was highly recommended to us as a children’s lawyer. She supported us in caring for a deeply troubled teenager. When we found ourselves in conflict with a local authority and social workers whom we believed had failed both the young person and us. Those concerns ultimately came before the family courts. In our experience, good hearted carers of foster placements, special guardian arrangements, and similar settings can be unfairly discredited when local authorities seek to avoid responsibility and shift blame. Judy Johnson is an outstanding lawyer who stood by us throughout six gruelling months in which we felt relentlessly vilified. We trusted her judgment at every stage, even as two elderly people facing circumstances we could scarcely have imagined. Judy guided us through every accusation and challenge, including what we regarded as malicious falsehoods intended to damage our reputation. We thought we had already experienced everything life could throw at us, but we were wrong. With Judy’s support, we withstood the local authorities attempt to avoid responsibility for what we believe was gross neglect. We wish more lawyers like Judy were available to help grandparents like us, who feel failed by the judicial system and confronted by local authorities whose conduct, in our experience, knows no bounds. In our experience, departments close ranks—-from social workers—-school staff—while serious complaints about dishonesty and misconduct go unaddressed. Judy Johnson, we can never thank you enough for helping us escape the appalling abuse we endured and for securing yesterday’s decisive victory.

Highly recommend Wesley Thompson at Cartwright King. Wes provides practical, no-nonsense advice that you can put to use straight away. Navigating legal and regulatory issues can be incredibly stressful, but he makes time for his clients and handles everything with absolute professionalism. He is responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely invested in finding a positive resolution.
