What our clients say about us

Client

Client

Pre-charge

Olliers has been fantastic and communicative throughout a multi-year, protracted headache challenging a legal decision. The decision has ultimately been overturned, offering the best result I could have hoped for, but regardless of the outcome I would highly recommend instructing Olliers for any legal assistance required.

Criminal Defence

I cannot thank Olliers enough for their highly professional help on my case, which was dismissed at trial due to lack of evidence from the Crown.

Olliers do exactly what is said on the tin. My case worker was knowledgeable, hardworking and communicative. She made a very stressful process go very smoothly and the representations she produced were clear, succinct and backed by a great understanding of both my personal circumstances and the working conditions which the incident took place within. I received the decision I wanted and Olliers were a vital part of this process. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Pre-charge

I am convinced that the work that has been done at the pre-charge stage was the difference between the matter proceeding and not. You did a detailed review of the matter and worked on it to ensure that necessary work was carried out as speedily as possible. You also did a brilliant job with managing all of the personalities involved in the case.
