    A big thanks to Henry Hyams

    Henry Hyams guided me throughout my experience of being arrested and bailed right through to sentencing where after much hard work they managed to secure me a suspended sentence.

    from Henry Hyams Limited

    It’s good to hear that the team at Henry Hyams provided clear guidance and support throughout what must have been a difficult process. We’re pleased you felt well supported from your initial arrest through to sentencing. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Excellent experience with Mike Walsh

    We would recommend Mike Walsh as a criminal defence solicitor without hesitation. He guided my dad and our family through an incredibly difficult couple of years with professionalism and compassion. Mike took the time to fully understand the case, and that preparation was evident on the day in court when we achieved a not guilty verdict. Throughout the entire process, he kept us well informed and explained everything clearly. He was especially patient with my dad, who at 66 found some aspects of the legal process difficult to follow, always taking the time to ensure he felt comfortable and informed. On the day in court, we couldn't have asked for a more confident, knowledgeable, and capable solicitor. Thank you, Mike. We are incredibly grateful for everything you did for our family.

Achieving a positive outcome is always important, but ensuring our clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the process is equally valuable. Your comments will mean a great deal to Mike and the wider team. Thank you again for placing your trust in Henry Hyams, and we wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

    Excellent legal advice 10/10

    I cannot recommend the Crime Department at Henry Hyams Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, the support I received was professional, responsive and reassuring during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Sophie Burkill was outstanding throughout the case. She always kept me informed, explained everything clearly, and treated me with respect and empathy at every stage. I’d also like to thank Mike Walsh for his guidance and support. The whole team demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail and genuine commitment to achieving the right outcome. Following a lengthy and stressful police investigation, the matter concluded with No Further Action. Having a legal team that believed in me, listened carefully, and worked tirelessly on my behalf made a huge difference. If you are looking for experienced, approachable and dedicated criminal defence solicitors, I would have no hesitation in recommending Henry Hyams. Thank you again to Sophie, Mike and everyone involved for all of your hard work and support.

    I came to Henry hyams looking for some criminal advice and help after been charged with three serous charges in January this year where I would have most likely ended up serving a custodial sentence for. With never having any involvement with the police/courts before this was extremely stressful for me. Mike and Chantelle were nothing but great and supportive and I can’t thank them enough. All charges against me no longer stand and I would strongly advise if ever in this position to use Henry hyams for help. Thank you both again for everything!

    Cassie Pill is an exceptional defence solicitor who provided me with outstanding service and support, both emotional and professional throughout my case. Her communication skills are excellent - she kept me informed and up-to-date every step of the way and was always available to answer my questions. What really stood out, though, was her willingness to go above and beyond nothing seemed to be too much trouble, she went out of her way to help me achieve the best possible outcome and ensure I recieved the best possible defence. She's clearly a talented and dedicated professional with a bright future ahead of her. Her dedication to her clients is evident in the way she handled my case and every other case she takes on. Not only is she a brilliant advocate, but she's also a pleasure to work with - approachable, empathetic, and always willing to go the extra mile. With her skills and work ethic, I have no doubt Cassie has a bright future ahead of her in the legal profession, I couldn't recommend her more highly.
