Testimonials

Georgina05/04/2026

Reeds solicitors are by far the best law firm I have ever come across. From the very beginning I was treated with patience, understanding and clear guidance. I was incredibly fortunate to have found Lucy Tapper, who has been nothing short of phenomenal from beginning to end. She genuinely cares about her cases and clients, and her dedication really shows. She is a formidable barrister, and her skill and expertise left me completely in awe. Lucy's support and representation made all the difference, and I will never be able to thank her enough. I'd also like to give thanks to Scott Primmer, who took the time to speak to me before recommending Lucy, as well as Helen Locke, who also showed great dedication, patience and care.

I cannot thank Clare Galo enough for the support and representation she give me during an extremely stressful and traumatic time.

She took the time to explain everything in a way that I could understand, offered honest and practical advice and made me feel she was fighting my corner every step of the way.Clare's depth of knowledge , clearly built over more than 20 years experience in her field was evident throughout.What stood out was the speed and precision of Clare's work, combined with her calm reassurance. Thanks to Clare's expertise and determination, she was able to achieve an unexpectedly positive result, far better than I thought possible given the circumstances.Clare, not only is experienced but genuinely cares for her clients.

I highly recommend Reeds Solicitors and in particular Macy Brooks and Barrister Khan who have been supporting my son and I through a tricky period.Nothing was ever too much trouble for them; they were so patient and understanding and always respectful. Even though they were originally the duty Solicitors, they both always listened and were never dismissive; we were made to feel just as important. In my opinion. they are a credit to the firm.They were considerate and thorough and did a fantastic job representing my son whom thanks to them, has been given a second chance. They have proven to be genuinely caring and accommodating which is not something you often see in this arena.I will be forever thankful for their commitment to get the best outcome and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of efficient yet compassionate legal representation.Sincere thanks always.

Steve G.14/01/2026

For 4 months I had dealings with Reeds. Tom Brymer was the solicitor advising me and I also had contact with a few other staff members.They could not have been kinder or friendlier. For someone who was completely out of his depth and in a situation I had never been in before they made me feel comfortable at all times.Talking to Tom felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a solicitor.We had never met before but on our first meeting I knew immediately that I was in safe hands.He never judged me and neither did any of the staff I had dealings with. All they wanted to do was help a man in an awful position. He gave me a very thorough explanation of every process of the situation I was in. As I had never been involved with anything to do with the law and the court system before this was extremely important for me as I had no idea of what to expect.As daunting as the whole process was for me the one thing I felt extremely comfortable with was having Tom next to me.He was always very straight with me and very honest,things I appreciate so much.How my situation would have turned out without Toms assistance I don’t know so I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone in need.My situation had a positive conclusion and that is certainly all down to Tom and his fantastic staff.As much as I hope I am never in a situation where I need Reeds in a professional manner once again I would,without a doubt in my mind,call them immediately.Without sounding too dramatic Reeds and their amazing staff saved me. I will forever be extremely grateful to everyone there that dealt with me.Kind. Friendly. Outstanding.

Our autistic son was charged by CPS of stalking without fear/alarm/distress (recordable). This came as a shock to us, and we did not know where to turn for help. Looking for legal help from solicitors who are aware of autism spectrum disorder was daunting. Our search brought us to Reeds’ Solicitors after reading their autism related statement on their webpage. Our case was taken up by Mr Nathan Seymour-Hyde, who has a reputation for writing excellent ‘letters of representation’. Nathan’s calm demeanour and patient listening helped our son feel at ease with him. He explained to our son what would be expected if the CPS were to go ahead with the trial. At the trial, Nathan’s defence was based on meticulous examination of the evidence presented by the CPS and its ambiguous nature which could be confusing to a neurodivergent person. He dismantled the evidence during the cross-examination of witnesses and presented a strong closing statement. Nathan secured a favourable court verdict for our son which has had an enormously beneficial effect on his welfare and future, for which we as a family are eternally grateful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding representation, professionalism, and careI cannot recommend Maria-Elena Cheshire at Reeds Solicitors highly enough.From the very outset, Maria-Elena demonstrated exceptional professionalism, clarity, and dedication. I was facing an extremely stressful and complex matter that ultimately went to a full day trial, and throughout the entire process Maria-Elena was calm, thorough, and utterly committed to my case.Her preparation was meticulous. She had an impressive command of the facts, identified weaknesses in the prosecution case, and presented clear, well-structured submissions to the court. As a result of her skill and persistence, I was found not guilty after a full day of trial, for which I will always be profoundly grateful.What truly sets Maria-Elena apart is not just her legal ability but her human approach. She was supportive, reassuring, and consistently took the time to explain each stage of the process so I always understood where I stood. During what was one of the most difficult periods of my life, her guidance gave me confidence and much-needed peace of mind.Maria-Elena went above and beyond in every respect — from preparation and advocacy through to aftercare, including assisting with a Defence Costs Order and ensuring nothing was overlooked. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients is exceptional.If you are looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, determined, approachable, and truly invested in achieving the best possible outcome, I would not hesitate to recommend Maria-Elena Cheshire and Reeds Solicitors. An outstanding solicitor and an outstanding firm.Thank you, Maria-Elena.

