Expensive waste of time. Fruitless advice that 4 year old would have known was illogical. When I complained they just closed ranks and brushed it under the carpet. Avoid at all costs. Stay away... See more

Gerry Heap

Gerry Heap prepared a written Advice on liability and quantum which very much helped getting a tricky case settled. He was was on hand to speak about the case both before and after his Advice and was, as always, very attentive and clear.

Sandra Murgatroyd

Before the hearing we communicated with Counsel and she was very helpful and concise when replying to our client's queries and concerns. Our client also informed us that the Counsel was brilliant and very professional at the hearing and put him at ease by explaining her strategy and the possible outcome of the case in simple terms before the Hearing commenced. The service and prompt communication provided by the clerks at Chambers was also great.

Mr Tahir Ashraf, A Proficient Barrister

Clerksroom was able to get me a very proficient barrister in record time named Mr Tahir Ashraf , even though, the instruction came too close to the hearing date.

Tahir is a knowledgeable counsel who is quite broad in his understanding of the law, practice procedure and open to exploring new thinking in litigation. In addition, Tahir takes passion in his work and was able to rustle up a fantastic legal position within minutes that got my client out of a legal pickle. He is also nice and put a human face to the tedious work of a barrister.

I highly recommend him and will be instructing him in future brief

Simon Bell - local planning

Simon Bell acted for our local conservation group in relation to a long-running and difficult planning issue. He worked very hard to provide us with clear, sensible and practical guidance throughout and successfully advocated on our behalf at the planning inquiry.

Another Great Job

I instructed Wendy Banks to deal with a disposal hearing where for many reasons, the job was never going to be easy. As always the AI and clerks found somebody more than suitable. Wendy did a great job, kept me informed and advised. Strongly recommend Wendy Banks on the civil side of things.

William Knapman

We instructed William Knapman on an application to set judgment aside. He was extremely helpful, competent and gained the trust of the client; he also had particular attention to detail. A successful outcome and a happy client.

Joanne Phillipson - Counsel extraordinaire

We instructed Joanne Phillipson on a permission to Appeal/Appeal application in County Court at Leicester. She was amazing, going above and beyond with the preparation and her support of the instructing solicitor and achieving a very satisfactory result in Court too. We shall return to her again and again in future, thank you very much. Rich & Carr Solicitors

Mediation Nuisance and Boundary.

The issue was of nuisance and boundary.
This was a very bad experience for me a disabled elderly female.
The credited mediator was not properly prepared, set out on a path that one glove fits all and lost sight of what a mediator's role should be and as a direct result advanced an already bad situation to date and should and did not advise this matter was not suitable for mediation.
