I cannot fault the service I was given by everyone at this firm. I was totally confident in their abilities and was exposed to just how bad other solicitors were so I had a solid comparison.

Nicola Hunter

Tagged solicitor Nicola Hunter

I thought I knew my own case I side and out. I thought I'd identified every possible thing that I could use to help me defend myself against a fail to provide blood charge. Then comes along Nicola who reviewed all the evidence that I thought I had exhausted all possible fruit from and identifies thing after thing after thing that I did not even think to take any notice of and she takes these things and moulded them in to a.bullet proof defence that genuinely impressed and shocked me equal measures me as to how thr heck I was so far off the mark. Page after page of meticulous time stamped bodycam along with clever and savvy cross examination forming a plan of battle that was genuinely impressive and had me grinning with excitement was all for nothing as Nicola did one better and actually managed to get the entire case dismissed right before trial with an abuse of process argument that the judge was very much onboard with. I am soo grateful to Nicola for saving my driver's licence earlier today..thank you Nicola!

My son and I received high quality information regarding the progress of proceedings across 8 months. Support was offered over 7 days a week without fail. We felt listened to and heard. All avenues were explored to provide a positive conclusion. In the court we felt they went over and above to advocate for us and we are extremely grateful.
