Giles Dobson

Tagged solicitor Giles Dobson

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’. I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did. I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

Vanessa Gillbanks

Tagged solicitor Vanessa Gillbanks

I found Vanessa Gillbanks extremely helpful and informative, using language that was easy to understand at a time that was very stressful to me. I would readily recommend this company. The charges were advised to me before I started any proceedings which of course was preferable as I was able to budget for these. I am completely happy to go back to Richard Nelson LLP for any future needs.

Stuart Tyler

Tagged solicitor Stuart Tyler

​After a very poor experience with a previous firm, finding Stuart was incredibly refreshing. The level of service was night and day. ​From start to finish, Stuart was: ​Extremely Knowledgeable: His expertise was evident from the start. He was consistently ahead of the game and nothing escaped his attention. ​Efficient and Responsive: He provided speedy answers and clear communication, meaning I was never left wondering about the status of my case. ​Completely Stress-Free: I encountered absolutely no problems throughout the entire process. If you want someone professional who gets the job done without the usual headaches, I highly recommend Stuart. ​
