Go for the best

My son was found not guilty at the crown court on false allegations by a malicious ex partner. Over zealous police men failed to secure CCTV which Spicers and our barrister found. My son is at home with his family. Thank god this trauma is over. My whole family is eternally grateful to you Mr Zeb. If in trouble don’t take a chance with an average firm go for the best JD Spicer Zeb ! The prosecution didn’t listen to anything we said until our defence team thrashed them at Court. Thank you jury as well !

Good value for money

I was truly pleased with the fees for a private meeting with an experienced solicitor. JD Spicer Zeb was able to do the same work for almost half of what another 2 local firms quoted me. The case was dropped by the Police following the solicitors intervention. Good value for money - Thank you so much.

Following the 5 star reviews on google, I decided to personally visit this firm looking for some guidance on a civil matter and i was certainly not disappointed doing so. Although not their field of expertise, Dawhud was polite, well informed and took time to answer all my concerns. He went above and beyond what i expected and his knowledge has given me the confidence to pursue the matter on my own terms going forward. Excellent service from JD Spicer and a Big Thank You to Dawhud for his time and patience today.
