Andrew Gibson - Criminal Defence

I was extremely impressed with the service I recieved from Carter Osborne, and specifically from Andrew Gibson. Having never found myself before in the confusing and frightening position of being charged with a criminal offence (which I believed was not justified), Andrew took the trouble to explain everything carefully and clearly to me, and was then able to deal with the matter quickly and efficiently resulting in my charges being dropped before I had to appear in court. He made sure that he understood all the details and was able to communicate very effectively with the CPS. He also ensured that my application for costs were submitted. I always felt that I was in very capable hands, and I will always be very grateful for the help he gave me. I would recommend Carter Osborne without reservation.

Great communication and professionalism

The communication with my solicitor, Mr. Andrew Amaning, was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Mr. Andrew Amaning explained everything to me in detail. I never felt unsafe. It was an honour to have Mr. Andrew Amaning as my solicitor because he always went the extra mile for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Andrew Amaning because he is a top solicitor, but also an honest person with emotional intelligence, which is rare in today's world.

Could not ask for more

Looked after my family member who appeared at Court this week. Asked for the duty solicitor and got Paul. He was lovely. Talked us through everything and really put our minds at rest. Outcome was great, better than hoped for. He is a gem. We prayed for help and Paul turned up. He looked after us so well. Cannot thank him enough.

Carter Osborne Ltd

Thank you for your review, Simone. We’re thrilled to hear that Paul provided supportive, clear, and reassuring guidance in court, helping your family member feel at ease and achieving a positive outcome. Kind regards, Carter Osborne Ltd

Couldn't have been luckier with my duty solicitor

I can’t thank Natalie at Carter Osbourne Solicitors enough for the help and support she provided throughout my case. From the very beginning, she was professional, reassuring, and consistently kept me updated at every stage. Her communication was excellent, and she made sure I always understood what was happening and what the next steps were. What stood out the most was her determination in dealing with the police. Natalie continuously chased them for progress and ensured the matter wasn’t allowed to drag on unnecessarily. Without her persistence and commitment, I’ve no doubt the investigation would have taken far longer to resolve. Natalie’s support made an incredibly stressful situation far more manageable, and I’m genuinely grateful for everything she did. I highly recommend her and the team at Carter Osbourne Solicitors.

Carter Osborne Ltd

Thank you for your feedback, Ben. We’re thrilled that Natalie provided professional, reassuring, and proactive support throughout your case, keeping you informed and helping the process move efficiently.

I have been using this company for a very long time who were originally known as carter slater & co. I can’t emphasise enough in how much they have helped me and have always acted in my best interest. The carter brothers retired and osborne were incorporated and it’s even got better thanks to andrew Gibsons new services and new members. I am 45 nearly and if remember well enough I think mr cater acted for me when I was as 16!!! That’s a nearly 30 years and unfortunately I have been always getting in trouble for the wrong reasons and I think they have been instructed at least 30 times minimum. I will let Andy reply back if that’s too low..:-))) on all occasions 10/10. Today was a day where mr Clarke literally walked all over the cps Legals and judge. If you ever get in trouble, don’t look anywhere other than carter osborne Wellingborough. The best criminal defence lawyers iv ever come across!! Neal thanks again and will be popping over with the usual x mas munchies for you guys in the coming days. Andy if you read this make sure Neal, Alistair and team know.

I can not find enough words of gratitude!

Unfortunately I was involved in a regulatory case, that started in 2019 and it lasted for 6 years! 6 long years of Court hearings, many failed attempts to find a decent solicitor who would be able to help me with my case, until I found Mr Dan Svoronos! In a short period of time he managed to get me the Legal Aid, represented me in both Magistrates Court and Crown Court hearings and achieved the impossible: from a penalty of nearly £80k, he reduced it to £3500! Throughout the process he showed genuine compassion, dedication, professionalism and high knowledge of Law! Thank you for changing my life.

from Carter Osborne Ltd

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and generous review. Your acknowledgement of the compassion, dedication and professionalism shown means a great deal. Thank you for trusting us with your case and for your wonderful words.
