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.

Thank you Will
Will was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. From taking me through the different steps thoroughly and being very clear with me all the way (particularly for someone that had not needed legal advice before), his guidance and support was hugely appreciated. Will represented me in court, and for someone that had not set foot in a court room before and for someone that suffers with anxiety, it was very reassuring having him there. The outcome was very positive and I can not thank him enough for everything he did. I would recommend him to anyone that is seeking legal advice or representation. I also appreciated the whatsapp over email communication style - I felt like this created an informality that made the situation feel less severe. He is very personal, kind and empathetic which made me put my trust in him completely, and I appreciated his patience with all my questions. Overall, I couldn’t have done it without him!

Exceptional Representation
I cannot express enough gratitude towards the outstanding legal services I have had with my representation at the firm with my case now resolved.
Over the course of my experience, I have had complete confidence in Will, Archie and everybody else involved in the case. I can assure you that with this firm, you will be in capable hands.
Will is a true advocate for his clients, taking the time to understand every aspect of the case, having a consideration of all options and ensuring that I was well informed every step of the way. He demonstrated patience, professionalism and most of all compassion towards me. In what has been a truly difficult chapter of my life, Will has provided invaluable support and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.
From the moment I met Archie, I was impressed by his expertise and coherence through his explanations of the case. You can tell that Archie has a passion and dedication for a deep understanding of law, leaving no stone unturned when conducting his case assessment. Once again, I could not recommend Archie enough.
Thank you to everyone at the firm, I will be forever grateful for what you have done for me. I was never once made to feel insignificant and can only attest that 'every client matters' based on my own experience. To Will and Archie, thank you once again.
