Handling my case with professionalism and exceptional in DBS cases. He made me feel valued and was very supportive all through the process making sure we achieved a positive result and a favourable outcome on the case. I highly recommend Richard Nelson and particularly Mark Hopwell with no reservations and to anyone seeking similar circumstances.

What I thought was my darkest hour

In what felt like my darkest hour Steve was able to explain and normalise everything and give comfort, reassurance and confidence to help me realise that things were not dark at all. He handled everything impeccably and I can't thank him enough. I'm pleased to be able to get on with my career with a clear conscience.

A client

When you are being prosecuted you need to hire someone who knows the law well enough to represent you so that you don't get hit even harder that you deserve.
It happens all the time, the (throwing the book at you method). The book hurts.
The police and CPS like to escalate charges.
If you don't have a representative who knows what might happen.
I had a solicitor from another firm before, same case. His representation was discontinued and I hired a lady from Richard Nelson LLP.
She made sure the law remained honest, I was given a consequence that matched my offence not a hugely escalated sentence that would have been unfair.
She knows things like what sentencing guidelines the court are empowered with and made a point to the court that they accepted which otherwise would have left me in a position where I would no doubt have been prosecuted again in future.
Eve Paterson skillfully negotiated the safe zone between there should be a consequence and escalated charges to make it sound worse than it was.
In my very humble opinion,if you are going into a courtroom without her good luck.
But if I had a choice I would use Richard Nelson.
Eve if possible.

Latoya has been instrumental that the Police discarded the consideration to add disclosure to my DBS status. She was willing to listen to my needs and after checking my documents assured me that it can be done. She highlighted certain evidence which I did not know was important till then. Most importantly Latoya was open to suggestions and adapted as necessary and firm on certain other points that she said was important. Highly recommended.

Mark was my solicitor and he was diligent, patient, and compassionate in handling my case. I was nervous about the process but he put me at ease as he was friendly and approachable but still professional.
His communication was clear and concise. He explained the process thoroughly and responded to any questions I had quickly and in a way I would understand. I am really happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Mark and Richard Nelson's to anyone.

Victoria Rees was great in her diligence in helping me to provide what was needed for the process when all my instincts kept moving towards much too personal reflections. She bore with me when I would think of something which I thought was important and immediately include it in an email. This made her life more difficult in processing all the information I was giving her. She pushed me to be more remorseful in my reflections when I would hold back because of shame. Thank you Victoria for the time and energy you took in knocking me into shape.

I was very impressed by the proffessional and friendly service I received at all times. Communication was always prompt and clear and I felt totally satisfied that I was in "good hands". It was also very refreshing to receive a fixed price for the legal services I received right at the beginning. I would highly reccemmend this company to others.
