Richard Bayliss Solicitor | Criminal Defence Reviews 50

I found myself in a very worrying position of being charged with downloading Indecent images. After receiving the court summons I contacted Richard for advise.
I booked him for 1 hour through his website and he contacted me and gave me very good advise then sent me a letter confirming this, I was impressed so hired him.
Richard was then invaluable to the lead up to the hearing at the magistrates court where he stopped the prosecution putting silly preventions on me and got me unconditional bail.
Because my case was so serious I was to attend crown court 1 month later for sentencing. Richard sourced me a barrister, briefed him and prepared a meeting for all of us. On the day of sentencing I met with Richard and the barrister and I felt like they really were there to help me in this very difficult and stressful time. I really was facing the prospect of going to prison but they managed to get it suspended and also managed that I was not put on a Sexual harm prevention order.
I thank Richard for a very professional service.

Friendly, very helpful and reassuring. Would give advice when asked which made things clearer. Non judgemental, and would recommend to anyone that needs a solicitor.

I handed over my case from a duty solicitor to Richard, and in the end, the case has been concluded as No Further Action. There are some key points that I want to highlight that I experienced with him. He can identify and view the problem in different dimensions and provide the highest possible advice and actions professionally. He was very approachable most of the time and also respects our suggestions. I owe him a big thanks for handling my case from end to end and also I recommend everyone use his amazing skills and abilities in this domain.

I reached out to Richard during a difficult moment in my life. I spoke to a few "big" firms who all wanted me to part with £1000's after an initial consultation.

This was not the case with Richard, actually quite the contrary. I booked in an hour session with him via his website and during this session, I explained my issue and Richard explained all the different routes that I could be taken down. For me this was very useful as this was my first involvement with law. There are so many things on the internet but a lot of it is confusing but Richard was able to make everything simple and clear.

At the end of our call, he suggested that I wait to hear back on whether charges would be made against me before getting back to him as this was the best option for me in my specific scenario. This was very odd, but pleasing, to hear as near enough all other "big" firms wanted £1000's for the pre-charge investigation. Richard was definitely not out to take my money, but rather genuinely wanted to help me further if needed to save me money.

In the end, no further action was taken against me. I am so glad I reached out to Richard as I would have parted with £1000's elsewhere and got the same outcome! Thank you so much!

Mr. Richard Bayliss is the best solicitor you will ever come across in your lifetime. I was made a lot of fake promises by some specialist solicitors, quoting thousands of pounds without even having an insight into my case. Richard thoroughly checked my case related documentation and advice onto the best course of action. I can only thank Richard and wish him a very best of luck.

First Class Lawyer

The first time I contacted Richard he immediately knew that my case is not going any where near a court room. For months and months Richard emailed the "Obstructive Officer" to return all of my properties. I am so grateful that Richard was the one who took my case, because the duty solicitors are just as bad as the officer incharged.
+10 Points to Richard Bayliss
-10 Points for the PC and the Duty Solicitor

I cannot thank you enough, Richard!

I cannot rate Richard highly enough. From the word go, when Richard took my case he provided the breakdown of the case, all possible scenarios, stages and outcomes. His knowledge and experiences in cases such as mine combined with a friendly, honest, empathetic, professional, patient and homely client service was amazing. I would recommend Richard Bayliss to anyone, any day. Thank you for the good service!

So far, I found Richard is treating people with respect. He provided clear, concise and exemplary advice. He knows his profession and the law!
Thank you Richard.

Richard is absolutely incredible and I could not fault him in any way. He was so helpful, kind, understanding, knowledgable, patient and really made the whole process of a voluntary interview so much more easier and calm for me. He took so much time to address any worries I had and it was great to have him as he really makes you feel like he is on your side advocating for you. I cannot thank Richard enough, his extensive knowledge and approachable personality is flawless and I would absolutely recommend Richard to anyone especially if you are nervous or uncertain. Thank you again for the amazing job Richard

Whilst looking for a private criminal defence solicitor, I came across Richard's positive reviews on here and thought he sounded too good to be true. During my free initial meeting with him there was no pressure to commit. Richard gave thorough and thoughtful advice and I feel truly put in the work to understand my complicated situation.

I am so glad that I went ahead and worked with Richard - his patience, calm and professionalism helped me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life.

Richard skilfully helped me achieve what had felt an impossible result of no further action. Had this not happened, I would not have regretted working with him as my Solicitor. Richard provided me with invaluable advice as I navigated the complex police system for the first time. He graciously, clearly and promptly responded to my numerous questions. At a time when I was struggling mentally, having Richard as the Polices main contact for my case was key.

Richard is reliable, realistic and professional, I am so grateful to have had him on my side.

5 Star lawyer, very approachable and diligent, keeps you informed throughout the investigation process, Explains all the options open to you in a practical way. Much better than any large firm, great value for money.

Richard was not only incredibly profesional and helpful but also highly compasionate during a very difficult time of my life.
If you feel scared and alone after contact with the police I recomend reaching out to him.
I have mental health and learning difficulties and he was so helpful in a time I felt hopless.
He was invaluble to me and am so grateful for his help.

My experience with Richard was nothing less than perfect. I emailed him late one evening regarding a case and he was in touch first thing the next day. He kindly took the time to hear out my case and helped me understand what the outcomes could be. By the end of the conversation we had a full plan of what to do going forward as well as a complete understanding of my options. I couldn't be more thankful his advice/support and for that reason I would thoroughly recommend Richard.

Richard got me through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. He is and remains impartial his professionalism is next to none especially when I believed everything was going against me he put me at ease and because of this my confidence in him exceeded and he kept me updated on everything from the onset after my case in court, Richard didn't just treat me as just another client he asked if there was anything he could do to support me i.e whether there any was further advice or agencies I may want to use , many solicitors aren't like this , I am eternally grateful to him and will definitely recommend him to all my family, friends or any one who really requires an excellent lawyer.

Richard took his time to carefully listen to my situation and provide me with clear advice and explained everything in detail. His helpful advice was invaluable.

Richard shows nothing but professionalism and competence from the initial meet. He was fantastic throughout the engagement and made sure to follow up when things were slowing down. I have nothing but good things to say about Richard.

I had successfully transitioned from a previous solicitor to Mr. Bayliss.

I was ill-advised initially before I sought advice from Richard. I can honestly say that In the seven years I've been immersed in litigation, Richard has been the most tentative and assertive solicitor I've dealt with.

These aren't just buzz words to me, assertiveness is vital when representing someone. He is capable of critical thought, as opposed to being a sycophant like most others. Richard was punctual at all times, arranging meetings and catch-ups.

He was tentative to my desires of "not guilty" pleas which some solicitors tend to grimace at. Notwithstanding, Richard always highlighted his concerns, he remained impartial and supported my case at every hurdle.

Enclosing, Richard never followed protocol to suit his own reputation, I felt like my needs were put first. The words I used to him once, "If I lose this case, I can't say a bad word about how you helped me. Thank you".

Very reliable and trustworthy solicitor. Richard has excellent attention to detail and extensive legal experience. I would highly recommend his services.

I got great advice and represantation with traffic offense, reasonable fares, I strongly recommend Richard Bayliss

I ve used Richard s services twice now and I can say he is trully professional,with his advice and way with words he got me the best result possible on both occasions. In the unfortunate event of needing a solicitor again he would be defenetly the one I would go to
