Top 10 of 1,006 law firms for Voluntary Manslaughter, Criminal Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Voluntary manslaughter covers killings that lawmakers treat as less than murder, typically where a murder charge can be reduced due to a partial defence such as diminished responsibility or loss of control. A solicitor helps with strategy, collects and analyzes medical and psychological evidence, coordinates expert reports, and drafts the necessary defences and mitigation for trial and sentencing. They also advise on potential appeals and liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service to determine the best path through investigation, plea, or trial.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The key issues include the legal tests for diminished responsibility under the Homicide Act 1957 and for loss of control under sections 2 and 54-55, the gathering and presentation of psychiatric or medical evidence, and the interactions with the Crown Prosecution Service, the court, and any expert witnesses. The solicitor shapes how the defence is run, including submission of evidence, witness handling, and any sentencing considerations.

My son was recently accused of a number of serious charges (8 counts in total) by his previous partner. His previous partner was a fantasist who manipulated the Police with her statements to the point where my son had to go to Crown Court to defend himself. We picked Eventum Legal as they specialise in defending domestic abuse cases and we have all been very impressed with how they handled the case throughout and the high quality of the barrister that they appointed to defend my son. The result of this robust defence was my son being found not guilty on all counts by a unanimous jury verdict. I would definitely recommend Eventum Legal to anyone else in a similar position to the one that my son found himself in.

Tagged solicitors Oliver Simon Gardner and Saul Gardner

I had the pleasure of being represented by Oliver and Saul. Saul worked very hard to bring my case together, working above and beyond, and certainly surpassed my expectations, even working long outside of his normal working hours too....nothing was too much trouble, and also being very vigilant, prompt and understanding. Oliver is fantastic. The way he presented my case was very professional, and again, surpassed my expectations. He made me feel at ease, being very down to earth, and explaining things very well. I would certainly recommend them, and have complete faith in them both. Thank you Oliver and Saul, for your ongoing support, I am so very grateful.

I had a very good experience Denise Wilson-Osuide. Throughout the case from first meeting her to the end, she was explicitly clear with all her emails and calls. She was also there for me mentally and emotionally. I'm happy with her service.

Tagged solicitor Madeleine Corr

Dear Madeleine, I want to sincerely thank you for all your support throughout this emotionally challenging journey. Your kindness, understanding, and steady guidance have meant more to me than I can express, and I will always be deeply grateful. Thank you so much for calming me down during our initial phone call(thank you so much to the receptionist who promptly connected the line to Madeleine to reassure me) and for being so patient with me. In a time when everything felt overwhelming, your calm presence made a real difference. It’s so easy to feel like just another client in situations like this—but you never made me feel that way. You made me feel seen, heard, and never alone in this journey. Finding myself in trouble for using something I shouldn’t have was incredibly difficult. After being turned down by two solicitors and told I would face criminal charges, I was filled with fear and uncertainty. But your support helped me stay grounded. Thanks to you, I now feel a sense of peace and can genuinely look forward to the next chapter. You’re truly amazing at what you do—changing lives for the better and giving people the chance to do better. I hope that in my own career, I’m able to make even a fraction of the impact you have. Wishing you all the very best in everything ahead. With heartfelt thanks, R
