I can’t thank Nicola enough for her exceptional support and expertise during a challenging time. From the outset, she emphasised the value of pre-charge engagement, a step that I found invaluable in reducing the stress and suffering that can so easily escalate in these situations. Her guidance and proactive approach provided peace of mind when I needed it most, helping to manage issues before they became overwhelming.
If you’re considering your options, I highly recommend opting for a fixed-fee package. While it might seem like a significant expense upfront, the toll that prolonged uncertainty takes on your mental well-being and overall health far outweighs the costs involved. Nicola’s fees are both fair and affordable, reflecting the real value of her expertise in a system where justice can be costly. In today’s climate, where scrutiny is heightened and the risk of charges is ever-present, investing in early, effective support isn’t something to hesitate over. With Nicola by your side, you’re not just paying for a service, you’re investing in your peace of mind and the best possible outcome for your future

Maria was very helpful in getting an arrest removed from my PCN record. Using information I provided about the situation, Maria put forward a strong case for arrest record deletion. Maria was re-assuring and understanding, which helped put me at ease throughout the process.

After having one interview with a local solicitor who then never contacted me and left me with no way to contact them, I was directed towards Olliers. I had an immediate interview and was offered help for my case. I could contact Anne-Marie at any hour and she would reply to me reassuringly. Laura assisted me on a court date with a willingness and knowledge of the area well. I couldn't recommend them anymore, especially for the help they provided me during such a difficult time.

After taking on a local solicitor and him turning up late for the interview I googled Olliers and got in contact with them after reading there reviews. From the initial phone call I felt so much better. We had a face to face with Ann Marie and everything was so great from start to finish. We were kept updated by phone calls and emails throughout the case. I really can't thank Olliers and Ann Marie Nicholls enough. 5***** from me

In the midst of an ongoing legal battle, Nicola Bruce from Olliers has been my unwavering support. As my case continues, her proactive approach and empathetic counsel have been crucial. Grateful for her dedication, I'm navigating false accusations with confidence, knowing I'm in capable hands. For anyone facing pre-charge issues, I strongly recommend Olliers, particularly Nicola. Despite the ongoing nature of my case, her expertise provides assurance and guidance through the complexities. This journey is ongoing, but with Nicola on my side, I am steadfast in my pursuit of justice.

I had previously been to another criminal solicitor who had told me there would most likely be a charge for my case. I was worried about the potential impact of this on my career, so I did my research and found out about Olliers Solicitors and pre-charge engagement.
Nicola was assigned to my case and she did an amazing job with my pre-charge engagement. Case was closed with no further action. I would give 6 stars if I could.
A representative from Olliers Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 10 October, 2023:
Hi Muyiwa, thank you for this fantastic 5 star review for Nicola. We're delighted that our pro-active approach resulted in a no further action outcome. Kind regards, Olliers Solicitors

The news a case was being made against me was totally out of nowhere and not something I could have ever imagined. Being that I had not had interactions with the police I found myself in the unsure situation of relying on my assigned solicitor which at first I was not comfortable with. This being said they worked fast to reassure me with the best ways to approach the case which gave me confidence in their ability. As time passed I was regularly kept up to date with the progress and developments and always felt prepared for whatever may come next. We had a favourable result after what seemed like an eternity. I will always remember the Olliers team as a whole and how professionally they applied themselves and supported my case. Thank you x 10,000.

I cannot praise Olliers enough for the help and assistance they give me during my legal predicament. From the initial call through to the final hearing, they were constantly providing advise, direction and sometimes even just an ear to bend.
Extremely informal, no graces and an absolute pleasure to deal with. A great outcome achieved in the circumstances.
I will never be able to thank you Kate & Hannah. enough

I was invited to a police station for a voluntary interview.
I requested a duty solicitor as I had never in my life been called for an interview under caution.
Jack Tomlinson was allocated to talk me through what the procedure would be in the interview and asked me to explain why I had been invited in.
He put me at ease and advised me what could happen and accompanied me throughout the interview.

Can’t recommend Olliers enough. George Odysseos in particular helped me in a really trying time. He is a specialist in DBS cases and from the start gave me advice and support. I had reached out to other solicitors and didn’twas getting much action. From our first phone call George explained what was required, game my case time and attention asked important questions. He Informed me what to mention and include and in a short timeframe helped me create a response letter.

I was going through a very stressful and challenging time on a pre-charge case. After reading the excellent reviews on Olliers solicitors I have decided to contact them for help.
After sending an enquiry email I had an immediate phone call from Saskia Abbot and she explained the nature of my case ,the pre-charge engagement representation to achieve the best possible result.
I am a law abiding citizen and have never been in trouble with the police in my whole life. After receiving a pre-charge notice from the police I was very scared and extremely worried the possible life changing impact on myself and my family.
Saskia has communicated clearly and effectively to me regarding the pre-charge representation and admission in dealing with my case. She has also explained the seriousness and difficulties in my case, but she took her time and fought relentlessly to achieve the
best possible result for me.
After six months of suffering mental health issues and very stressful time, my pre-charge case was subsequently dropped.
I felt like a massive rock has been lifted off my shoulders and was very very relieved that it has finally come to an end.
I could not thank Saskia enough for her expertise and professionalism in dealing with my case, I am sure if it wasn’t for her the outcome would be unimaginable.
I would recommend Saskia of Olliers to anyone and don’t hesitate to contact her for assistance.
