As counsel it is so important to have a good working relationship with the fee earner in the case you are conducting because it is their responsibility to assist with building rapport with the lay client, take instructions, review the evidence and discuss it with you, take witness statements, draft other documents, instruct experts and so on. Rachel [Murphy] carries out all of the above to the highest standard. I am proud of our working relationship. My admiration for her work is simply because she is amongst the very best fee earners I have worked with. I can say with confidence, having worked with her for over a decade, that she leaves no stone unturned in ensuring that justice is done and is very knowledgeable when it comes to criminal law. I would have no reservations in recommending Rachel. I believe her to be a diligent, wise and capable legal professional. In short, she is a pleasure to work with.

The case is nearly over and the judge has starting summing up today so fingers crossed, the Jury will return with the correct decision. Whatever the outcome, I would like to thank you [Kim], Sue and everyone at Burton Copeland who has worked on the case and express my further gratitude to the fact that you instructed Rick Holland and Alex Leach to work on my behalf. Both have worked tirelessly on my case and attention to detail has been second to none. In particular, Rick Holland whom I know has been working from the early hours every morning and weekends even before the trial commenced. The sacrifices to his life in order to do this are above and beyond what could be expected from anyone. I could not imagine how hard that someone could work to ensure that justice is served correctly on a fellow citizen and I feel that every decision and tactical move that Rick has made has been the correct one. The whole situation is now nearing an end and I have actually enjoyed working with them both and have learnt a lot at the same time. I would not hesitate to recommend either of them and feel that any of your clients whom have the privilege of being represented by Rick or Alex can rest assured that they are in the best possible hands. I would just like to reiterate, whatever conclusion reached by the Jury, I know that I have had the best defence possible and both are a credit to the legal system and you should not hesitate to instruct either for your future clients.
