Review of magistrates' court case on 15th April 2024

5

Whilst the experience was not a pleasant one, I was extremely grateful and very satisfied with both the professional, friendly and courteous advice from Simon. He was very concise both in his advice and the manner he gave it to me and I would have no hesitation in recommending both Simon and the firm to anyone else.
In relation to question about value for money later in this review, I cannot comment as I have no knowledge in this field.

Mr Simon Gretton was my son's Solicitor. We cannot speak highly enough of him. My son had the best outcome in both his cases, and as a result is able to continue with his career and direction in life. We will be forever grateful for Mr Gretton's experience in handling both cases and will be recommending him to whoever will listen!!

I have had Simon represent me on two occasions and both times he has been excellent. He gave fantastic advice and his support to me and my family has been invaluable.
