Tagged solicitor Samuel James Brewster

The empathy and respect Stacey showed me while in custody can not be quantified..I felt really comfortable opening up to her, she listened to me and supported me all through such a challenging time, advocated case step down to checkpoint rather than going to the courts.

Philip was fantastic at handling my divorce proceedings. It’s not an easy time, and everyone’s situation is unique. However, i found him and his secretary Pauline to be very professional, informative and efficient. Thank you both.

Andrew Morris

Tagged solicitor Andrew Morris

We are utterly thrilled with the outcome of this case and want to thank you all on helping to successfully bring this case to a close. Andrew was absolutely brilliant - our heartiest thanks for his invaluable integrity, commitment, support and hard work. When K walked out, after a huge hug from me, two members of the jury came up to him, congratulated him, wished him well for the future and made a point of saying that they were all immediately and unanimously in agreement on the Not Guilty verdict. I asked if they were mothers and both were mothers of five! Nevertheless, we feel that there should be a further case against the police for the maltreatment, unnecessary harassment and humiliation, assault, loss of earnings and opportunities caused by this case. This list is not necessarily exhaustive...

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
