Crime/ Criminal Defence

Supportive, reassuring and knowledgeable solicitor, would highly recommend

After reaching out to the firm for help at a really scary time, Rachel Mason was brilliant. I needed to keep a handle on my costs in case matters escalated and so my case was handled by Rachel Mason. She was absolutely fantastic - she was always on hand to answer any of my queries along the way, in a clear and calm way that always left me feeling heard and reassured. She prepared brilliant written submissions to the investigating officer and gave such sensible and clear advice on the best strategy to take, which ultimately resulted in the investigation being dropped. She was cool and calm throughout, holding her nerve with waiting out the very long process of the police investigation and so reassuring when I felt scared along the way. She explained everything so well and communicated clearly and quickly in response to my queries, no matter how busy she was. Her knowledge and strategic advice was fantastic. She was also so empathetic, kind and understanding throughout. I would whole-heartedly recommend Rachel to anyone who finds themselves in the position of needing advice from a criminal solicitor.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

An empathetic, proactive and brilliant lawyer who really has your back

I reached out to Rachel at a really scary moment in my life that I never thought would happen. She was immediately so warm, reassuring and supportive and I instantly felt better knowing I had her to fight my corner. She was so empathetic and great at listening. She explained the process really well and advised of various practical ways she could approach the investigating police officer to get them to see the full picture and drop the investigation. She really respected my request for discretion and was so fair with fees, delegating to a colleague (Rachel Mason) to keep costs down where possible. She and her colleague always had time to answer to queries and settle my anxiety along the way, however busy they were. It was worth every penny to pay this team on a private paying basis rather than go to a legal aid firm. Anyone who finds themselves in a position to need a criminal solicitor, I would whole-heartedly recommend Rachel and her team.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

A superb solicitor - I cannot recommend her too highly

Rachel was excellent from the very word go: returning my Friday afternoon initial phone call on Saturday Morning! Not many solicitors do that. And then at each and every stage, her advice was clear, helpful and accurate. It was so good having her on board, especially as she had had some experience of dealing with my organization and knew a little of how their processes work. She was kindness itself when the day of the Police Interview came round and then taking the initiative in contacting the police subsequently to see where we were up to. And then relaying me the excellent news that the enquiry had been concluded, "no further action". Thank you for her very helpful follow-up letter, outlining possible rights of appeal: always good to know the whole picture, so that nothing can come as a complete surprise. Well, nothing after the bombshell of the initial complaint, I cannot praise Rachel enough: she came to me "highly recommended" and I can only pass on that recommendation to anyone else looking for a first-rate Solicitor. I would give her "six stars" if I could!

Support with Will & Grant of Probate

As a family who has recently lost our mum, having the support of Charlotte to guide us was invaluable. Myself and two brothers have never been in this situation before and you just hear people talk about 'probate' we were going into this blind and with lots of mixed messages and confusion. Charlotte explained the process clearly and in lay mans terms, we were given time to ask any questions and her answers gave us so much confidence in her ability to help us at this difficult time. Charlotte informed us of step by step actions and we were able to contact her if and when we needed to. It has been a very smooth process and Charlotte showed us all empathy and compassion, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.

Title: Outstanding Professional Service, Compassion and Support from Beginning to End

I cannot recommend Sylviane highly enough. From the very beginning to the successful conclusion of my case, the service I received from her was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout what was an extremely difficult, emotional and stressful period in my life, Sylviane demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, dedication, compassion and understanding. Her legal knowledge, expertise, patience and meticulous attention to detail were truly outstanding. She consistently went above and beyond, taking the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly and ensure I felt fully informed, reassured and supported throughout the entire process. What made Sylviane particularly exceptional was not only her outstanding legal expertise but also her genuine kindness, empathy and understanding of my personal circumstances, particularly during a time when my health was suffering considerably. I never once felt like just another client. I genuinely felt that Sylviane cared about me as an individual and was completely dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome on my behalf. Her commitment, professionalism and determination gave me confidence and reassurance during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and I will always be grateful for the care, patience and dedication she showed me. From my initial contact right through to the successful conclusion of my case, Sylviane provided an exceptional standard of legal representation and personal support. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me. Her expertise, professionalism and compassion have made such a positive difference, allowing me to finally move forward with my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sylviane to anyone seeking an outstanding solicitor who combines exceptional legal expertise with genuine care, compassion and dedication to her clients. A truly exceptional solicitor who deserves every one of these five stars! Finally, a special thank-you to Hayley for always being so lovely, pleasant and helpful whenever we spoke. Thank you so much, Sylviane, for everything. I will always be sincerely grateful.
