Excellent firm!

My brother was wrongfully accused of a terrible crime. Joseph Hill and Co represented him, and they were fantastic; it took around five months to get through the Crown court system. Phaedon from Joseph Hill and Co was there every step of the way, always available on the end of the phone, and delivered fast responses to emails sent; he did a fantastic job of instructing a top barrister to represent my brother in court.

I am so grateful for the absolute professionalism, expertise, empathy and care shown while working with my brother and myself. I cannot recommend Phaedon and his legal team highly enough.

THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND AND TREAT ALL CLIENTS LIKE FAMILY

I must say that I have used this law firm a few times over an 18 year period and they have used a professional service every time and go above and beyond more than any law firm I know. they treat all clients like family and will get you the best outcome every time definitely in my eyes and a lot of people out there they are the best in the business and if it wasn’t for this law firm I would probably been in jail now for something I didn’t do and for a long time so I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart to Joseph , phaedon and the team kind regards Ryan S

Great Level Of service

I've been dealing with the firm for two years due to my case being on going. Throughout the two years the communication and support has Been phenomenal especially with my lawyer Pheodan, I have faced many challenges in this period of time personally and legally but my lawyer has been a champion.

Today my case has finally come to a close and I couldn't be happier with the result! My barrister David wood has been another exceptional person throughout the trial period.

I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Phaedon and Team

I can not recommend Phaedon and his team enough. From my first initial phone call he was extremely professional and attentive with my case. I felt like I was the only person he was dealing with, always making contact with me and updating me even if it was about the smallest of things. A pleasure to deal with and of couse getting the successful outcome that I wanted.

They say you get what you pay for… this was not cheap

When I leave a review, I want to ensure people reading the review learn from my experience. I pad for representation. I had zero. I’m a man of the world and not uneducated hence my need to leave this review.

If you want a firm that chase payment, do not prepare a case despite paying for it and then send raw and unprepared barristers that you pay for that have no idea of law, then this is your firm.

I send this review as a warning to anyone that considers employing this company. Do not make the same mistake I did.

This is not a statement sent with a view to hurting a company. It’s just my real experience.

money driven solicitors

I will not consider using this solicitor again; their primary concern seems to be money. They employ a solicitor advocate named Sean Poulier, whom they tout as a leading lawyer.

Sean Poulier is a disgrace to the profession he claims to represent. He collaborated with the prosecution, sharing personal notes just one day before my trial, leading to last-minute changes in charges. He single-handedly destroyed my POCA case, prompting Keir Monteith KC to express shock when reviewing Poulier's work. Monteith stepped in to fix the mess without charge.

Poulier advised me not to attend court for my final hearing to sign off on a Serious Crime Prevention order. However, he signed off on the wrong document—the draft—instead of the agreed draft we had discussed. This unique error left me without internet access for five years, only to be discovered later. When rectifying his mistake in the high court, Poulier requested £4,000, even though it was his fault.

Ultimately, the change was made at the high court for free, but it took an entire year and countless follow-ups to resolve. If you ever encounter Sean Poulier or are offered his services, I strongly advise against it. It appears to be a profit-driven scheme, benefiting only the solicitor, while you receive subpar and inadequate legal advice.

At no point did Sean Poulier deserve the title of a legal advocate. Descriptions of him as a very good lawyer or highly respected are absurd. He lacked a fundamental understanding of legal arguments and seemed more interested in discussing himself and Joseph Hills Partnership, boasting about his future ownership.

Words cannot adequately convey the frustration of dealing with Sean Poulier. I hope this review serves as a warning to others, as Sean appears to be the star lawyer for Joseph Hill's practice.

Oops, did I say lawyer? I meant legal advocate. A legal advocate should not even be considered for a bail application, let alone a significant criminal case.

EXCELLENT .

First of all if I could give more stars I would .
I was accused of something I didn’t do , I walked into the office of Joseph hill , the chap at the desk was extremely polite ,
I explained my situation and was introduced to Pheadon ( my solicitor) I cannot praise this man enough , it took 9 months to clear my name
I literally live five mins away and would pop In regularly for updates , Pheadon would always have time to speak to me and reassure me the best anyone could ,
If anyone reading this needs a solicitor Pheadon is the man ,
EXCELLENT service , highly recommend

Corperation vs A member of the public

I reached out to this firm to support and advice me during a case from the CPS in relation to a driving offence, they understand that as much as certain cooperations are Institutionalize and unfair in some instants , they fight for the rights of the individual and for that I admire and respect this firm of solicitors highly.

Legal matter

We recently had the pleasure of working with Joseph Hill & Co on a complex legal matter, and I must say they exceeded our expectations in every way. From the beginning, we ft confident in their ability to handle the case with professionalism. They were very communicative and informed us of all the progress and developments, which we appreciated. They were always available to answer any questions from the first phone call to the outcome, and their communication was excellent. They were prompt and thorough in responding to all our questions and concerns. They kept us informed of the updates or progress in my case.
