Mark Wardley

Tagged solicitor Mark Wardley

I have been so impressed and pleased with the service I have received from Mark. He has dealt with my case for best part of a year and he has been brilliant. He has always kept me updated with everything I needed to know and has been readily available by email and phone call if I had any worries or concerns about things. The quality of all the documents he produced for me were of very high standard and he always listened to my thoughts about things and clarified anything I wasn’t sure of. Mark has made what has been a very difficult year slightly more bearable with all the hard work he has put into making things right with my case and I’m very grateful. I would absolutely recommend Mark and his firm

Kuldeep Clair

Tagged solicitor Kuldeep Clair

Mr Kuldeep S. Clair displayed professionalism and a hands-on approach, when he handled an employment matter and defended my case. From the moment we first spoke over the phone, Kuldeep seemed very polite and showed willingness to listen. I initially felt at ease talking to him about my case - it all felt natural. Mr Kuldeep represented me at my Newton Trial, which lead to a successful outcome with a community order rather than immediate/suspended sentence! My family and I, could not thank him enough with all the help we received from him. He was thorough with paperwork, arrived at the court on time, patient listener, understanding of the situation (whilst keeping things professional) and always making sure I am updated with the necessary information/result (from start to finish). I tend to say a lot of things when trying to explain myself, but Mr Kuldeep remained open to our discussions and without realising; he eventually used my own words/explanations inside the court to defend me. This showed me that he cares a lot about his clients' needs. I honestly and genuinely, could not have had a better lawyer! HIGHLY recommended!

Dear Leanne, I can not put into words how truly amazing you have been throughout this whole situation. When Simon was arrested a huge hole was left in our family, we were do upset. You have been more than a solicitor you have been just as invested as we are in getting Simon free. You have supported us in more ways than you will ever know. For the time you worked for Simon you became part of our team our family. You always dealt with us in a caring supportive manner and you gave us hope. Our youngest son just 8 years old was so sad but he always felt happy after my husband and I have spoken to you. That was because not only did you do your job you spent the time to support us all. What you have done matters. I just don't know how we will ever thank you. I would like to keep you in touch with Simons successes so you see him achieve his goals you should always feel your were part of that and you mattered, no one deserves to feel that more than you. You did an amazing job All out thanks and love Stay Safe The Bear Family

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.
