Professionals in Criminal Law

My 16 year old son was recently represented for something that ended up with him having to go to court. I can't thank Peter and Marcella enough for the help and support he got in what was a really stressful and scary situation for my son. They talked him through everything, supported him through his court appearance and resulted in him getting the best outcome possible and he can now move on with his life. You never know when you can end up in a situation where you need professional help like this and would not hesitate to recommend this firm.

Great Service

I was represented by Bell Lamb & Joynson in a criminal case. From the start they took care of all the paperwork and talked me clearly through the entire process. I primarily got to deal with the same people with each contact. During the court appearances they kept me fully advised on what was going on, especially on the trial day which helped lead to a not guilty verdict in my favour.
