Excellent, Professional and Compassionate Legal Support

I am extremely grateful to Maria Anthony and Richard Nelson LLP for the support and professionalism they demonstrated throughout my DBS barring case. Maria handled my case with patience, dedication and care during an extremely anxious and difficult period for me and my family. She took the time to listen to my concerns, consider my explanations and carefully review the information and evidence I provided. I particularly appreciated her willingness to consider my suggestions and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the representations accurately reflected my position. Throughout the process, Maria was professional, approachable and understanding. Her guidance and attention to detail gave me reassurance during a very stressful time. I was very relieved when the DBS decided not to include my name on either the Children's Barred List or the Adults' Barred List. I am grateful for the work Maria put into preparing my representations and for the support she provided throughout the process. I would highly recommend Maria Anthony and Richard Nelson LLP to anyone seeking professional and compassionate legal support. Thank you, Maria, for your patience, dedication and hard work. I genuinely appreciate everything you have done for me.

Professional, Compassionate, and Successful – My Minded to Bar Case

I can’t thank my solicitor Mark Howell enough for representing me in my Minded to Bar case. He was professional, compassionate and incredibly thorough. He explained what was expected of me, the processes and every stage clearly, kept me informed, and made a stressful process much easier to handle. Mark did not make me any promises that I would have a positive outcome but he assured me that he would do everything he can to fully represent me well. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I achieved the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is facing similar regulatory matter and needing expert representation.

4-5 year long DBS claim

Overall, I have had a good experience with Latoya, she is a nice person. The only reason why I didn't give five stars was because she didn't have much faith at the beginning and if it wasn't for my determination to seek another opinion I probably wouldn't of got this far.

When you are being prosecuted you need to hire someone who knows the law well enough to represent you so that you don't get hit even harder that you deserve. It happens all the time, the (throwing the book at you method). The book hurts. The police and CPS like to escalate charges. If you don't have a representative who knows what might happen. I had a solicitor from another firm before, same case. His representation was discontinued and I hired a lady from Richard Nelson LLP. She made sure the law remained honest, I was given a consequence that matched my offence not a hugely escalated sentence that would have been unfair. She knows things like what sentencing guidelines the court are empowered with and made a point to the court that they accepted which otherwise would have left me in a position where I would no doubt have been prosecuted again in future. Eve Paterson skillfully negotiated the safe zone between there should be a consequence and escalated charges to make it sound worse than it was. In my very humble opinion,if you are going into a courtroom without her good luck. But if I had a choice I would use Richard Nelson. Eve if possible.

Excellent employment solicitor, twice over

Jayne Harrison has acted for me twice now & I wouldn’t go anywhere else for employment law. She responds quickly, goes through the paperwork line by line, & explains everything in plain & simple English (including the parts I didn’t want to hear). Every call was followed by clear written notes & her correspondence with the other side was precise, well reasoned & effective. Fast, practical & straight talking, which is exactly what you need when there’s a deadline. Highly recommended.

Spouse Visa

I honestly cannot thank Michelle Lee enough for all the help, support and guidance she has given me throughout my husband’s spouse visa application. From the very beginning, she has been so helpful, patient and reassuring, especially during the stressful moments when things felt overwhelming and there were difficulties getting certain documents together. The whole process was quite stressful at times, but Michelle was always there to guide me through everything and explain what was needed. She took the time to understand our circumstances and made me feel supported throughout the process. I especially appreciated her patience and the care she put into our application, as this was something that meant so much to both me and my husband. Thankfully, my husband’s spouse visa has now been granted, and I genuinely could not be happier. I am so grateful to Michelle for helping us through this journey and for the part she played in bringing us one step closer to being together. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone needing help with an immigration or spouse visa application. Thank you again, Michelle, for everything you have done for us. It truly means more than you know! ❤️

I approached Sarah-Jane for specialist legal advice regarding a complex professional regulatory matter. From the outset, I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and approachable. She took the time to review the circumstances of my case carefully and provided clear, realistic and impartial advice regarding my available options. What I particularly appreciated was her honesty. Rather than simply telling me what I wanted to hear, she explained the strengths and weaknesses of my position and helped me understand the issues from a regulatory perspective. Her advice was not only legally informative but also practical and constructive. She helped me identify the steps I could take moving forward and provided valuable guidance on demonstrating reflection, professional insight and meaningful remediation. Throughout the process, I felt that my concerns were listened to and that the advice I received was thoughtful, thorough and clearly explained. What stood out most was that Sarah-Jane helped me move from feeling overwhelmed by the situation to having a clear understanding of my options and a practical plan for moving forward. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Richard Nelson LLP were very easy to contact, firstly through a very straightforward web form. I then got a very rapid reply linking me with Lawyer Patrick Macken who offering very prompt review of the documentation. Once in his possession, a phone discussion outlined his review of the document and he advised on any clauses I might want to consider in more detail. A change was subsequently introduced and Patrick checked this and all was signed off in good time. Patrick was very clear and professional, providing me with clarity regarding the documents wording, and answering my subsequent email queries very quickly. I am very happy with the service Patrick provided and will definitely use Richard Nelson LLP and Patrick again.
