Having dealt with Ethan and Jack at Hammond Trotter, the process of dealing with a Single Justice Procedure was very straight forward with excellent clear and action oriented communication throughout. Very reassuring about what to expect and how to manage any further actions, the process was smooth and ultimately , very successful! Very grateful to Ethan and team.

Rachel Diorio

Tagged solicitor Rachel Diorio

We cannot thank Rachel enough for the support she has given my son and our family. From the very beginning, Rachel has been absolutely brilliant. My son has ADHD and can find stressful and unfamiliar situations particularly difficult, so having someone like Rachel supporting him made a huge difference. Her response time has been exceptional, and she has been there for us even during the early hours of the morning when we were dealing with a very stressful situation. She provided excellent support and reassurance while helping my son through his police interview, helping to settle his nerves and making sure he understood what was happening. She was patient, understanding and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. Her legal advice throughout has been clear, professional and extremely helpful. She has also provided excellent support and guidance throughout my son’s court case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keeping us informed. This has been an incredibly difficult and worrying experience for our family, but Rachel’s support, professionalism and availability made a huge difference. We have felt listened to, supported and reassured throughout. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, caring, knowledgeable and understanding, particularly when supporting a young person with additional needs such as ADHD.

Stephen Mark Oldham

Tagged solicitor Stephen Mark Oldham

I am so thankful I read previous reviews and chose Stephen Oldham to represent me in court. His professionalism, knowledge and expertise was outstanding, and his attention to detail absolutely incredible. It had been an extremely stressful time for me, and I prepared myself for the very worst. Stephen was honest at at times, calm and confident, he guided me through a very complicated case. advising me where necessary to produce the best defence. He was caring throughout which helped me enormously, updating me at all times. The results were far exceeding my expectations. I cannot thank him enough. Definitely the best solicitor by far. Thank you so much Stephen.
