Denise displayed great knowledge and service. My case dropped before standing trial upon taking her advice. I’d highly recommend her as she is attentive and forward thinking.

Madeleine Corr

Tagged solicitor Madeleine Corr

Dear Madeleine, I want to sincerely thank you for all your support throughout this emotionally challenging journey. Your kindness, understanding, and steady guidance have meant more to me than I can express, and I will always be deeply grateful. Thank you so much for calming me down during our initial phone call(thank you so much to the receptionist who promptly connected the line to Madeleine to reassure me) and for being so patient with me. In a time when everything felt overwhelming, your calm presence made a real difference. It’s so easy to feel like just another client in situations like this—but you never made me feel that way. You made me feel seen, heard, and never alone in this journey. Finding myself in trouble for using something I shouldn’t have was incredibly difficult. After being turned down by two solicitors and told I would face criminal charges, I was filled with fear and uncertainty. But your support helped me stay grounded. Thanks to you, I now feel a sense of peace and can genuinely look forward to the next chapter. You’re truly amazing at what you do—changing lives for the better and giving people the chance to do better. I hope that in my own career, I’m able to make even a fraction of the impact you have. Wishing you all the very best in everything ahead. With heartfelt thanks, R

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.
