Thank You Gareth

I was recommended Gareth Martin from Olliers Solicitors under extremely difficult circumstances. From my initial phone call which was then followed up with a meeting, Gareth understood the case fully. His calming professional manner enabled me to deal with the situation ahead in the correct way.
He was always there when needed to represent me and reply to any challenges that arose. He joined meetings quickly, followed up with advice and made sure I focused on what was important.

I can not thank him enough and anyone looking for a lawyer in his field - no question, Gareth is excellent. I would highly recommend.

NFA Outcome

I can’t thank Nicola enough for her exceptional support and expertise during a challenging time. From the outset, she emphasised the value of pre-charge engagement, a step that I found invaluable in reducing the stress and suffering that can so easily escalate in these situations. Her guidance and proactive approach provided peace of mind when I needed it most, helping to manage issues before they became overwhelming.

If you’re considering your options, I highly recommend opting for a fixed-fee package. While it might seem like a significant expense upfront, the toll that prolonged uncertainty takes on your mental well-being and overall health far outweighs the costs involved. Nicola’s fees are both fair and affordable, reflecting the real value of her expertise in a system where justice can be costly. In today’s climate, where scrutiny is heightened and the risk of charges is ever-present, investing in early, effective support isn’t something to hesitate over. With Nicola by your side, you’re not just paying for a service, you’re investing in your peace of mind and the best possible outcome for your future

Positive Experience / Outcome

Maria was very helpful in getting an arrest removed from my PCN record. Using information I provided about the situation, Maria put forward a strong case for arrest record deletion. Maria was re-assuring and understanding, which helped put me at ease throughout the process.

Amazing service

After having one interview with a local solicitor who then never contacted me and left me with no way to contact them, I was directed towards Olliers. I had an immediate interview and was offered help for my case. I could contact Anne-Marie at any hour and she would reply to me reassuringly. Laura assisted me on a court date with a willingness and knowledge of the area well. I couldn't recommend them anymore, especially for the help they provided me during such a difficult time.

Excellent service

After taking on a local solicitor and him turning up late for the interview I googled Olliers and got in contact with them after reading there reviews. From the initial phone call I felt so much better. We had a face to face with Ann Marie and everything was so great from start to finish. We were kept updated by phone calls and emails throughout the case. I really can't thank Olliers and Ann Marie Nicholls enough. 5***** from me

Beyond grateful

In the midst of an ongoing legal battle, Nicola Bruce from Olliers has been my unwavering support. As my case continues, her proactive approach and empathetic counsel have been crucial. Grateful for her dedication, I'm navigating false accusations with confidence, knowing I'm in capable hands. For anyone facing pre-charge issues, I strongly recommend Olliers, particularly Nicola. Despite the ongoing nature of my case, her expertise provides assurance and guidance through the complexities. This journey is ongoing, but with Nicola on my side, I am steadfast in my pursuit of justice.

Pre-charge engagement

I had previously been to another criminal solicitor who had told me there would most likely be a charge for my case. I was worried about the potential impact of this on my career, so I did my research and found out about Olliers Solicitors and pre-charge engagement.
Nicola was assigned to my case and she did an amazing job with my pre-charge engagement. Case was closed with no further action. I would give 6 stars if I could.

Delighted to provide feedback and recommendation for Gareth Martin who dealt with a difficult and stressful regulatory matter for our family. Throughout Gareth's communication was outstanding; clear and regular updates and explanation at each step. He gave us confidence, and dealt with everyone in a sensitive, empathetic, and calm manner. Took extra effort to help reduce the stress and anxiety. Was patient with all our dumb questions and, above all his professionalism and hard work resulted in the best possible and correct outcome. I really felt that he went the extra mile for us; Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Sonia and Nathalie, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through the process with clarity and confidence. What stood out most was the way they listened with genuine empathy, making me feel supported and understood every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication led to a clear and successful outcome something I’m truly grateful for.

Olliers Solicitors have been scamming children, promising them certificates in exchange for participating in online work experience and then never sending them out, and ignoring all emails. They have also encouraged them to leave a positive review in exchange for a reward.
