Excellent

Have never needed a solicitor before Chris was very down to earth and genuine. He gave me the best advice. The only reason I haven't ticked will use again is because I'm hoping I will never be in that situation ever again.

The best advice at the right time

Chis represented me as the duty solicitor when I was arrested for a minor offence. He explained things clearly and was helpful every step of the way in guiding me through the nightmare that being taken into police custody is. He made me feel much more confident about the police interview. Eventually I was released without charge and I am grateful to Chris and Smart Criminal defence for all their assistance. Unlike some solicitors Chris does not talk down to you and is a really friendly and professional solicitor.

Highly recommend

As someone who had never been arrested before, I was incredibly distressed and anxious. I was reassured, made to feel comfortable and was told everything I needed to know about my case, interview and what would happen moving forward.

Great lawyer

Vinod is a fantastic lawyer. He really cares about his clients. Professional at all times. He supports you abd makes you feel like human who made an error in judgement rather than a criminal. Would never use anyone else. The best law firm in my opinion

**Vinood** @ Smart Criminal Defence in Leighton Buzzard

For a short period in my life I had multiple cases running simultaneously. Different firms and whole lot of alternating people.

Vinood at Smart Criminical Defence is a stand out guy for the following reasons:

Takes notes,
Remembers your version of events down to the T and relays it back to you, no amount of training can buy this skill,
Gives great advice and explains everything well,
Comes across as a gentleman and has a certain charisma about that even the opposition listen and show respect.
He knows the law and didn't duck my calls when I needed him.
Thank you.

Thank you Vinood for sailing through with my case. You done me justice and may the Lord increase your excellent qualities.

Top class solicitor

Chris gave incredibly professional advice which I followed and now no further action was taken. Without his advice I don’t think this would have been the case. Hats off to Chris.
