A Fierce Lawyer

I contacted Chloé after finding myself in a Kafkaesque situation facing false allegations at work. I needed a lawyer with genuine expertise in criminal law within military settings for pre-charge defence and I was fortunate to find her. From the outset, Chloé approached the case with strategic precision and a clear fighting spirit, engaging expert counsel to strengthen our position. Her resolve, legal acumen, relentless pursuit with the police, and deep understanding of military admin have been invaluable. The case has taken several dramatic turns, however, none have caught her off guard and she responds immediately with an appropriate and measured strategy to meet the challenge. Communication has been outstanding. I have had direct access to her throughout with no delays, gatekeeping, or unnecessary formalities. The case is ongoing, however, I have full confidence in her. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Written representation for a caution

Facing a caution for common assault, I was concerned about the potential impact on my future employment, particularly given the required DBS checks in my field. Madeleine expertly guided me through the process and options and then put together a written representation. Her responsiveness and clear communication allowed for a quick turnaround, even under tight deadlines. She managed expectations well. Despite the challenging circumstances, Madeleine successfully persuaded the police to consider a community resolution, a far more favourable outcome that would not be reflected in standard DBS checks. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her services.

Raymond was very effective and calm in difficult circumstances when needed. I felt throughout his advice was balanced and fair. In addition I felt the billing was transparent and reasonable.

Grateful

I cannot express enough how amazing Peter Walsh and Terrie o’Connor have been in this absolute nightmare. They went above and beyond to ensure that my family and I had a clear understanding of what each step was in a situation that was foreign to us at the time. They were accessible whenever I was unsure and uncertain or just needed some reassurance in situations which were previously discussed and explained in depth. They made an experience that was traumatising as pleasant as they possibly could and that speaks volumes on their service. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them enough.

Acting for defendant Samy Grimm

Our family is most grateful to Madeleine and to all those at SGK who assisted with my step son Samy's case, the matter having eventually being dropped by the Police after more than one year. This was the best possible outcome and we cannot thank Madeleine enough for helping to bring about this resolution. She was most understanding and helped us amd Samy throughout what was a most difficult period. In particular always making clear where things stand and preparing us for the worst whilst always remaining positive. We cannot recommend Madeleine more highly.

The best solicitor ever!

I just wanted to express my thanks for all your hard work and dedication in supporting me and my family in securing a not guilty verdict and clearing our name from the clutches of the system. From the beginning, when we first met, we knew you were the best fit for us. Your approach and diligence made it feel right. So again, thank you.

It's over!!!

Thank you Phil for all your support, you were such a good fit after a truly nightmarish first solicitor. Thank you also for your patience in having to deal with me! I know I'm intense, detailed and a bit OTT and that could not have be easy. A side point I also studied law at university and everyone in my family assumed I'd go into practice so had an additional perspective on things - It's actually put my antennas up again re possibly pursuing law again...!
