Gareth Needs and his team were very helpful and clear in all the advise given. They were as much concerned about my personal welfare as much as the criminal case I was accused of. Hopefully I wont need his help again but would recommend him to anyone else who found themselves in the same situation I was in.

Amanda SheppardKatelyn Mcloughlin

Tagged solicitors Amanda Sheppard and Katelyn Mcloughlin

I was lucky enough to have been assigned Amanda as my duty solicitor after being arrested in December, accused of an offense that could have put me in prison for 6 months. Before my police interview she calmed my nerves and talked me through exactly what they would ask and how to tackle their questions - instantly I knew she was on my side. In the interview she wasn't afraid to correct the interviewing officer, ensuring the record was kept straight. I was charged with the offence and given a court date. I rang Amanda straight away to tell her and the first thing she said was 'we are going to fight this' - and that she did. In meetings after being charged, she informed me of all the possible outcomes whilst staying incredibly positive that the case wouldn't stand up in court. I plead not guilty and elected the Crown Court as advised, at which point I was appointed Barrister Oliver Saddington to represent me, who also assured me the case would not go anywhere - he continued the fight and eventually got the CPS to admit they could not persue the case against me, and I was found not guilty. A massive thank you to Amanda and Katelyn for their support, expert advice, and all the hard work they put in to my case whilst keeping me aware of exactly what was happening at all times, responding quickly at any time of day - a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders and while I hope I won't have to use their services again, I know exactly who I'm going to if anything does happen to me or anyone I know. Thank you again, Joe

John Ruane

Tagged solicitor John Ruane

Without going into too much detail, I was fighting cases on two fronts in two different locations. One being criminal: driving whilst disqualified and without insurance due to the disqualification and two: a totting up ban. Before choosing Sufficient representation for the cases above, I did extensive research on firms with many consultations. After reading the reviews for JHR I wasn’t in any doubt, that their services were correct for me. Straight away John who was clear and concise from the start and explained costs which never changed or differed unlike other firms. This is a honest review so I did initially think JHR were more expensive than others but worth every penny in my view down to the services provided. Being a more independent practice John and his team were always contactable and navigated me through processes. This wasn’t just guidance, I actually felt I learned a lot about the justice system and law. John worked tirelessly in my case even putting time and effort in on weekends and through his own paternity leave. I never felt in the dark or unable to contact him. He’s not just extremely good at his profession but builds a quality professional rapport with his clients. I feel if I would have went with a larger law firm I wouldn’t have had half the time given to me that JHR did. For cases John can’t attend himself the people he in trusts with your case are just as capable and prepared, a massive thanks to Alex who represented me at court. Fantastic from start to finish. This was something I was worried about before my trail after building a rapport with John but Alex was well informed and knew everything about my case in great detail. In the end I got cleared of all criminal charges and won an exceptional hardship case against my totting up ban. Yes, the best outcome I could of gotten but even if it was the worst I wouldn’t of chose to be represented by anyone else. I would use JHR again and again (hopefully that won’t happen) and recommend to everyone don’t be fooled by larger firms promises.

Waqqas Ashraf

Tagged solicitor Waqqas Ashraf

I hired Wasqas from WA Legal to work on my criminal case and I cannot recommend him enough. From our very first consultation, Wasqas was transparent, highly responsive and took the time to explain every step of a complex legal process in plain English. What stood out was his dedication and calm demeanour during a very stressful time for me. He was quick to answer my questions and kept me fully informed of any updates. If you need a skilled and trustworthy lawyer, who genuinely cares about their clients, then look no further. I would highly recommend this firm.
