Simon Saul Natas

Tagged solicitor Simon Saul Natas

After an incredibly long and difficult 32 months, I was fully acquitted by a unanimous jury verdict. Throughout the entire process, Simon Natas showed outstanding professionalism, dedication, and support. From day one, they handled the case with integrity, care, and attention to detail, always ensuring we felt informed and supported during one of the most stressful periods of our lives. Their leadership, alongside the exceptional barristers they instructed, gave us complete confidence that our case was being fought properly and thoroughly. To receive a unanimous not guilty verdict from all 12 jurors after such a short deliberation speaks volumes, and I will always be grateful for everything they did to help us achieve justice. I cannot recommend Simon Natas highly enough. Thank you again for your hard work, kindness, and unwavering support.

Olivia BriarStefan Simms

Tagged solicitors Olivia Briar and Stefan Simms

My experience overall with BRGP has been amazing from starting enquiry to case closed. Both Olivia and Ellis gave timely responses to all emails and were understanding. My assigned solicitor Stefan Simms was incredibly knowledgeable and very reassuring from my first meeting with him right through to the finished court case. Stefan took onboard everything and explored every option to enable effective mitigation including previous case law for my particular case. Stefan made sure that all options available to me were explained and understood clearly so that when the time came he could represent my case efficiently and effectively to secure the best possible outcome - which he did. Stefan made the entire physical process of seeing a solicitor for the first time and being in court with one very comforting, pleasurable and reassuring even when it comes to mental health. 11/10

Douglas McConnellErin Miller

Tagged solicitors Douglas McConnell and Erin Miller

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.

Tagged solicitor Laura O'Donnell

I cannot thank IBB Crime enough for the support and dedication they showed me during one of the most difficult times of my life. Facing a criminal case was overwhelming, but from the very first meeting, the team put me at ease with their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. They explained every step of the process clearly, kept me informed throughout, and fought tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome in my case. What stood out most was how approachable and understanding they were, I always felt that they truly had my best interests at heart. Thanks to IBB Crime, I was able to get through this situation with confidence and the reassurance that I had the very best people on my side. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of first-class criminal defence representation.
