I thank for ricardo

I've known Ricardo for years and he has always been honest, polite and very informative . On this case in particular when brought to Ricardo he reviewed my case n told me we will fight this case till the end and most likely we will get It thrown out but there is still the possibility of a conviction due to me basically caught red handed . With riccardos experties in the field of drug cases he put I'm reviews and motions into court and to the prosecution to get my case thrown out after years of stress and uncertainty. Riccardo has done great and I can't thank him enough I would recommend him to anyone I know

Best criminal barrister in the town

I've had the pleasure of knowing Riccardo Pagano personally, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding criminal barrister. His legal expertise, dedication, and professionalism are unmatched.
Riccardo's approach made me feel very supported and confident throughout the process. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a skilled and reliable criminal lawyer.

I recently had a one-hour consultation with Hill Twine Solicitors, and while the session was extremely helpful, my experience afterward has left me in a state of confusion. The solicitor provided valuable advice, which made me feel reassured. However, after an incident occurred that should not have happened based on that guidance, I found myself needing further assistance.

Despite reaching out multiple times over the course of three months, I only received vague assurances from the secretary and assistant that my information would be passed along. Unfortunately, I never heard back from the solicitor directly. This lack of follow-up has been incredibly frustrating, especially given the nature of the situation.

While I appreciated the initial consultation, the subsequent silence has made me question whether I should seek help elsewhere. Clear communication is crucial in legal matters, and I hope Hill Twine Solicitors can improve in this area for future clients.