We’ve used Adele Duffy at Reeds Solicitors on several occasions now, and every single time she has gone above and beyond for us. I genuinely wouldn’t trust anyone else with important legal matters. Adele is incredibly knowledgeable, calm, and confident in everything she does, and you can tell instantly that she knows her field inside out. What truly makes her stand out is the way she supports you, not just during office hours but even when things crop up unexpectedly. She’s been there for us out of hours when we’ve really needed guidance, and that level of dedication is so rare these days. She explains everything clearly, gives honest advice, and makes you feel completely reassured no matter how stressful the situation is. Adele is the type of solicitor who genuinely cares about her clients and their outcomes. Her professionalism, compassion, and commitment are unmatched. I wouldn’t use anyone else, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Reed solicitors helped me from the first phone call. I had a delicate conversation and fast transfer to the correct department. I could not claim legal aid at Magistrates court, Reeds solicitors have a good establishment, that can explain clearly in person and with a decorative structure. Clare Galos was outstanding at court, she was well supportive and caring at hearing and trial. Clare Galos definitely knows her job and knows how to speak on your behalf in a difficult situation.I have used Reeds a few times now and have had the same outcome, care and support from many solicitors.The cost is good and I fully recommend Reeds solicitors and you should too.

I contacted Reeds and spoke with Grace, who was incredibly professional, kind and compassionate during a very dark period in my life. I was then contacted by Tom Brymer, who I instantly got a good feeling from. He answered all my questions in a clear, concise way, and helped prepare me for my PSR interview. I then met Tom and Grace at court, and again they took the time to explain things and set my mind at ease. I ended up getting a really good outcome, and have no doubt in my mind that things could have gone very differently had I not had their support and expertise.The last 6 weeks of my life have been horrendous, but they would have been that much worse had I not had such the support of professionals who go above and beyond to help their clients.

Was extremely worried about this case for six months plus it's been many sleepless nights trying to put to the back of my mind this upcoming trial.How to prepare.... I wasn't willing to talk to anyone really about it I was just still in state of state of shock as to what the charges were however I was contacted by Nathan Seymour Hyde... and I finally decided it was time to talk and get my side across... unfortunately for me I'd left it 48 hours before the trial date!! Anyway on a weekend this gentleman had basically given me a call ask me some questions maybe feel completely at ease and after about 40 minutes on the phone I got off that phone feeling completely confident that there is a case to fight and I was gonna fight it I'm so grateful to Nathan for everything he did and the Amazing part was the trial lasted a minute or two and was charges were dropped due to Nathan and his quick thinking!!Thank you so much Nathan! YOU are definitely worth your weight in gold!A REAL CREDIT to your company I'm so pleased I met you and I'm really grateful again and I would recommend you to anybody I'm so busy using you again if anything else happens thank you again 5* SERVICE!!

