Very Good !

Lan solved the malicious false accusation against me with great professionalism and knowledge. He and his colleagues paid attention to my case. Even if I had a language barrier, Lan always listened patiently to me with a lot of details. I hope Lan and his colleagues have a bright future and a happy life.

Ian Graham - PuryErskine

I would like to sincerely thank Ian and his associates for giving me my life back. Securing proper legal counsel has meant this vexatious claim has been debunked. Ian has been an absolute rock throughout; providing moral support along with career and legal advice. Ian and his team have dealt with the military on my behalf with deft precision and the utmost professionalism, which cannot be said for the military. If you need specialist military legal advice, Ian is the man!

Couldn't recommend Pury Erskine enough

Couldn't recommend Pury Erskine enough. From the very first phonecall with Ian, I was made to feel like a person, and not just a case. Always open, honest and to the point, Ian and the team handled my case with the upmost professionalism, keeping me updated as things happened, and calling in person when the case had been successfully concluded.

Honest, professional and effective

From the very first consultation which was on the same day that we contacted Pury Erskine, Ian provided clear and honest advice - we understood exactly what to expect and how Pury Erskine could help. Kiera collected the information they needed from us and kept us fully updated on timings and progress. Together Ian and Kiera prepared a representation which resulted in our case being dealt with administratively with a fine and no court case or conviction. Ian and Kiera were responsive to our questions and concerns as they arose, including calls with Ian out of office hours. We highly recommend Ian and his team to anyone facing a tricky case of alleged fare evasion. We can’t thank them enough for helping our family through an extremely stressful time and getting to a positive result for us.

Absolute fantastic service

Thank you for the high quality service and assurance throughout this case,

Ian was excellent from the start and kept me up-to speed with all proceedings and kept us calm throughout.

Matthew Bolt was excellent and never left a stone unturned, he kept me briefed to the highest standard throughout the case proceedings and had my interests in the forefront of his mind. His knowledge of military law was exceptional.

Thank you again

First Impression = Horrendous

I don't know who this kind, genuine, friendly, warm-hearted Ian is that everyone references in these glowing reviews but my experience consisted of a 2 minute phone call with a man who was rude from the start, came across cocky, ignorant and practically hung the phone up on me whilst calling on behalf of my partner during a very stressful time in our lives. I was calling for an approximate price, granted I didn't have all of the information needed however accusing me of lying in an instance when truth is of the upmost importance, you would think the man on the other end of the phone would have a little bit of empathy when dealing with the concerned public who could end up paying him a lot of money. Hopefully if I ever do talk to Ian he might be the nice person everyone states he is because the man on the phone has made me not want to call back. Thankyou Pury Erskine Ltd for extending the bit of "respite and comfort" to me as you did to every one else who seemed to write these incredible reviews.

Dear Kristi,

We are saddened to read your 1-star review of Pury Erskine after one very short phone call. We take pride in the service we provide all of our clients and it is at the forefront of everything we do.

Whenever we speak with a client for the first time, we need to ask lots of questions in order to attain exactly what we need to do straight away, and be able to provide the caller with the correct information and fee proposal. When we spoke with you, there was some conflicting information that we needed to fully understand prior to providing you with a fee proposal, and so we invited you to call us back when you had the information we needed.

Often, we speak to people at their lowest ebb, and because of this, we strive to show everyone the courtesy and respect they deserve. As you have said, our only contact has been through a very short phone call, and so we are really disappointed that you felt the need to leave us such a low review. We are happy to discuss this further with you, and we hope our response shows the correct context of this review.

Professionalism and expertise

If you're reading this review because you're in need of a solicitor and stumbled upon Pure Erskine , I wholeheartedly recommend them, as explained below.

I was looking at 12-36 months in custody before my case even started.
The fact that I've missed my first court hearing, moved address to Jersey and didn't notice the police was definitely not helping.

After discussion with my solicitor at the time, who did not seem to think I have a chance of getting away with this, I started looking for someone else.
That's when I found Pure Erskine and, after going through their reviews, decided to give them a chance.

I first spoke to Ian, whose calm and friendly demeanour instilled trust from the get go.

