Steph Grieve

Tagged solicitor Steph Grieve

I am a serving Corporal within the British Army, and I am being charged with 2 offences within Service Law, that were not my fault, and of which, there are many mitigating factors contributing to the case. The charges carry punishments of docking of up to 7 leave days, and a fine of up to 28 days pay. I got in touch with Stephanie Grieve for some Legal advice. I had seen on social media of the work she has done to aid Military Personnel in the Civil courts. As both a Civil Lawyer, and an Officer in the Royal Military Police, and therefor is experienced with Service Law, all I can say is she was outstanding. She listened to me as I recounted the event and read the statements, and gave me some solid legal advice, and reassurance that I had done the right thing, and should definitely contest the charges. She got me in contact with a great Court Martial lawyer, and I am proceeding with them. Her communication with me has been faultless throughout. At present, I am still waiting for the dates for my Court Martial, however I am extremely confident of a win, and importantly the charges being dropped before it even hits the Court Martial, due to the advice that Stephanie has given me. My military lawyer has confirmed exactly what Steph has advised me, and we are proceeding on that front. A solid 10/10, I cannot fault her, and will recommend Steph to any Service Personnel looking for advice.

Graeme Parkinson

Tagged solicitor Graeme Parkinson

Having been informed that an allegation was made against me, I contacted Forbes and asked to speak to someone. I spoke to Graeme Parkinson, an extremely knowledgeable and time served lawyer who guided me as to what the process would be. Graeme was extremely friendly, and kept me upto date throughout the process, including pre and post voluntary interview. Once the powers that be confirmed there was no case to answer, Graeme informed me immediately. I honestly can’t recommend Graeme and all at Forbes enough (a special mention to Karen W as well). If anyone needs any form of representation, advice or guidance, I would suggest and recommend Forbes.

If you are looking for legal representation for yourself or possibly a son or daughter, especially if its a delicate matter, then simply, look no further, we were left in a very unfortunate position where for some unknown reason, at the last minute the legal firm we had, decided to stop representing my son, Ashtons Legal stepped in, and all i can say is they were unbelievable in every way, we were 100 percent confident that they were really fighting our sons corner, yes they were exceptionally professional but more than that, they really showed compassion and understanding for what we were going through and yes the result they achieved in court was far better than we ever expected. It is so difficult picking the right legal representation, our worry was always have we picked the right one, simple answer yes we did we chose Ashtons.

Rachel Mason

Tagged solicitor Rachel Mason

I have never used a solicitor before and I was very wary of who I should use and if it would cost me a fortune. I have to say I was more than impressed from the service that I received from Rachel. It was a very sensitive issue and she showed empathy and support throughout keeping me fully informed every step of the journey. She showed no judgement and made me feel at ease throughout. Every time I contacted her it was never too much trouble to speak to me and show empathy. The cost was more than value for money especially when other solicitors were charging ridiculous prices for a service. I would 100% recommend Rachel and SlaterHeelis. You not only achieved a positive outcome but also gave me my life back. Thank you
