outstanding

I have to write this again because I did want to make sure I had covered Liam Jackson

My experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I say this with complete sincerity and no personal connection to anyone in the firm. The level of service I received was outstanding, characterised by a straightforward, no-nonsense approach that immediately filled me with confidence. Far from encountering the stereotypical "money-grabbing lawyers," I was met with professionalism and genuine care for my situation.
My case was a complicated, multifaceted motoring offence with a potential for a custodial sentence—a daunting prospect, to say the least. I had the pleasure of Liam Jackson who displayed a depth of knowledge and expertise that truly exceeded my expectations. To simply say they knew what he was talking about would be an understatement; his strategic approach on the case was evident in every interaction.
Thanks to the diligent efforts of Liam, Keith,My life has returned to its normal course—whatever "normal" may now mean. Words cannot fully express my gratitude for their support and dedication. I will be forever grateful to this firm for their exceptional service and highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Brilliant

Liam has represented my partner in an assault case and has been brilliant throughout. He’s very professional, honest and tells it to you straight. He’s always on the end of the phone if you need him and keeps in touch with you throughout your case. Hopefully we will never need Liam again but if we did he would be the first person we would call.

I have been dealing with Liam Hassan during an ongoing driving case. He has been extremely honest, knowledgeable and polite during the process and responded to all my emails in a timely manner. Cannot recommend enough.

Driving offence

From the start M&A solicitors were very helpful and clear in the proceedings. Liam Jackson was the duty solicitor, and Adam Henry represented me in court. Both were brilliant from start to finish. Adam made sure the case didn't even get to trial, and got the outcome I was hoping for. Would highly recommend.

Superb & Professional Service

I accumulated 9 points and then got caught again so had a letter for court. I spoke with Damien after he represented a friend on similar in the past with success. He was a breath of fresh air from day one and made me feel comfortable throughout. His advice was perfect and when represented in court we got the right result. Faultless to be honest and I’m normally a critical person. 10/10

My personal experience with them was nothing short of exceptional. Their straightforward, no-nonsense approach immediately instilled confidence, a far cry from the "profit-first" mentality often feared in legal affairs.

Dealing with a complicated motoring offence, I was fortunate to meet Liam Jackson and Keith Whitehouse. Their profound understanding of the law, combined with strategic thinking, was evident throughout our interactions. Their dedication not only resolved my case favorably but also restored my life to its normal pace.

I'm deeply grateful to Liam, Keith, and the entire M&A team for their unwavering support and professionalism. For anyone seeking unparalleled legal representation, M&A Solicitors comes highly recommended. They truly stand out for their commitment and excellence.

Liam Hassan was brilliant in dealing with my points totting up case for my drivers license. I very much needed to keep it and he put together the best plea for the magistrates. He was there for me all the way through. Easy to get hold of and quick to respond to any queries from me. In court, he asked the right questions of me when I was giving evidence making it easy for me to put into words why I was in need of my license. I would highly recommend this firm, hopefully I won't need their expertise again but they would be the first people I would call.

Liam Hassan of M and A solicitors represented my partner in an assault case and was honest and professional throughout. He was always on the end of the phone if we needed him and kept you informed throughout the case. This was a very traumatic time for us as a family and Liam was very kind and reassuring. Hopefully we will never need to use a solicitor again but if we did he would be the first person we would call. Many thanks Liam . .

I had a false harrasment case bombarded on me by a victimiser because I no longer wanted anything to do with that person and she thought it would be a good idea to try and fabricate the truth to get me into trouble with the police.

I needed a solicitor based in York and phoned a few and most were ridiculously priced, one wanted 3 grand to attend a police interview 😂.

Anyhow I was actually a little worried about the case although I knew I was innocent because I had moved on with my life with my current partner I have a security badge so have things to loose and the accuser is the type of person who will play victim for everything . I have ADHD and speak quite fast especially when stressed so when I first contacted Liam from this firm Liam was absolutely fantastic and he unequivocally calmed me down just over the phone. He is the type of solicitor who will tell you how the situation is and not fake like a lot of solicitors I've used in the past and he's someone who I'd trust just of a phone conversation alone

Liam reassured me he'd have a solicitor with me to go to the police interview with after giving me free phone advice. Jess met me at York police station and explained everything to me and was absolutely lovely lady. Jess On behalf of M&a kept me upto date on the case and I was granted NFA. I listened to Jess and followed her advice to my best of my ability.

I really would want to use M&A in future if needed, everybody I've interacted from this ferm are lovely from the reception lady, to Jess and Liam. There's a reason these guys have great reviews, definitely the ferm I'd want defending me. I don't Ive in York but I will come here first if I'm ever in a legal altercation again.

Thank you M&A and I appreciate your existence, fantastic ferm!
