Jamie Simner

Tagged solicitor Jamie Simner

Jamie Simner sets the standard for criminal defence solicitors and gives calm, measured, and accurate advice when you need it most. Having been into my life at my lowest point following arrest, Jamie was initially the reassuring voice on the end of the phone, and a short while later the well dressed and well spoken defence representative who efficiently translated my panicked account into a coherent defence and the right advice for the situation. His knowledge of what would likely be asked in interview paid dividends as I was able to confidently field the questions put to me. Jamie’s organisation is second to none and over the course of a 2 year sustained period, he continued to respond to my queries and worries as though it was his highest priority. I was particularly impressed by Jamie’s ability to summarise high volumes of detailed legal jargon in a concise manner making it easier to digest. As my case progressed I remained confident of my acquittal in part due to Jamie’s expertise and tenacity, as well as his excellent relationships with high calibre barristers. I have no doubt that if I ever have a friend or family member in need of first class legal advice Jamie will be the person I will call.

Kuldeep Clair

Tagged solicitor Kuldeep Clair

Mr Kuldeep S. Clair displayed professionalism and a hands-on approach, when he handled an employment matter and defended my case. From the moment we first spoke over the phone, Kuldeep seemed very polite and showed willingness to listen. I initially felt at ease talking to him about my case - it all felt natural. Mr Kuldeep represented me at my Newton Trial, which lead to a successful outcome with a community order rather than immediate/suspended sentence! My family and I, could not thank him enough with all the help we received from him. He was thorough with paperwork, arrived at the court on time, patient listener, understanding of the situation (whilst keeping things professional) and always making sure I am updated with the necessary information/result (from start to finish). I tend to say a lot of things when trying to explain myself, but Mr Kuldeep remained open to our discussions and without realising; he eventually used my own words/explanations inside the court to defend me. This showed me that he cares a lot about his clients' needs. I honestly and genuinely, could not have had a better lawyer! HIGHLY recommended!

I’m completely satisfied with the services provided, my defences vigilance in the understanding of the law was extremely thorough and their choice of expert witness was,”arguably the best in the land”. Without this expertise and attention to detail i fear i would be seriously lost to arbitrary rule and would have suffered greatly. I cannot hold them in higher esteem and would trust them implicitly in any situation that came before me.
