Ruth Barber

Tagged solicitor Ruth Barber

We had never been in this situation before and I rang Tees on very short notice for advice. Ruth was very legally clear and exceptionally efficient which put us on ease. She then attended police custody interviews with us at very inhospitable times and 'held our hands' through the process to ensure we were not being tripped up at any stage. Ruth has our great thanks for her help.

Matthew Bliss

Tagged solicitor Matthew Bliss

I cannot recommend Matthew Bliss highly enough. From the moment he took on my case, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine care for my situation. Criminal matters can be incredibly stressful, but Matthew guided me through every step with clarity, honesty, and confidence. What truly sets him apart is his ability to explain complex legal issues in a way that feels understandable and manageable. He never made me feel judged or overwhelmed, and he was always prepared—calm, focused, and strategic. His attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. Matthew’s support went well beyond the courtroom. He was always responsive, reassuring, and patient, which made an incredibly difficult time far more bearable. Thanks to his expertise and commitment, my case was handled with the highest level of skill, resulting in a far better outcome than I ever expected. If you need a criminal law solicitor who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in his clients, Matthew Bliss is the person you want on your side. An exceptional solicitor and an exceptional human being.

Laura Horne-SmithMichael Horne

Tagged solicitors Laura Horne-Smith and Michael Horne

Kidwells represented me in the defence of a highly sensitive criminal case that had the potential to cause significant and long-term hardship for both me and my family. From the outset, Michael was clear, open, and honest about what to expect. His diligent and thorough approach provided reassurance during an extremely challenging time. I was also supported by Laura, whose care and attention throughout the process were exceptional. Her support extended beyond email communication to in-person meetings and attendance at court. Having her there made a considerable difference, particularly as I was navigating a completely unfamiliar and daunting environment. Kidwells also instructed a barrister, who demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise. The combined experience and dedication of the entire team ultimately resulted in an acquittal, bringing an end to 18 months of intense pressure for me and my family. I cannot thank them enough for the support and representation they provided throughout.
