Reeds Solicitors LLP

To whom it may concern at Reeds, After all my years of desperately relying on online restaurant reviews i had it a personal policy only write five star reviews or none at all because of the severe impact they can have those working as small, medium & local freelancers & entrepreneurs. However after my personal experiences with not just Reading branch related lawyer lady Joanna Been but also with whoever was behind the head office related info@reeds.co.uk email follow up to me i just seriously had to make an exception and write an outright 1 star review: believe me if i could i would have genuinely been okay to give i don’t know how many negative stars or at least zero stars. Among countless other things, lawyer lady Joanna took around 3 months since the initial message between us to send over a roughly 2 page pdf police disclosure to legal representative document. She among other things seemed to have told me to move on and that there’s nothing further to add etc… only to then email over a 2 page document she could’ve sent over months ago. I’m not a regular in custody and didn’t really know what was happening because hopefully i’m not a guilty criminal. I was falsely accused of h@r@ssment despite the fact that i want to be religious and believe in the sanctity of marriage the old fashioned way. I don’t know what else i can or can’t smoothly say in a public review as police related situations seem to be confidential so i’ve tried to instead put together feedback and email it in as what somehow became a 69 page pdf attachment incl. Various different print screens of emails that got pit in writing to in case that helps as evidence for your potential internal investigation, feedback and/or disciplinary related things at work. Also I didn’t actually expect this but according to Q&A sessions with AI chatbot, Joanna Benn might have broken multiple parts of the Solicitors Regulators Authority code of conduct. I tried to look up and read the SRA’s code of conduct and unfortunately as far as I’m Joanna Been did consistently seem to routinely potentially break SRA related code of conduct policies. Hope it helps, Raza =) P.S. Sincere sorry to any and all the hopefully genuinely good type of lawyer ladies & men at Reeds who seem to have had their name massively hijacked by both lawyer ldy Joanna Benn and whoever was behind the email efforts to me via the info@reeds.co.uk email address.

I had Reeds Solicitors represent me for my trial, and unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing. I felt I had to repeatedly push them to request forensic expert evidence and often felt as though I had to tell them what needed to be done. Despite obtaining forensic assistance, our forensic expert was not called at trial, which came as a surprise to me. To make matters worse, the barrister representing me changed on the day of the trial, leaving very little time for the new barrister to prepare. Overall, I was extremely dissatisfied with the preparation and representation I received. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Reeds Solicitors for a serious criminal case.

I had the pleasure of having Clare Galo defend me. As a representative of Reeds, Clare worked efficiently, accurately and knowledgeably to achieve a best outcome result. During my time being supported by Clare I underwent multiple difficulties and she responded quickly and professionally, but also kindly. I really do not know what I would have done without her. I would highly recommend Reeds and very specifically, Clare Galo to anyone needing support in a defence case. Thank you!

I cannot thank Tasnim at Reeds Solicitors enough for the incredible support, professionalism, and dedication shown throughout my case over the last 4 years. From start to finish, Tasnim went above and beyond in every possible way. Communication was always excellent — I was kept informed, reassured, and supported at every stage of the process. No matter how stressful things became, Tasnim was always there to answer questions, explain everything clearly, and make sure I never felt alone dealing with it all. What truly stood out was the determination and persistence shown in chasing up all parties involved, including the police and other professionals, ensuring nothing was overlooked and everything was handled properly. The level of commitment, attention to detail, and genuine care shown towards my case was outstanding. After such a long and difficult journey, the case resulted in a full acquittal, and I truly believe I could not have had better representation. Tasnim’s hard work, dedication, and support made all the difference. I would highly recommend Tasnim and Reeds Solicitors to anyone needing legal representation. Absolutely exceptional service from someone who genuinely cares about their clients and fights tirelessly for the best outcome possible.
