I have had previous dealings with Dan Weed and had seen how robustly he defends. He was my "go to solicitor". The matter was ruled No Further Action on any matters it was still over a year before this happened. Dan kept in regular contact throughout the investigation and was well briefed for each meeting we had. He is the hardest working lawyer I have met and he cares about the people he represents. I would recommend him to any person or their families who require criminal advocacy. Mr S - Yorkshire
Anthony Smith has a deserved first-class reputation in serious and organised Criminal defence work. His dedication and commitment to his clients is second to none and the service he provides them is absolutely faultless. From the barrister's perspective his case preparation is immaculate and he's not just an astute tactician but an absolute delight to work alongside. Counsel N - London
So the case is finally over and we really want to thank the whole team for getting such a great result! Words can't express our gratitude and relief. Mr Z - London
The service I received from Yvonne Garside was more than I expected it to be, it was excellent. I felt protected and really well looked after. Always there when I need it. Would definitely prefer to have Yvonne Garside as my lifetime solicitor. Miss B - Manchester
