Would highly recommend

I first got in touch with Foster and Coleman Solicitors in 2022 for support with a civil case, and they went on to assist me with a related criminal case in which I was the victim. From the very beginning, Paul Coleman and Tom Walsh were incredibly approachable, professional, and understanding.

They supported both me and my daughter throughout the entire process, making us feel safe, informed, and genuinely cared for. Their strategy was clear and reassuring, and they were with us every step of the way. What stood out most was how personable they were – a refreshing change from my past experiences with other law firms where I often felt like just another case.


I would highly recommend Foster and Coleman to anyone in need of legal support. A special and sincere thank you to Paul Coleman and Tom Walsh – your guidance made a difficult time much more bearable.

Foster and Coleman Ltd

These solicitors are fantastic, the best I’ve ever engaged. Not only incredibly knowledgeable but able to apply their expertise to maximum effect and brilliant strategists. They guided me expertly through areas I was unfamiliar with. They never put a foot wrong. I would recommend them to anyone lucky enough to receive their services.

A steadfast partner and fine advocate !!

I am so very grateful to have had Steve Foster guiding, advising and representing me during what has been a very stressful three months for me
Mine was a motoring offence and working with Steve was very smooth-running from the initial contact and first meeting I had with him.
Steve was very pragmatic and supportive throughout our time together and kept me well informed from initial instruction and in terms of the preparation, requirements from me and progress of the case.
Steve also reassured me on many occasions with any concerns and worries that I had.
Steve displayed a high level of professionalism throughout our conversations, and I felt very comfortable speaking to him around the charge I was answering.
Although I hope I will not be needing Steve’s services again, if I ever come across anyone that is in need of assistance similar to myself, I will be more than happy to refer them to yourself with great confidence

Phenomenal 5*

Steve came highly recommended to me by a Clerk at 3PB Chambers. It was my Dad that required legal representation and given my job, I wanted to find him the best legal team I could. Having had an initial conversation with Steve, I passed his details to my Dad. Steve was subsequently instructed as was Barrister, Berenice Mulvanny. All I can say, is what a duo!
Steve was brilliant throughout both with my Dad and also myself (even though I was not his client). Steve was very responsive, always positive and extremely helpful. When instructing agents and counsel for something of such importance, it is imperative that you get the right representation and you can have faith/trust in your legal team. Faith/trust does not always get the right outcome but knowing that you have had the best support and a Solicitor who gives you their all, is all you could ask for. Thankfully, the result was the only result we could have hoped for and my Dad was found not guilty. This was no mean feet, Steve and Counsel had to work extremely hard in a matter that had spanned decades with the legal fight coming to a head over the last six years.
I cannot recommend Steve and Foster & Coleman enough. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of requiring legal representation. There are not enough adjectives to describe Steve who worked tirelessly with, and for my Dad, whilst still balancing his other caseload and personal matters.
'Thank you' does not seem to really cut it, but as a family, we will always be indebted to Steve. Not all Superheroes wear capes, some wear wigs and gowns!

Couldn’t have asked for better

An amazing solicitor, incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Guided me through every step with understanding and care, knowing every detail of my case better than I did. Thank you for providing service beyond my expectations to both you and my barrister!

Superb service

We were recommended S Foster to help our 18 year old son and pending court hearing. He had never been in trouble with the police and has a diagnosis of autism, ADHD and depression. His anxiety levels for months before the hearing were at an all time high. Steve Foster was absolutely amazing, professional and his communication was so down to earth, explaining everything to our son. We highly recommend Foster & Coleman Limited

Steve Foster

Steve Foster has been a send for me at the most crucial moment and time in my life. I would like to remember him as Steve Austin, the 6 million dollar man. If it wasn't for Steve, I would have got into a real trouble and probably would have lost my mind. He not only helped me professionally but he also helped on a personal level throughout knowing my vulnerability. I cannot thank him enough for his warmth, compassion and understanding. Steve is undoubtedly an experienced lawyer who has gone beyond and above his duty of care towards me. With my hand on heart I will recommend any one for his services.
