I was a victim of a crime carried out by a gang. I was forced to protect and defend myself against one of them. They falsely accused me of assault. It was a leghty case but Mr John Stokes was very respectful and patient with me throughout the ordeal. He took time to go through all of my evidence and was able to file a character reference on my behalf to court. After taking the case to trial, I was completely exonerated of all charges. As I told John, if I get in trouble again, I will call on him. Nice work John.

I found Madeleine through the Centre for Women’s Justice website and I’m so grateful that I did. My case was a serious offence and could have had a huge impact on both my daughter and my career. I needed a solicitor who understood domestic abuse and coercive control, and Madeleine’s knowledge and experience immediately stood out. From the beginning, she was supportive, reassuring, and always willing to help, even before my legal aid was approved. I was not charged by the CPS until around 13 months after my arrest, but throughout that time Madeleine still took action on my behalf. She contacted the police about any concerns I had, successfully requested changes to some of my bail conditions. Even while my case was still an active investigation, she successfully arranged for some of my property to be returned to me. Once I was charged, Madeleine helped me with my legal aid application and regularly met with me to prepare my defence. She took the time to listen to me and I felt supported throughout the whole process. The CPS discontinued proceedings against me just before my second plea hearing at Crown Court. I cannot explain the relief I feel, and I’m now able to move forward and rebuild my life with my daughter. I truly believe Madeleine’s expertise and dedication made all the difference to the outcome of my case, and I will always be thankful for her support. I would highly recommend Shaw Graham Kersh LLP to anyone needing a knowledgeable and compassionate defence solicitor.

I cannot recommend Duncan & McConnell Solicitors highly enough. Doug McConnell has represented me across multiple cases since I was 16 years old. Even though I hadn’t required any legal services for 10 years, I called him a month ago regarding a new situation and he remembered me instantly. When my legal aid was unfortunately denied, Doug still stepped up to look after me because of our long history together, and they actually represented me completely for free. Doug represented me at the first hearing. Erin Miller took over to represent me today, and she was absolutely amazing. She called me before court to double-check every detail and completely reassure me. She then handled my pleading with a great outcome and emailed me the result immediately after. To represent me for free when I was stuck shows a level of loyalty and genuine care that is incredibly rare. The whole team are highly professional, well-mannered, and truly dedicated. I would quite literally never use another solicitor.

I came to Dynasty Law very worried and confused but the team made sure to reassure me and was very patient with me. All contact I have had with them has been handled professionally and with great care. They helped me to understand my position and how they can help me with my case.

I honestly don’t have the words to fully express how grateful I am to IBB Crime with HAL Solicitors. From the first phone call, I felt supported, listened to, and treated with real human compassion by Joanne Gibbons and her team. What I was facing was overwhelming, but they never made me feel like just another case. They truly cared. Emily Miles, in particular, was extraordinary. She brought not just sharp legal insight, but kindness, calm, and unwavering commitment. Her guidance kept me grounded through the darkest moments, and in court, she was nothing short of brilliant, measured, prepared, and completely in control. Watching her work gave me confidence when I had very little of my own left. Throughout everything, I knew I was in safe hands. The result spoke volumes about the care, effort, and professionalism that Emily, Joanne, and the entire team put into every step of the process. If you’re ever in need of someone to fight for you, not just legally, but with empathy and integrity, this is who you want standing beside you. I will never forget what they did for me.
