Philip Kouvaritakis

Tagged solicitor Philip Kouvaritakis

Philip’s support for our son during a distressing time was exceptional. His advice was clear, knowledgeable and shared without jargon. He was empathetic, listened without judgement and demonstrated flexibility around our availability. In court he was excellently prepared, confident and clearly well-known and liked among court staff in Reading Magistrates Court. The outcome secured for our son was the best we could have hoped for. His sound advice also led to him negotiatiating an out of court settlement for a more serious offence. We would instruct Philip again without hesitation.

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.
