Professional and Knowledgeable
I found these Solicitors to be professional and knowledgeable, and honest from the start and throughout.
Even with the complications of my case, and (perhaps) dealing with me, they have remained courteous, helpful, polite, engaging and positive.
I couldn't have asked for more.
I'm not wishing to jump into another legal dance off, but Jordans Solicitors are at the top of my list if it happens (Although I don't know what a legal dance off is...)

Tower of legal knowledge
Mr Newby and his team (even telephonists) have all massively helped me at times of sheer despair and have helped me get through my very lengthy sentence. Despite and uphill struggle and in the face of adversity Mr Newby has believed in me where and when perhaps other lesser persons of integrity may have given up and Mr Newby has built up my appeal which is close to being settled in the High Court!
Brilliant Mr Newby is a Tower of legal knowledge, I call him "THE EQUALIZER!". He is passionate about Justice & Injustice and he gets the job done satisfaction guaranteed.

Appeal Against Conviction
Unlike my original Crown Court trial Solicitors, Jordans Solicitors went the extra mile to obtain my original trial papers from the Crown Prosecution Service, as I did not posses a copy after nearly two decades has lapsed since my trial and conviction.
Although the conclusion to this process was not what I'd hoped for, I sincerely give big thanks to Jordans Solicitors for all their efforts in considering my case for an appeal.
