Outstanding solicitors.
Best solicitors in Sheffield. Every solicitor at Favell Smith & Lawson is excellent. But, in my opinion David Lawson is head and shoulders above the rest. Always there when you need him, and excels in court. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and honest.
His expertise managed to help the magistrates reach a not guilty charge, of which I am very grateful.
A very wise and professional solicitor.
I would highly recommend Favell Smith & Lawson Limited solicitors. They put you first, and have your best interests at heart. Amazing first class service.

An excellent service providing a stable support in a challenging time
I was unfortunate enough to require the services provided my Mark Dooley and his team. Never needed a solicitor before and I hope never to need one again but from Day one Mark provided a stable and supportive service offering good clear logical advice. The team helped me at interview and throughout the entirety of my case. They would get busy and sometimes it was hard to get immediate contact but they always aimed to contact me ASAP.
If it wasn't for Mark Dooley and his team I would have felt isolated and overwhelmed. Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you
The police contacted me today and has informed me that the decision has been made to file my case and come off bail conditions so the police will take no further action.
This is great news and I couldn't have done it without you. I'm sure your role is challenging at times but you have really come through and helped me with this case.
I wish you all the best in your future.

Mark Dooley helped me through a really traumatic and upsetting time. He was professional yet caring, and even though my situation could be seen as less important, he never made me feel that way, quite the opposite. He went the extra mile to make me feel more comfortable and he made sure to get me an outcome that would benefit me. It’s a shame we met under bad circumstances but nevertheless, it was a pleasure to work with him. I would highly recommend Mark.

Phoned these guys for advice, spoke to Tim and he was very helpful indeed. Kind, caring and patience while I explain the situation. While they couldn't help directly, he gave me many useful pieces of advice and contact numbers.
I would have no hesitation in contacting these guys and indeed will use them if I need their services, going forward.
Thank you, Tim and co.
