The UK’s leading criminal defence lawyers.

A late review but Jonathan and [Yvonne] were amazing for my partner and stuck by him for the last 4 years and defended him to the hilt as well as always keeping him updated at every stage and making us aware of the stages that were next and always being on the other end of…

Amazing, professional and great legal service provided from Burton Copeland in particular our solicitor Gwyn Lewis. Mr Lewis deserves all the praise- honest, friendly and worth every penny of his work. So much effort put into our case and every last detail is thought through. Staff very friendly and easy to communicate with. If you…

I couldn’t recommend Burton Copeland more highly, particularly Mr Gwyn Lewis himself. The service he provided was both professional and personal! With his knowledge and meticulous attention to detail lead to a positive outcome for my case, which I couldn’t have done with out him! Can’t thank him enough, he came recommended and wow am…

Gwyn is in a class of his own. If you want a safe pair of hands that will conduct himself professionally this is who you need on side! Great service, very knowledgeable and at a reasonable price compared to others. Would highly recommend.

Where does one start when you want to share your story about a company and a man who made a massive impact on your life. Well, it has to be the beginning of the story I guess. Having been driving for nearly 40 years and not having any motoring offences blemishing my licence I made…

Gwyn Lewis was recommended to me to act for my son. His guidance, honesty & professional warm manner made a terrible situation for our family easier. Phone calls to Gwyn were always responded to even if just to say “I’m with a client, will call you back”, which always happened. My thanks also to Lisa…

[Sam’s] Service was brilliant, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

I was very happy with my service and Sam Corcoran is a fantastic solicitor whom I would hold in high regard. Everything you promised you delivered.

[Karl provided] a very professional and supportive service. Excellent outcome.

I would highly recommend Karl and I am happy with the service he provided.

[Karl] I would like to start by thanking you so very much for your help and support in court. Not sure I would have managed without your support and guidance on the day. It was all new to me but with your help, support and guidance I think we managed an excellent result. Thank you very much Karl.

Mr Lewis came like an angel at my worst times. I’d 2 cases where Mr Lewis was helping me. 1st case was dropped at the initial stage (i wasn’t the driver). 2nd one was dismissed after the hearing. I’ll remember his help for a long time. Very professional. His words will put you at ease…

[Rob] thanks for your invaluable help and counsel over the years…you are the best solicitor I could have hoped. Never forget that. You are more amazing than I feel you give yourself credit for. Again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am forever in your debt for my freedom.

The solicitor Louise Straw and barrister Eddison Flint at Burton Copeland were both excellent in relation to my son’s case, going above and beyond for us. I can’t recommend them highly enough. You can have faith they will do their best for you and get the best possible outcome.

I would highly recommend Louise Straw at Burton Copeland for her reactivity and transparency. After a particular argument with a neighbour (ongoing issues), false allegations were made against me. The police turned up on a Friday when I wasn’t in. I therefore contacted a number of Law firms in Manchester for advice early on the…

Excellent professional service offered. I felt completely assured and in very capable hands. Louise Straw was quite simply amazing – fully supportive with superb client care. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and this firm.

Louise Straw did a truly fantastic job for a friend of mine facing a very serious criminal charge. She was sympathetic and supportive and inspired confidence in her ability throughout. The icing on the cake was that he was acquitted. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Louise Straw of Burton Copeland was brilliant at preparing the case and offering tremendous support to the family. She was confident with great knowledge and insight to the harrowing experiences of defendants and their families. Support and compassion helped with the whole process.

I recently had a problem with my employer which needed legal help. Louise attended my police interview with me and guided me through the procedure with professionalism. Louise kept in touch with me throughout until I was cleared of the charges. Thank you Louise.

I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for the legal advice and emotional support provided by one of your solicitors, Celia Thorpe. Celia was incredibly helpful and refreshingly honest at every step of the process.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding legal representation provided by Gwyn Lewis, who defended me in a recent serious driving charge.

Sean was very professional and was able to provide exceptional legal advice when representing my 17yr old son, his communication skills were excellent and he was able to reassure my son and give him a full explanation of the anticipated outcome, putting him at ease. He liaised with the Police Inspector to ensure that the…

Where do I start? DAN WALTON AND SIMON CSOKA (Our barrister) and the receptionist at Burton&Copeland were AMAZING!

Dear Rob, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional professionalism and support during a difficult time. When my son, who was 17 at the time and carrying a knife, found himself in a challenging situation, your presence and guidance were invaluable. Your calm demeanor and ability to navigate this sensitive issue, even…

Our Burton Copeland solicitor Suzanne Dooley was an excellent advocate. She was clear and insightful, keeping us abreast of proceedings and answering our questions as they arose. She was also compassionate and supportive at a difficult time, going the extra mile despite other demands on her time. We would definitely use her again.

Representation from Mr Gwyn Lewis himself has been more than 5 stars, I could not express how grateful I was and still am for his support and dedicated hard work. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you very much for everything!

I found Gwyn extremely helpful and efficient giving you the confidence that you have an expert in his field who really care about you!!!

Thank you to Burton Copeland, specifically Gwyn Lewis with the help of Lisa.

He was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings & because of his excellence, we achieved the outcome we wanted 👍 If anyone is looking…

Had to use these recently and was supported by Samantha. She was excellent and very professional. In my opinion went above and beyond as well as making me feel at ease. Definitely a credit to the profession and the company. Hoping not to find myself needing her help again but 100% would recommend 👌
