“Paul Dillon was first point of contact with Lawtons. He was very helpful, gave me good advice regarding the procedure that l would have to go through once at Magistrates court. The barrister l was appointed was on his recommendation was also very professional and again gave me good advice. Fortunately my case was dismissed before it got to Crown Court. The advice and help l received from Paul, Patrick and Beth was invaluable. An extremely unpleasant and worrying experience had a very good outcome. Thank you Lawtons Solicitors.”

“I instructed Philip to give guidance and representation on a minor community resolution. We had one face to face meeting whereby he explained the situation fully and advised the best way forward to a quick and satisfactory resolution. A few subsequent phone calls on progress and the matter was resolved. Philip was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process.”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Abbie and Alistair for the exceptional work they did on my case. From the very beginning, they showed unmatched dedication and commitment. Even during times when Abbie was unwell, she still went above and beyond, using her personal time to ensure my case was handled with the utmost care. Their hard work and attention to detail were instrumental in proving my innocence. Alistair, a highly skilled barrister, demonstrated incredible intelligence and poise in protecting my case. His expertise was clear as he navigated the legal process, never intimidated by the prosecutor. His eloquence and ability to communicate effectively in court made a significant impact. What stood out most to me was how prepared they were. Despite the fact that the burden of proof lay with the prosecutor, Abbie and Alistair had all the necessary paperwork in hand, ensuring that they were always a step ahead. Their meticulous approach and foresight meant that I didn’t even need to prove anything myself, they had everything covered. Throughout the entire process, Abbie and Alistair treated me with the utmost respect and compassion. They never treated me like just another case file. Instead, they genuinely reassured me and made me feel like a priority, which is rare, especially in the realm of legal aid. Their service exceeded even that of private firms. I am forever grateful for their handling of my case from start to finish, and all of it was done with impressive speed and efficiency. I truly can’t thank them enough for their support and for achieving the best outcome in such a short time. May bless them, Insha Allah. Thank you, Abbie and Alistair, for everything!”
