Consummate Professional

I am so pleased and extremely thankful that we made contact with Richard Nelson Solicitors and our personal solicitor Megan Delaney. Megan is very understanding, an extremely good listener and genuinely compassionate, which is exactly what you need when you are going through what can only be described at traumatic circumstances. She does not miss a single thing and mentally and physically records everything that may or may not be relevant later. She is a consummate professional with a special skill and a smile that puts you at your ease. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is in need of the help and support of a first rate solicitor.

Not a fluke

One can appreciate that you don’t ever find yourself in need of help or assistance from solicitors. However in this case, part of me was relieved that I could rely on Richard Nelson LLP. They are fast and professional in their responses, always have time to listen to any concerns, no matter large or small, and clearly have extensive experience which provided me with assurance that the best outcome was possible. Thank you, with all sincerity, thank you.

Professional. friendly and knowledgeable solicitors who listen, understand, and show empathy.

Professional. friendly and knowledgeable solicitors who listen, understand, and show empathy. The Richard Nelson team were wonderful at every touch point. They were more than a solicitor and there in my hour of need. When other firms told me I had no rights and they couldn't do anything, this wonderful team listened, understood, were empathetic and provided a professional service. The support from the team also in turn helped my mental health in what was a stressful and traumatic experience dealing with the police and courts.

Exceptional Service from Latoya Atkinson

I contacted Richard Nelson as I urgently needed some expert legal advice about a distressing and sensitive matter. The service I received throughout my case from Latoya Atkinson was outstanding. Latoya dealt with my case with sensitivity without losing at any point her forensic focus on the arising matters. She was proactive in letting me know the progress of the case (there was no need for me to nudge or chase for an update at any point). When needed, she sent detailed legal advice that was both comprehensive and clear. Latoya was approachable and exceptionally responsive to emails. I believe that the success of my case is due to her skill, care and professionalism. I recommend Latoya Atkinson wholeheartedly and without any reservation whatsoever.

When you are being prosecuted you need to hire someone who knows the law well enough to represent you so that you don't get hit even harder that you deserve. It happens all the time, the (throwing the book at you method). The book hurts. The police and CPS like to escalate charges. If you don't have a representative who knows what might happen. I had a solicitor from another firm before, same case. His representation was discontinued and I hired a lady from Richard Nelson LLP. She made sure the law remained honest, I was given a consequence that matched my offence not a hugely escalated sentence that would have been unfair. She knows things like what sentencing guidelines the court are empowered with and made a point to the court that they accepted which otherwise would have left me in a position where I would no doubt have been prosecuted again in future. Eve Paterson skillfully negotiated the safe zone between there should be a consequence and escalated charges to make it sound worse than it was. In my very humble opinion,if you are going into a courtroom without her good luck. But if I had a choice I would use Richard Nelson. Eve if possible.

Clear, honest, and genuinely reassuring advice

I contacted Michelle for advice on a fairly complex immigration matter, and I couldn’t have asked for better guidance. She took the time to properly understand my full situation and gave me a thorough, clearly written advice letter that gave me exactly the clarity I needed to move forward with confidence. She was also generous with follow up questions afterwards, always responding thoughtfully and without hesitation. I genuinely felt like she cared about getting the right outcome for me, not just providing a generic answer. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone navigating any immigration situation. Her knowledge and attention to detail made a real difference.

I had an excellent experience with Nelson Richard Solicitors. They provided outstanding support and guidance throughout my GPhC exam appeal. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were truly impressive. They carefully guided and advised me throughout the entire process and managed to complete my appeal within just five days, ensuring that all the necessary forms were accurately prepared and submitted before the deadline. My appeal was successful and my attempt was nullified.

I cannot recommend Marjorie Creek and Richard Nelson LLP highly enough. Marjorie supported me through an incredibly difficult and prolonged period, and I will always be deeply grateful that I had her in my corner. Her knowledge, experience and professional judgement were invaluable, but what made such a difference was the genuine compassion, kindness and reassurance she showed throughout. During a situation that was often extremely challenging, knowing that I could turn to Marjorie for clear advice, support and guidance gave me enormous reassurance. She was always approachable, responsive and there when I needed her, acting promptly and professionally while never losing the human touch. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. It is difficult to put into words just how much her support meant during that time. Marjorie is an exceptional professional and a genuinely compassionate person, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive legal representation.

As a lawyer myself it was interesting for me to see things from the other side. I did not expect to be in a position to need the advice I required but was so relieved to find Steve Roberts - an extremely competent, calm and personable solicitor who put me at my ease within minutes of speaking to him. I am so glad I instructed someone else instead of dealing with the case myself- his written response was extremely succinct and well put. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