After explaining the case to him, we came up with an action plan.
I must say that he did seem a lot more positive than my previous solocitor.

I then came back to the UK to appear before the magistrates court. They have decided that I am a flight risk, and therefore needed to be retained on remand.

Fast forward a month, and Ian managed to move my court date from November to August, as well as, to my surprise and delight managed to get me a suspended sentence of 12 months.

Could not explain to you how grateful I am to Ian, Kiera, Lauren and everyone else at Pure Erskine for their efforts and the result that they got me.

So, if professionalism and expertise in the field of law is what you need, go for Ian and his team.

Best company in UK

Actually there is no words to describe the amazing job that Mr Ian and his staff have done regarding my false accusations case.
We were in deep trouble during 6 months, but Mr Ian sorted my problems with huge professionalism and we won the case.
I can’t thank enough Mr Ian for what he did, without him we wouldn’t find our freedom back in our lives. I am very happy now with my family.
I would like to recommend this company to anyone, it’s actually the best in UK.
Thanks for everything and god bless you and your staff members.

A truly professional, dedicated and unique a firm

It is with great pleasure that I write this review. I retained the services of Pury Erskine for pre-charge intervention, a decision that has quite literally given me my life back. Ian Graham, from the outset, has shown the utmost professionalism and has dealt with a sensitive situation after no fewer than five well-known firms had turned me away, stating that there was nothing they could do to help me. I was losing all hope, then I spoke to Ian. Explaining my predicament, he said the most reassuring thing that anyone could have at that exact moment, ‘please, let me stop you, so I can assure you that it is an utter nonsense that nothing can be done; there is much that can be done, we can and will help you’. From that point began nearly a 10-month-long relationship, in which my case was-not just taken on, but cared for by Ian, Keira, and Lauren. It was, I feel I must add, a case of extraordinary complexity and length.

One of the many invaluable qualities one can expect from this firm is the consistency of personal communication. Having worked with three different law firms over that past year, I feel well placed to remark on the outstanding service offered by Keira and Lauren, in particular their communication and consistency.

When placed in a stressful situation, particularly of a criminal nature, communicating with just two individuals and one solicitor consistently makes a considerable difference. Not once did I have to ring the office, only to find myself in a loop of communications, on hold, transferred multiple times, as has been the norm with other firms. The service at this firm is a personal service, unlike that of any that I have previously experienced.

Both Keira and Lauren seamlessly handled an extraordinary volume of evidence, paperwork, and communications. They worked as one, making what I can imagine was a terrifyingly arduous task look easy. Even under extreme time pressure during video conferences, just seeing their calm, cool and collected approach while Ian, my husband, and I talked at speed was enough to reassure anyone. I am sure that Keira and Lauren will go far in their legal careers. My husband & I would be more than happy to provide either a reference personally or indeed use their services in the future for our personal or business needs should it become necessary.

After nearly ten months of having Ian by my side every step of the way, it was necessary for him to provide a submission to the CPS. The submissions made such a comprehensive and thoroughly excellent legal argument that within mere hours of CPS receiving our file, the CPS charging solicitor stated that there was ‘no case to answer.’ This had been a decision we were expecting to wait for, for up to 3 weeks. The next day I had the very officer who had arrested me for the first time at my door, informing me that the criminal case was closed. Ian ensured that no charges were ever made against me during the near 10-month period.

Ian Graham and his team have shown professionalism, knowledge, and respect, taking great consideration of my personal needs. I also personally found Ian to be kind, genuine, and affable. His emotional intelligence, rational and candid conversation and reassuring words have, throughout this process, been a much-needed tonic in what can only be described as an otherwise Kafkaesque bureaucratic purgatory - one from which I have finally, thankfully been released!

Ian Graham went 500 extra miles to get our case thrown out by the CPS.

Ian Graham and his team have literally saved the life of our family over the last nine months or so.

We have emerged victorious after a long campaign under your clear sighted guidance and leadership The allegations of criminal harassment bordered on the surreal - propelled by a toxic mixture of neighbourhood malice and police incompetence.

Thanks to your powerful submissions we wake up into a new world. Throughout this long battle you were steadfast and always on hand despite many competing claims on your time.