Highly reccomend Reeds solicitor after having a 1 hour phone consultation with Nathan Seymour-Hyde I knew this was the company i was going to use his knowledge and advise he gave me was outstanding and I knew I stood my best chance with him.I was wrongly accused of breaking a Byelaw by TFL after lots of emails and phone conversations with TFL they wouldn't drop the charges and they wanted me to plead guilty to an offence I didnt commit. I pleaded non guilty and recieved a letter stating they were taking me to court. I was absolutely devastated this was such a stressful and worrying time for me as I knew a criminal record would severely impact my life and my business.Nathan was outstanding he wrote a letter to TFL and his representation was incredible shortly after I received an email from TFL stating they have dropped there charges and I wont be going to court.From my experience TFL are absolutely ruthless and if you find yourself in a similar situation dont waste your time trying to resolve it with TFL as they will keep proceeding and wont give up. Contact Nathan Seymour-Hyde he will fight your corner and provide you with the best defence you could get. He will also relieve all of your stress and worries and take care of everything.Thank you so much for your help flawless company outstanding work one very happy client. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot recommend my solicitor, Damian Wall, 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!

Antoni L.17/09/2025

I 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.

I can not recommend Damian Wall highly enough. From the very beginning, he showed the utmost professionalism, courtesy, and care in handling my case. I was facing a false accusation, which was an extremely stressful and difficult time for me. He went above and beyond in every respect – often working out of hours, keeping me fully informed, and giving my case his full attention. His ability to identify contradictions and inconsistencies in the statements against me was outstanding, and his meticulous attention to detail made all the difference. Thanks to his dedication and skill, the right result was achieved. Beyond his legal expertise, his manner was always respectful, reassuring, and supportive, which gave me real confidence throughout the process. I am truly grateful for the way he represented me, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a solicitor who combines professionalism with genuine care for his clients.

Max Riley‑Gould was God sent for me, when I was going through a difficult period in my life. A brilliant lawyer with genuine empathy and care for his client's welfare. He fought my case with dedication and great professionalism. A great communicator, Max kept us always informed of developments, not guaranteeing outcomes but giving us confidence throughout. I am finally acquitted of all charges today thanks, in great part, to the wonderful work that Max did on the case. I highly recommend him. I am forever greatful Max! Thank you!!

We met Tom Brymer today as the court-appointed solicitor for our upcoming trial, and we were genuinely impressed. Although it was our first meeting, he was immediately very helpful, informative, and professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions patiently, and made sure we understood the legal process ahead.It’s clear that he is highly dedicated and a master in his craft, even in this early stage. His calm and confident manner gave us reassurance during a stressful time, and we feel fortunate to have his support.Based on our initial experience, we highly recommend him to anyone needing strong and knowledgeable legal representation and most importantly we won the case

I had legal advice and guidance off Damian Wall who was excellent from start to finish through a very tough time for me and my familyHaving never encountered the police before this was all new to me and having four false allegations made Damian made a very tough situation much smoother and provided pre-charge advice which helped alleviate the fear of potentially ending up with a record or jail timeWhat I liked and appreciated from Damian was his calm attitude and very quick responses to questions and his guidance was very much appreciatedIn the end all was dropped and thankfully life can go back to normal.Damian was very professional from start to finish and do not hesitate recommending himThanks for all your helpAdrian

I had the pleasure of being represented by Robert from Reeds Solicitors in what was a particularly sensitive and emotionally challenging domestic case. From the very beginning, Robert demonstrated a high level of professionalism, empathy, and a genuine commitment to supporting me through every step of the process.Throughout the case, Robert provided clear, straightforward legal advice and took the time to ensure I fully understood all available options. His communication was always prompt and reassuring, which made a real difference during such a stressful period.What stood out most was Robert’s calm, thoughtful approach and his ability to manage complex and personal matters with both skill and sensitivity. He remained focused on achieving a fair outcome, while maintaining respect and discretion throughout.Thanks to Robert’s guidance and expertise, we reached a positive resolution, and I am sincerely grateful for his support. I would not hesitate to recommend Robert and the team at Reeds Solicitors to anyone facing a family or domestic legal matter — their professionalism and care are second to none.

Excellent service. If you have any issues, I strongly recommend you seek advice from Reeds. You will pay, of course, but it's fair and the support is well worth the money. My issue was resolved satisfactorily and without the legal service I am not sure it would have been. What seems simple isn't and their experience tells.
