Amazing Service

After doing my homework in trying to find the right solicitors I'm so glad I choose Richard Nelson LLP. From my first initial contract with my solicitor Lily Nutbrown right through to achieving the right result. Lily was very informative in explaining the whole process, professional and non judgemental always quick to answer any concerns. I would certainly recommend Richard Nelson LLP without any hesitation. Excellent service, thank you Lily.

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.

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.

Latoya has been instrumental that the Police discarded the consideration to add disclosure to my DBS status. She was willing to listen to my needs and after checking my documents assured me that it can be done. She highlighted certain evidence which I did not know was important till then. Most importantly Latoya was open to suggestions and adapted as necessary and firm on certain other points that she said was important. Highly recommended.

DBS MINDED TO BAR

When I recieved a Minded to Bar letter two months ago, my whole life was shattered. I thought the end of everything I cared about was over, following an incident for which the Teaching Regulation Agency saw fit to dismiss with 'No Further Action'. Mark was a source of real strength in terms of his assured and relevent experience in DBS matters, and with his extensive knowledge of how the DBS works, and what it is exactly they're looking for with representations, I was not included in the Children's Barred List. Such an inclusion would have been catastrophic for me, in every way. Mark took my instructions and made full and comprehensive representations on my behalf, and with five weeks to spare of the DBS' eight week deadline. He updated and added to these when new information came to light. I was appreciative of him always being on the end of a phone whenever I had a question. And I had many! I can now rebuild not only my career, but my life, as well as my and my family's future, thanks to Mark's compelling mitigation to the DBS. Recommended without reservation to all those who find themselves in similar circumstances with the DBS. Thank you Mark!

Fabulous Legal Representation

Highly recommended. Patrick Macken took over my disability discrimination case with only around three weeks before our Employment Tribunal- Final Hearing. Given the complexity of the matter, I was initially concerned that there simply wouldn’t be enough time for him to fully understand the case and all of the issues involved. It was a very complex and hard-fought case, with a huge amount of evidence to work through. The respondents side had been represented by a very experienced barrister from the early stages of proceedings, including the preliminary hearing, judicial mediation and also represented at the final hearing. We had been living and breathing the case for over two years, so we knew just how much there was to take in. We initially had email communications, and we first met Patrick properly on the morning of 10 August 2026 - the day of the final hearing Despite having an enormous amount of material and countless potential questions available to him, Patrick identified the important issues and chose the right lines of cross-examination. He delivered his questions confidently, clearly and professionally, and exposed a number of important points that needed to be challenged. His final submission was equally impressive. He presented our case with confidence and clarity, referred to the relevant legal principles and applicable case law, and brought together the key issues in a way that was compelling and easy to follow. Most importantly, both my wife and I felt completely at ease with Patrick. He gave us confidence at a time when we really needed it. My husband even told Patrick during the hearing that his cross-examination was every bit as good as we would have expected from a barrister, and we genuinely meant it. We could not have asked for better representation at such an important stage of the case - all things considered. Thank you, Patrick, for your professionalism, preparation, confidence and, most importantly, for fighting our corner. We won! And we will always be grateful that Patrick and Jayne and all of the staff at Richard Nelson LLP Solicitors who helped us achieve it. Kim & Gary Foster

Outstanding employment law advice from Patrick

I can’t thank Patrick enough for all of his help and support throughout my employment matter. From our first conversation he was easy to talk to, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable; I instantly felt comfortable discussing the situation with him. Throughout the matter, Patrick’s communication has been excellent. He has taken the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understand my legal position and the options available to me. As someone with no prior legal knowledge, this has been really appreciated and has given me the confidence to make informed decisions. He has always responded promptly, kept me updated, and never made me feel like I was asking a silly question. I was made to feel comfortable when asking for clarification, and he has been patient and happy to explain things. Overall, Patrick has gone above and beyond providing support through a very stressful situation, and I have always felt that he genuinely wanted to achieve the best possible outcome for me. His professionalism and expertise have made a difficult experience much easier to navigate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick to anyone needing employment law advice, and if I ever needed legal assistance again in the future, he would be the first person I contacted.

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.
