David Scully

Tagged solicitor David Scully

Review for David Scully We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and representation our son received from David during his recent court case. From our very first consultation, it was clear that we were in capable hands. One of the standout qualities of David was his excellent communication. He kept us informed at every step of the process, ensuring that we understood the complexities of the case and felt confident in the decisions being made. He was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and his responsiveness provided us with much-needed reassurance during a challenging time. In addition to his communication skills, David demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and expertise in the legal matters at hand. His thorough understanding of the law and strategic approach to our son's case were evident, and it was clear that he had our best interests at heart. He was not only well-prepared but also adept at anticipating potential challenges, which helped us navigate the proceedings with greater ease. Furthermore, David's professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He treated our son with respect and kindness, making him feel supported and valued. This personal touch made a significant difference, especially for a young person facing the pressures of a court case. We cannot thank David enough for his exceptional service. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation. His commitment to his clients and expertise in the field truly set him apart. Thank you, David, for representing our son and achieving such a positive outcome!

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

Today I was represented by Jen, we firstly met for 9:30 and my hearing was at 10. The meeting consisted of Jen running myself and my Mum through everything. This meant before I went into my hearing I was extremely calm, unlike before when I wasn’t represented. During the hearing Jen was extremely thorough with the facts she put forward to the bench, even when the bench were in discussion Jen came over to me whilst I was waiting for a decision to say “it’s okay they are going with the best possible outcome, it’s going well.” This again made me feel calm and most definitely reassured me just as you want to be when you go through something like this. Jen was seriously outstanding from start to finish and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I could tell Jen was genuinely happy for me when we left the court room as she gave me hug and all of my family, this showed me that she genuinely cared and wanted to get the best possible result she could for me. I’m so pleased with the result and thank you to Jen, outstanding work. Thanks again, AP.

Hannah Costley

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley

When I was recently charge by Manchester City Council I was shocked and distressed, as I have never committed a crime and this goes against my character. Hannah was supportive and I found her manner was professional, but also reassuring, which helped with my anxiety. At all times, she kept me updated on the procedures I was facing and helped me navigate the system that was alien to me. Thank you.

Georgina has been excellent in the support and help that she has given us. It has been a long and complicated process for us and she has be there all the way through. From the initial representation, she was professional, supportive, friendly, approachable, kind and compassionate. Always going the extra mile. She has chased things up many times on our behalf, under very difficult situations. She has kept us fully informed and always done what she said she would. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending her.

Stephen Coupe

Tagged solicitor Stephen Coupe

Stephen was great from start to finish. He was very efficient with time and was clear on what I needed to gather. He then represented me extremely well in court, with the magistrate even commenting on how thoroughly and clearly the case had been presented. I could not recommend Stephen enough. It is also worth saying that he was recommended to me by 2 different barristers chambers

Hannah McCreadieMaya Lal

Tagged solicitors Hannah McCreadie and Maya Lal

Maya was extremely professional, approachable, and easy to deal with throughout the whole process. I was dealing with a misunderstanding involving the police, as well as matters relating to my firearms licensing, and Maya provided clear, calm, and reassuring advice from start to finish. She represented me during the police interview, helped ensure the situation was properly understood, and ultimately helped achieve the correct outcome. Her communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt that I understood where I stood and what the next steps were. I was very happy with the service Maya provided and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone needing professional legal representation or advice.
