Maria was engaging, responsive and empathetic in our conversations and I felt extremely well supported and in capable hands throughout. Her work was exemplary, highly professional and effective in what we aimed to achieve. Thank you for your hard work.

Couldn't recommend more!!!

Jacqui and her team, shoutout to Melissa, were both communicative, professional and kind from start to finish. Although I'm sure quite an easy case, they made sure I was informed from the start and kept me updated throughout the process- chasing the investigation, till they were able to confirm to me that it had been closed with no further action. In the nicest way possible, hope I never have to solicit their services again, but would recommend anyone needing a solicitor to go to Jacqui.

Outstanding Support and Life-Changing Outcome

I honestly can’t thank Richard Nelson Solicitors, and especially Maria, enough for everything they did for me. Maria was amazing from the start. She was so understanding and supportive, and always took the time to explain things properly so I knew exactly what was going on. It was a really stressful situation for me, but she made me feel reassured the whole way through. Thanks to Maria’s hard work and dedication I received a positive outcome, which means the world to me and my family. I would highly recommend Maria and Richard Nelson Solicitors to anyone who needs a solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients.

DBS appeal

Latoya Atkinson dealt with my case professionally and methodically from the first time I spoke with her and every communication after. For the first time dealing with my case, I felt both fully informed and fully involved in resolving its issues. I cannot speak highly enough of her and thanks to her meticulousness and diligence my case was both successfully and favourably resolved.

Exceptional Legal Guidance from Maria Anthony

Working with Maria Anthony has been a transformative experience for me. I came to Richard Nelson LLP feeling overwhelmed, but Maria’s guidance completely turned things around. She handled my case with such sincerity and professional excellence that it has genuinely changed the trajectory of my life.

My emails were usually responded to quickly. Solicitors felt very non-judgmental. Chased up the police on a regular basis for answers. The only thing I would say is that there were a fair few spelling mistakes on formal documents and in some emails. Apologies if that’s a bit nit-picky but it takes away some of the professionalism.

If you ever find yourself in the terrifying position of needing a defence solicitor, I would highly recommend Richard Etherington. He stood out from the rest from the very first phone call. He advised us that this situation would not be solved quickly but assured us that he would put 100% commitment. I did not hesitate to instruct him to handle our situation. (This turned out to be the correct decision.) Every step of our scary journey going through hell after an allegation was made, Richard handled each stage so professionally, from compiling a very comprehensive, detailed defence statement, to a extremely challenging but successful virtual interview (due to covid restrictions) His extensive knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. He even answered our phone call on a Sunday when we rang him in distress from the police station. Richard Etherington reassured us when we were at a particularly low point, but never gave us false hope, he was always honest with his advice, and kept us informed all the way along our journey. After what felt like an eternity, we eventually got the result of NFA. We truly believe that we would not have reached this result without Richard Etherington's professional knowledge and skills. We cannot thank him and his team enough.

Employment

The support and professional advice given me by Victoria Rees and Richard Etherington has been enormously helpful. Their communications have been clear, detailed and containing of my anxieties in relation to a difficult professional situation. Their assistance over several months has been in the form of emails, phone-calls and liaison with the police on my behalf. They were patient with my lack of knowledge of legal processes and systems and took time to clarify that I understood what might happen, including the options available to me. They were able to contain many of my anxieties and I felt very well supported. Overall they have provided an excellent service, for which I am most grateful.

I had a great experience with Patrick. He was able to explain and break down everything in a way that was easy to understand. Patrick makes sure to complete work in good timeframes and has good communication. I would recommend him to anyone looking for support in employment law.

A Delicate Matter

A family member got into difficulties. I didn't have a regular solicitor to hand and was advised not to use local companies anyway so, I started browsing the internet. Where to start? I came across Richard Nelson LLP in Nottingham and sent in a very basic outline of the matter - this was on a Sunday afternoon. First thing Monday morning I received a very kind and understanding response from Lily Nutbrown. I felt immediately that she was a genuine and caring person. She called me a little later and after a 10 minute conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Lily's attention to detail is brilliant. Her responses are always timely and very reassuring. The whole episode was a tense and anxious time for my family but, throughout it, we were able to draw comfort and solace from the support given to us by Lily. When the Court date arrived our anxiety levels peaked but, the Barrister appointed through Lily did a great job and a fair outcome was achieved. I just cannot thank Lily enough for her help.

secured specialist sixth form place and fought hard to amend EHCP

I think Samantha is amazing in what she does she is absolutely brilliant and this is the second time she and Trudie have secured a place for my son in a specialist dyslexic school and now sixth form. Not only is she excellent at her job she has saved my son's educational future. I would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Marjorie Creek and Richard Nelson LLP highly enough. Marjorie supported me through an incredibly difficult and prolonged period, and I will always be deeply grateful that I had her in my corner. Her knowledge, experience and professional judgement were invaluable, but what made such a difference was the genuine compassion, kindness and reassurance she showed throughout. During a situation that was often extremely challenging, knowing that I could turn to Marjorie for clear advice, support and guidance gave me enormous reassurance. She was always approachable, responsive and there when I needed her, acting promptly and professionally while never losing the human touch. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. It is difficult to put into words just how much her support meant during that time. Marjorie is an exceptional professional and a genuinely compassionate person, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive legal representation.

As a lawyer myself it was interesting for me to see things from the other side. I did not expect to be in a position to need the advice I required but was so relieved to find Steve Roberts - an extremely competent, calm and personable solicitor who put me at my ease within minutes of speaking to him. I am so glad I instructed someone else instead of dealing with the case myself- his written response was extremely succinct and well put. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I worked with Rita for over nine years on my spouse visa application. Throughout the entire process, she was exceptionally professional, understanding, and consistently well‑organised. Her dedication and expertise made a huge difference, and thanks to her fantastic work, my visa has finally been granted. I would highly recommend Rita’s services.
