Top quality and friendly service.

From the first point of contact with the solicitor, I found him honest, caring and very helpful.
The high level of service continued throughout the matter he was dealing with. Always approachable and all
communications were clear and professional, whilst always being
caring and empathetic. Thank you for everything you have done for
my family. It is, and always will be, greatly appreciated.

Outstanding

We were subject to a vexatious claim initiated by a family member, making time a critical factor. After consulting with eight lawyers who did not inspire confidence and seemed primarily concerned with securing a fixed fee to attend court and enter a not guilty plea, we had the good fortune of finding Richard of Sternberg Reed Solicitors. His expertise and unwavering commitment to our case were unparalleled.
Richard handled the case with utmost professionalism and provided timely support throughout the proceedings. His advice was consistently prudent, outlining the options available to us along with the respective advantages and disadvantages. Having participated in over a dozen court hearings, primarily related to contractual matters, I can confidently state that Richard has impressed me more than any other solicitor I have encountered. I wholeheartedly recommend Richard and his team for their exceptional service and am deeply grateful for their assistance and guidance.

Drink Driving Case

Richard handled my case really well. He is very approachable and provides clear, realistic advice. He came into his own when the prosecution went off-piste in court, forcing him to shift his planned approach. His knowledge of the law, tenacity and excellent advocacy skills secured me almost the minimum penalty, and less than I was expecting. I would definitely recommend Richard.

Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner’s case, got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions
following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer

He’s been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I’m bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top

I was recently represented by Richard cooper for a lengthly two and a half years in what seemed like a never ending court case, during this time Richard made me feel comfortable showing compassion and understanding. He is very polite, professional and hard working, his team and choice of barrister was just as amazing, to which they all worked hard in getting me the justice I deserved, should I ever need help again I would without question use Sternberg Reed again.

Thank you

Regards
