Excellent service, would definitely recommend to anyone in need.

I needed urgent help with my divorce getting stuck in a paper based court since 2018 running months behind. I tried to apply for the divorce myself..and got nowhere fast!
I was recommended to Kambal Kaur who was excellent. She worked hard, pushing from all directions to get my divorce finalised. I was extremely impressed by how thorough and transparent she was, always getting back to me with solutions when I was giving up hope. It’s a very stressful and difficult situation for anyone to go through… but Kambal was by my side all the way. Can’t recommend her services enough…and her assistant Angela was fantastic too. If you are going through a stressful divorce, do not hesitate. The service was impeccable! Thank you Kambal and Angela!!

Made a difficult time easier

Mr Booth made an extremely troublesome and worrying time easier for me to deal with due to his empathy and support. He made a complex case more understandable with his ability to explain things to me in my terms. I hope to never need his services again however, Mr Booth would be my first point of contact should I need his expertise again. It is so very rare to meet a professional that treats you with respect, kindness, empathy and support every step of the way.

Professional and empathetic service

I instructed Mr Booth whilst going through a very personal and extremely difficult time. His incredible knowledge and understanding made the process so much easier to understand and his attention to detail helped ensure that I achieved a fair outcome. Mr Booth took the time to ensure I was kept updated throughout the process, readily available if I needed any information and eased any fears or worries.

Harry Charalambous was excellent and professional throughout

This review is for a different branch.

Harry advised me as the duty officer for a serious criminal assault accusation. Harry understood the position quickly and gave clear and professional advice to help and assist in giving a comprehensive and detailed video recorded interview. Harry kept in close contact to update me on progress and the communication was excellent. The case was ultimately dropped without charge and no further action by the police in less than 4 weeks. I'd highly recommend to use Harry and would have no reservations to use him again.

Great service from start to finish

This review is for a different branch.

I am very happy with the assistance I received for my parole review. This is not only because I got the outcome I wished for but also because throughout the process, I was kept informed regarding developments and key dates. Furthermore, I was able to contact my Solicitor and receive a reply in a timely manner whenever I needed to which was very important to me.

Helped with the legal aid efficiently. If I couldn't speak directly with my Solicitors, I could leave a message. The use of the free phone service is good.

I found GT Stewart to be very proactive and proficient in all of the matters in which they were instructed. Lisa Lovell is friendly, considerate and approachable in her manner, She came across as being genuinely concerned about my welfare and achieving best outcomes.

Terrible experience with Max and Alison child care team. Listen to issues, say its all wrong and they can help, then for 2 weeks desk hope your case because all too busy, staff changes or on holiday constantly and Communication is shocking. Some good people here no doubt, just child care / family law team are terrible.

After a disheartening experience with a previous firm (who I won’t name), I had genuinely lost all hope in the legal system. I was left feeling helpless, unheard, and unsupported. That was until I picked up the phone and called G&T Stewart—and from that moment, everything changed.

Zoe Brettle, Katie, and Harpreet have been nothing short of phenomenal. Professionalism, compassion, strategic brilliance—they embody it all. They didn’t just take on my case; they made me feel like I finally had a real team behind me who cared deeply and knew exactly what they were doing. G&T Stewart have single-handedly restored my faith in the legal system—and that’s not an exaggeration.

And then came Kieran Rainey, my barrister—like gale-force winds in the courtroom. The presence, control, and clarity he brought to my hearing was something to behold. He had the courtroom in the palm of his hand and delivered results beyond what I even thought possible. I felt an unshakable sense of assurance with Kieran representing me—he didn’t just fight my corner; he owned the arena.

If you’re in need of legal representation that actually delivers, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. G&T Stewart and Kieran Rainey are the gold standard. I’ll forever be grateful.

Recommended to me by the law society. Useless firm, didn’t give any information and got this snooty email back:

Thank you for confirming. Unfortunately, having considered the information you have provided we do not think that we will be able to assist you on this occasion.

A representative from Gt Stewart Limited responded to this review on 25 June, 2025:

Dear Zach I am afraid we can only take cases that we have capacity to take on the case and where there is someone immediately available with sufficient expertise. We are one of the few firms still accepting publicly funded work but this restricts us in taking on new cases as the rates have been frozen for many years so it is very difficult to recruit new lawyers to expand capacity. I am sorry if you thought we were being snotty, we did not intent to be.
