Testimonials
- Amanda G.19/09/2025I cannot recommend my solicitor, Damian Ward, highly enough. He took the facts of my case and made them stand out, examining every angle of my defence and leaving no stone unturned. He engaged the best barrister for a very tricky situation involving new legislation that could easily have been misinterpreted by someone less experienced. His deep knowledge of the law, his understanding of clients, and his determination were second to none. He truly moved mountains to achieve the result we wanted against a very stubborn judicial system. I hope I don’t need his services again, in the nicest possible way, but if I did I feel safe knowing I have him on speed dial!read moreread lessAntoni L.17/09/2025I needed a solicitor to build a case for me quickly then deliver it in court on my behalf. I was taken aback at how fast Clare Galo did this for me and how professionally she delivered my defence in court. Clare Galo was clear, precise and thorough to get everything across to the Judge which resulted in an outcome I could only have hoped for in the movies. My briefing beforehand was not rushed and every detail was not left out as well as a very understanding approach to my explanation and requests of what I was hoping and instructing this solicitor to try and do for me. I could not recommend enough this Professional to represent anyone in court, I'm very grateful this firm had this solicitor working for them and Clare Galo even checked back with me to go over details as she built a case in record time.read moreread less

Lucy has helped me be re released twice and never gave up on me and Harriet had to write a report on such short notice ( probation not doing there job ) as I had hit the 10 year mark. Against the backing of probation, Harriet nailed the report and my licence was terminated. Together they made sure an IPP prisoner was not lost. Thank you so so much, from the bottom of my heart.

- Coreen A.03/12/2024I have been dealing mainly with Owais Qadri at Reeds Solicitors. I have had no previous dealings with the legal system and initially it left me feeling frustrated, and at times, very distressed.

Despite, what must be a very busy schedule, when I contact him with a query, (and there have been many!), he always calls me back, usually on the same day. If he is unable to answer a question straight away he will find out what he can for me as soon as possible. He has always treated me with the utmost understanding and courtesy.

- Muhammed H.01/11/2024I was initially concerned about the SPJ notice I received from TFL regarding my ticket. I had intended to print my ticket before boarding the train, but unfortunately, the ticket machine was out of order. Although I paid for my journey, I later forgot to print my ticket at next station due to being in a hurry and was approached by a revenue officer in London overground. Following that incident, I became anxious about the possibility of a criminal record and how it might impact my professional life. In my search for assistance, I reached out to several solicitor firms, but I found many to be unhelpful and dismissive, questioning why I hadn’t printed my ticket and suggesting that my chances of success were slim since TFL handles these cases strictly. This left me feeling frustrated and disheartened. After conducting further research and reading positive reviews, I decided to contact REEDS. From my very first interaction with case worker Brianna, I felt reassured.Then Brianna assigned my case to solicitor Kate Macnab, who listened attentively to my concerns ,took the time to understand my situation and handled all aspects of my case. She advised me to gather some references and reassured me that I had a good chance of a favorable outcome if I could provide the necessary documentation. I am extremely grateful to REEDS, Kate Macnab, and Brianna for their support and guidance. My case was ultimately dismissed with a warning, and I have no criminal record. I highly recommend REEDS for anyone needing legal assistance; they offer clarity and peace of mind during challenging times.
