Law firms ranked by client reviews

Court appearances in England cover when a person is brought before the magistrates’ court or the Crown Court after arrest or charge. A solicitor reviews the case, advises on pleas, prepares and files documents, and represents the client at hearings, including bail applications, adjournments, and the trial itself. They gather evidence, instruct experts, and negotiate with prosecutors on behalf of the client to shape the case and respond to evidence or new decisions from the court.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The outcome can set the course of an individual’s freedom, charging decisions, or potential custodial sentence. The solicitor’s role includes ensuring compliance with time limits, protecting rights of audience, and securing appropriate court actions if the client is to be released on bail or if the matter proceeds to trial.

Ann Ridge

Tagged solicitor Ann Ridge

Being accused of a criminal offence was the last thing I thought would prompt me to use the services of Ann Ridge and Howells Solicitors, however back in 2022 that is exactly what happened. From the very first contact, until the conclusion of my case some years later I can only describe the service offered as high class and professional. Howells have access to excellent and knowledgable barristers who fought my corner in an environment that I was unfamiliar with resulting in the correct verdict. I would not think twice about recommending this company should you find yourself in need of life changing, life saving, advice and a service to defend your rights. Ann Ridge has a unique and honest demeanour, a pleasure to deal with and my thanks go out to everybody in the team.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

Today I was represented by Jen, we firstly met for 9:30 and my hearing was at 10. The meeting consisted of Jen running myself and my Mum through everything. This meant before I went into my hearing I was extremely calm, unlike before when I wasn’t represented. During the hearing Jen was extremely thorough with the facts she put forward to the bench, even when the bench were in discussion Jen came over to me whilst I was waiting for a decision to say “it’s okay they are going with the best possible outcome, it’s going well.” This again made me feel calm and most definitely reassured me just as you want to be when you go through something like this. Jen was seriously outstanding from start to finish and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I could tell Jen was genuinely happy for me when we left the court room as she gave me hug and all of my family, this showed me that she genuinely cared and wanted to get the best possible result she could for me. I’m so pleased with the result and thank you to Jen, outstanding work. Thanks again, AP.

Hannah Costley

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley

When I was recently charge by Manchester City Council I was shocked and distressed, as I have never committed a crime and this goes against my character. Hannah was supportive and I found her manner was professional, but also reassuring, which helped with my anxiety. At all times, she kept me updated on the procedures I was facing and helped me navigate the system that was alien to me. Thank you.

David Scully

Tagged solicitor David Scully

Review for David Scully We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and representation our son received from David during his recent court case. From our very first consultation, it was clear that we were in capable hands. One of the standout qualities of David was his excellent communication. He kept us informed at every step of the process, ensuring that we understood the complexities of the case and felt confident in the decisions being made. He was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and his responsiveness provided us with much-needed reassurance during a challenging time. In addition to his communication skills, David demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and expertise in the legal matters at hand. His thorough understanding of the law and strategic approach to our son's case were evident, and it was clear that he had our best interests at heart. He was not only well-prepared but also adept at anticipating potential challenges, which helped us navigate the proceedings with greater ease. Furthermore, David's professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He treated our son with respect and kindness, making him feel supported and valued. This personal touch made a significant difference, especially for a young person facing the pressures of a court case. We cannot thank David enough for his exceptional service. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation. His commitment to his clients and expertise in the field truly set him apart. Thank you, David, for representing our son and achieving such a positive outcome!
