The only legal representatives that I could recommend.
I have been involved in criminal and civil cases where Jane Anderson and Hannah Johnson have advised and represented my clients. The service in all cases has been professional, competent and has resulted favourable (in some cases, amazing) outcomes.
I have had experience of barristers, lawyers and solicitors from other firms in the past who were ill prepared and did not help. The UK law system is as fair as possible but court hearings are so, so important. Having the best possible representation is essential and I find that Woodfines LLP is the only firm that I could recommend.

Always On The Ball!
I didn't know what to expect, but Jane Anderson showed a very genuine interest, was completely, even "forensically" aware of all aspects of the case, spotting facts and drawing inferences that I had missed.
I can say, without exaggeration, that I have total confidence in her. In the unfortunate event that I should need a criminal lawyer again, I would not even consider anyone else.
All that and she is a good egg too!

Debbie is fantastic and so helpful!
I have always had great experiences with Woodfines, whether it be Jane Anderson in the Magistrates Court, David Webster as Conveyancer, John Leadbeater in Family Court where I worked once or the new Cambridge recruit, Tom Hale, who so patiently produced my Will, after many queries from me, poor man! However, Debbie surpasses them all for charm, efficiency, quick responses, humour, kindness and politeness. Nothing is too much for her and that personal touch really does make a huge difference, especially during these testing times, when Woodfines are undoubtedly very busy with Wills, now conveyancing etc!
Thank you so much Debbie for your unfailing support and cheeriness! You are a credit to the firm and I trust you are remunerated correspondingly!
I warmly recommend Woodfines in Milton Keynes, Cambridge and Bedford to all!
Maggie Constable, a very satisfied and reassured customer! In

Most professional
I found Jane Anderson to be most professional and very down to earth. Her advice was most helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others who found themselves in a similar situation to that in which I found myself.
