    Review for Nick Ward

    I can’t recommend Nick highly enough. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout what was a very stressful situation for me. He always took the time to explain things clearly, kept me updated and made me feel like I was in safe hands. His experience really showed, and I always felt that he genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me. I’m extremely grateful for everything Nick did and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who needs a criminal solicitor

    Calm, Professional and Reassuring Representation During Police Interview

    I was represented by Emma Burkinshaw during a police interview under caution. I found her to be calm, professional, clear and reassuring throughout what was a very stressful situation. Before the interview, Emma took time to understand the background, explain the process, and make sure I understood the legal position and the possible implications. She gave practical, balanced advice without being alarmist, and helped me approach the interview in a measured and sensible way. During the process, she was composed and supportive, and I felt that she properly understood both the immediate allegation and the wider context around it. Her advice helped me stay focused, factual and calm. I was very grateful for her representation and would recommend her to anyone needing clear and professional support in a police station setting.

    Nick Ward has represented me for some time now and has been second to none, especially compared to a previous solicitor I have been under. Despite being under only legal aid, they have been more than thorough and non-judgemental throughout my journey of the legal system.

    Chris Stevenson Solicitors

    Thank you for your kind words, Matthew. We’re so pleased to hear Nick has supported you thoroughly and without judgment throughout your journey.

    “I write to express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your highly professional and competent services, provided in both a friendly and accessible manner. You were thorough, fair and transparent in fighting my case, saving my reputation and establishing justice for which I will always be grateful. would like to thank Emma Burkinshaw for her excellent work, professionalism, kindness and understanding, especially on those occasions when I must have asked what could have been construed as pretty 'silly' questions! At a time when things were very stressful and anxious ,I always felt that however busy everyone was, I was always lent a sympathetic ear which was very much appreciated. I hoped for total support from Emma when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Emma burkinshaw and would definitely use her again in the future. Many many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant”

    I engaged the services of Nick Ward as my solicitor to help me with my trial at Doncaster Magistrate's Court. I cannot commend him enough both before and during the trial. He really helped make sense of everything and arranged a transfer of other cases against me from other courts very swiftly. His manner in court was exemplary (like you see on TV!) and painted a really good picture of me to the magistrate. I have no doubt that his professionalism led to a favourable outcome. Thank you very much Nick.

      Thank you guys

      We had a very positive experience with Chris Stevenson Solicitors during the purchase of our first home. Marzenna was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and kept us updated from start to finish. Our purchase had a few delays and some additional enquiries along the way, but she explained everything clearly, responded to our questions, and helped move things forward whenever possible. Towards the final stages, she made sure everything was ready for exchange and completion, including coordinating with the lender and keeping us informed about the funds, insurance and completion date. We really appreciate all of her help and support and would happily recommend Marzenna and Chris Stevenson Solicitors to anyone buying a property. Thank you again for helping us finally get the keys to our new home.

      ★★★★★ I’ve worked with Oliver and his team at Chris Stevenson Solicitors on a sale that definitely threw a few things at us along the way, and they were brilliant. What I liked about Oliver was that he was straight with me. If I asked a question, I got an answer. No sitting on the fence, no loads of legal jargon, he simply told me where we stood and what needed to happen next. There were a few moments where this sale could quite easily have gone sideways, particularly towards the end, but Oliver and the team kept working away and we got it over the line. Being an estate agent, I deal with a lot of solicitors, and you very quickly realise how much difference having a good one involved can make. Would happily work with Oliver and his team again. Proper five-star service.
