    Excellent support, glad to have choose Chris Stevenson Solicitors to represent me

    I am so grateful for the outstanding support Hannah provided throughout my case. From our very first conversation, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Hannah took the time to fully understand my situation, explained every step clearly in plain English, and kept me regularly updated with honest, practical advice. Her attention to detail and proactive approach made a real difference, and thanks to her hard work we achieved an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations. She was responsive, reassuring, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported during what could have been a stressful process. I couldn’t recommend Hannah and the team at Chris Stevenson Solicitors more highly – truly excellent service.

    Nick Ward is very knowledgeable, with a calm and professional approach. I could not recommend Nick highly enough as he works hard to get the best result. If we had any questions or concerns, he was very supportive and dealt with them promptly. The case involving my son was very complex and needed reports from a number of professionals that Nick sourced. He also instructed an excellent Barrister.

    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 have used Chris Stevenson solicitors twice now in the last nine months, the first time was to sell my house, and recently the purchase of a new property. On both occasions I was dealt with by a lady called Marzenna, an absolute star and her employers should be proud of her. Every step of the way, she explained things in terms that I could understand, and reassured me, particularly with the most recent purchase which to say the least, was challenging. I won't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone all the interactions I had with all the staff fantastic! Thanks for everything Marzenna, and everyone else. Chris Flynn.

    The service we received from Chris Stevenson Solicitors was amazing. We needed some independant advice at short notice and they went above and beyond to make sure we were given an appointment the same week. When we attended everyone was extremely friendly and professional. The advice we were given was very clear and left us with no questions to ask. We found this solicitors by chance but will definitely be using them again and would not hesitate to recommend them,

      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.