You didn’t just run an extra mile to achieve this victory - more like 500 miles!

Extremely professional service!

I contacted Pury Erskine concerning a matter out of hours while overseas concerning an active matter. Upon contacting the firm I received an immediate call back and arrangement for a conference at very short notice.

The lead practitioner Ian was very professional and offered an outstanding strategy that left me feeling confident I made the very best choice.

Ian was proactive and persistent and was in constant contact with me to let me know the progress of the action plan.

The result was far beyond what I had expected and Ian and his team provided an exceptional service that fundamentally saved my livelihood, my career and my reputation.

Thank you Ian and Pury Erskine for everything you have done and being there during a very dark period of my life, and playing such a pivotal role in attaining a fantastic result on my behalf! Outstanding service!

A truly professional service

I am extremely impressed with the service I received today from Ian Graham of Pure Erskine Ltd. I was looking for a specialist solicitor and as there was nobody doing this type of work in our town I had to trawl the internet, in trepidation, to find help.
My intention was to discuss the fee straight away because usually now the first thing people ask for are your credit card details. However Ian started by asking about the case details and then offered excellent advice which I think will resolve the matter.
He is incredibly knowledgeable and because he specialises in a particular area he was able to give a clear guidance.
When I asked about payment he refused and just said to call back if any other issues arose.
I only wish this firm had a branch in our town for when we need a solicitor in future.

Professional and approachable

We contacted Ian in November regarding a potential case. We were very impressed that Ian arranged a video call the day after we first made contact, he was very professional and thorough and ensured he had all the details of the case. Lauren who works with Ian worked tirelessly on the case to achieve a successful resolution. Her attention to detail and regular updates were very reassuring. We thank Ian and Lauren for all their hard work, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Couldn't Recommend Ian More

I couldn't appreciate what Ian has done for me more. From the moment I contacted him he went out of his way to ensure I felt well supported and he listened with a keen ear to ensure he had all the facts. The case was baseless and unfairly drawn out for far longer than it should have been and Ian pushed for my rights until the case was resolved. He not only supported me as Solicitor but understood the stress and anxiety I was going through and was always available to reassure me of his moves and progress.
I would recommend this man to anyone in a heartbeat and now consider him a friend of this 76 year old

We contacted Ian at the last minute to help resolve a court summons for an unpaid fine. He was straight on the case and took calls with us at the weekend to get things resolved as soon as possible. We thought we’d left it too late but with hard work from Ian and his team the matter was resolved quickly and with great results! Thank you Ian.

First Class Service - Always there for us

When recently a false and malicious allegation was made against me, mine and my family's lives fell apart - we were traumatised and confused. We made contact with Ian Graham and he called us back immediately. From this first phone call, we felt reassured that he would deal sensitively and professionally with anything thrown our way. We were always kept fully in the loop with clear explanations given and sound advice. He was able to hold the police to account to prevent matters progressing. We will be forever grateful and so pleased that we found him. His aftercare has also been second to none.

Early Engagement leads to better outcomes.

The minute I made contact with Pury Erskine, I was allocated the Lead Practitioner who took his time to listen to the situation and my perspective to arrive at an absolutely clear formulation. The periodic communication and feedback was helpful coupled with the honest discussions of my options were remarkable although it can at times feel difficult to hear. It was simply a challenging time for me and my dependants as my career and livelihood was at stake.
Pury Erskine's knowledge, expertise and experience combined with early engagement seems to have contributed to a desirable positive outcome and I recommend the firm.

Outstanding representation

I found myself in a very serious predicament but, naively, had not thought legal representation would be necessary.
I contacted Pury Erskine very late in the process (out of hours) and Ian took my call there and then.
From the beginning, his knowledge and expertise was impressive and reassuring. He was empathetic but direct; no false promises and always providing a very clear picture in terms of all potential outcomes.
I could not believe how swiftly Ian took action and how quickly he resolved matters on my behalf.
The outcome was excellent and beyond what I had hoped for.
I would absolutely recommend Ian and Pury Erskine to anybody who requires legal representation; you are in the safest of hands.
