Professional, compassionate, and determined
These past year has been the worst of my life, having been alleged of something I never meant to happen. GT Stewart was not the first firm to represent me, and until instructing them, I have been bouncing from one firm to another in the hope to find someone capable of representing and supporting me through the process without luck. However, Will Russel, Kevin Williams, and Archie Manby (the external barrister instructed by Kevin and Will to deal with my case in court), have been exceptional, being able to collect the information they needed from me despite the tension and stress that my partner, family, and I are going through. Kevin and will have been very available, addressing all our questions and concerns as much as they could, while Archie has been able to present the facts professionally and in a detailed manner in court, resulting in a positive outcome. While I hope not to need their services again in my life, my case might still not be concluded, and if anything else would arise, I would certainly refer back to them. If I knew someone was going through something similar to what I am going through, I would recommend GT Stewart.

mr kevin williams and mr Manby my solicitor and barrister very nice .
mr kevin williams was nice and professional with me and once realising my difficulties including financial issues he bought me lunch at court from his own pocket which he didn't have to do so much appreciation for the care and consideration, also put up with my out of hours tantrums and messages due to my mental health issues he was tolerant with me i think . Thanks good outcome suspended sentence!

Helpful and supportive service
My son was charged with an offence and GT Stewart were the duty solicitor assigned and have supported us through the process. Kevin Williams, the lead case officer has been responsive to all of our questions, providing clear and helpful advice and support, and the array of other colleagues we have dealt with (representing our son at court and supporting Kevin) has been professional and courteous. I hope not to have to need the services of GT Stewart in similar services, but will certainly recommend them to any that might need support.

Autistic/Neurodiversity/Mental Health/Disabled/Vulnerable Adults
We are profoundly grateful for our lawyer, Kevin Williams, at GT Stewart, who has been a consistent rock during these difficult and complex few years.
What initially drew me to Kevin was his experience with people with personality disorders, and it’s now safe to say his and the firm's experience with neurodiversity and Asperger’s autism.
Despite our incredibly complex case and extreme vulnerabilities, Kevin did not shy away from the challenges and worked gently alongside my brother’s disabilities.
When you also look at the unfortunate lack of understanding of mental health and autism within the system, I can wholeheartedly say that we were lucky to be clients of such an incredibly hardworking and caring lawyer.
As the family member of a disabled, vulnerable with complex needs and the fact that reasonable adjustments have to be made for such people but are often not, we could not have managed without Kevin and the firm.
Kevin is a compassionate lawyer who stays calm and manages all aspects of mental health and neurodiversity, and he is tactile in treating capacity issues. exceptionally well.
Many lawyers do not go the extra mile, but Kevin was dedicated. I am convinced that Kevin will continue to stand up for the rights of such people, and I hope that more will follow in his footsteps and be rewarded and recognised for their essential work, awareness, and fight for justice.
Kind regards
University Cambridge researchers:
"Our research shows quite clearly that autistic adults are not receiving fair treatment within the criminal justice system. Without reasonable adjustments or support, this could place them at a significant disadvantage.”
Rachel Slavny-Cross
This comes on the back of an Equality and Human Rights Commission report in June 2020 that warned that the CJS is failing those with learning disabilities and autistic people. However, there is almost no research investigating how autistic defendants are being treated within the CJS.
A research team member, Carrie Allison said: “It’s vital that juniors are provided with information about a defendant’s autism and its implications. Otherwise, they are likely to misinterpret the atypical behaviour exhibited by the defendant in court. Similarly, judges may fail to consider mitigating factors that might otherwise influence sentencing.”
The study found that lawyers were more likely to be concerned that their autistic clients would engage in self-harm behaviours, compared with their non-autistic clients, and were more likely to report that their autistic clients experienced meltdowns as a result of their involvement in the CJS.
Dr. Sarah Griffiths, another member of the research team, said: “Autistic adults are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems, such as stress and heightened anxiety, with many autistic people experiencing meltdown and shutdown as a result. This will likely have shaped their interactions with the criminal justice system and their ability to cope with the stress of being subject to criminal proceedings.”
Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, Director of the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge and a research team member, added: “There’s an urgent need across the criminal justice system for increased awareness about autism. The police, lawyers, judges, and jurors should be given mandatory training to be aware of how autism affects an individual’s behaviour so that autistic defendants are treated fairly within the criminal justice system.”
