Leanne Brown

Tagged solicitor Leanne Brown

I had several cases handle by Leanne at Cartwright king, they were quite serious charges and today I’m finally free. The barristers are amazing especially Gary they definitely know their stuff, are sharp and on point. These guys are the reason I’m not locked up and I’m very grateful for the opportunity they have allowed me to have through their hard work. They’re very easy to deal with and communication is fast and efficient. I will definitely use this firm in the future if anything arises but not criminally I have learnt my lesson! I recommend Cartwright king to anyone who needs good legal advice or representation.

Jonothan Moss

Tagged solicitor Jonothan Moss

Jonothan Moss professionally, patiently and with excellent insight guided me through the legal process when inappropriately arrested. Jonothan’s experience in the law, what to address, when and how is invaluable. I found Jonothan to be a Principal Lawyer that you can trust, who has an exceptional grasp and understanding of legal situations and I would recommend Jonothan as the criminal defense lawyer to turn to when you need legal assistance.
