“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Richard Nelson LLP. I came to them while i was under a desperate situation and had no knowledge of the legal procedures. From the 1st email enquiry to the trial, Jacqui Callan's team where nothing but supportive, and very professional. I had consistent and updates and always great communication from the team. Mr Gibbs made time to answer any question I and my family had, I felt Megan was so approachable and we could tell we were in great hands. I always felt included in meetings and felt confident in the representation that was given to me. The team saved me from the worst experience of my life after being falsely and maliciously accused of a crime. The team worked hard during the criminal trial. I also experience working with Victoria regarding my professional body. Victoria was very quick and efficient in her responses. She was always there to explain procedures, reassure me and also cared about my general well being. The professionalism, work ethic and general care of clients is of the highest standard I have ever seen. I have learned so much and I am so grateful to the whole firm. I literally thank God for everyone, they saved my life. ”

“ Patricia has been an exceptional solicitor throughout my partner’s legal proceedings. Her expertise and dedication were evident from our very first meeting. She possesses a remarkable ability to simplify complex legal jargon into understandable terms, which greatly eased my concerns. Her attention to detail is second to none, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. Patricia’s strategic thinking and proactive approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome in his case. Her professionalism and empathy not only provided legal support but also emotional reassurance during stressful times. I am immensely grateful for Patricia’s hard work and would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Her commitment to her clients and passion for the law are truly commendable. The rest of the team we already met are absolutely fantastic so far ! Thank you all ”

“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. ”

“Firstly a huge loss to London but a massive gain for Birmingham and the north, you tik tokers / insta lawyers with silly catch phrases really need to learn from this guy; I wanted to be the first to thank Mohammed Zeb personally for saving my life, that of my family being the rock when we needed him through covid and beyond making sacrifices that a normal solicitor simply will not do. i was caught in a a case which saw me remanded and incarcerated in an institution where you literally had to watch you back 24/7. the case was listed for trial and was one of the first major cases to proceed during lock down at the Central Criminal Court. My co defendants all had major Queens Counsel appointed as I did also. I was remanded for many many months, I insisted on bail and even though queens counsel and junior where reluctant before the recorder of London, Zeb managed to persuade them and anyway the long and short of it was that on my 5th attempt I GOT BAIL. (Praise the Lord and the energy of Mohammed Zeb this stage of my case saved me mentally). The amount of legal visits and conferences after I got bail was unprecedented, Queens Council hats of to him also engaged and to be honest of it wasn't for Mohammed Zeb no silk would have put the man power in to it on legal Aid Rates. The trial was a free for all : it was carnage my co defendants team attempted to make the whole case in to a gang land attack : organized and orchestrated. lots and lots of things happened in my case ; evidence excluded, witnesses unreliable, anonymity applications refused etc etc real complicated legal argument: it honestly was like if these people were speaking a foreign language, but gain Mohammed Zeb explained it all, we collated out witness statements, site visits ( zeb made the qc go to the scene), expert evidence, and literally smashed the other side to the point I recall standing outside court room 11 all the other silks saying honestly in passing I wish Mohammed zeb was our instructing solicitor. The list caller even was shocked at these comments and gave me the thumbs up. When verdicts came i was acquitted i was a fee man: and I owe it to Zeb, and even at that stage the other silks were talking to my team saying hats of to Mo zeb, My message to the midlands and the North; PEASE PLEASE JUST ARRANGE A MEETING : ALL THESE SNOWFLAKE LAWYERS ON TOK TIK MAKING SILLY COMMENTS YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. FOR KNOW BLESS, PEACE OUT X AND ALL THE BEST MOHAMMED ZEB. ”
