Highly recommended:

I was fortunate enough to have help and advice on a family matter from J D Spicer, Kilburn, who I would highly recommend. Extremely helpful and supportive, they assisted me in the right direction to resolve my matter in a timely and personable way.

Top Quality Law Firm - Especially Mr Sanjay Cholera & Ms Tammy Sher

I chose JD Spicer Zeb because of the genuine good reviews and they didnt let me down from start till end of my case. When looking for solicitors it can be concerning as many clearly have fake reviews, but this companys numbers and stats do not lie. The receptionist Claudette was always polite, welcoming and introduced me to the process well!

*Key Members:
Mr Sanjay Cholera a very well experienced partner of this firm consulted me through the whole way, and advised me to the best of his ability. Even at times i got complacent about doing certain things to help my case, Sanjay took care of me, made sure I was regularly updated and to complete my tasks in order to benefit my case. I was also reassured about certain concerns, and he was always happy to answer any questions I had. Kept it realistic with possible worst case outcomes, which i think is important to prepare you mentally as in some cases a law firm can only do so much based on factors. The fact he kept it realistic had prepared me much more well than i would have had i went without this firm.

Ms Tammy Sher a very well experienced barrister appointed by Sanjay for my final court date. She had done an amazing job with brief hearing preparation, mitigated with skill to the judge at crown court and also executed certain factors i wanted to mitigate just as i wanted if not better. She was very well spoken and I knew I had a top notch barrister before the hearing started, very reassuring, comforting and also realistic which made a good balance.

I definitely felt well supported through a very stressful time with this firm, and would highly recommend. It also helps to do your own research in cases similar to yours, and how hearings work so you can get a better understanding and prepare yourself. Big thank you to the team here for getting me the result i wanted!

Comprehensive and very thorough legal representation.

This was a devastating experience for the whole family but the legal team were very supportive throughout. Indeed the engagement started with an initial call to the amazing Claudette Bedward, through to Barry and finally, Charlene Sumnar. We could not have asked for more and we will be forever grateful. Thank you.
