I am truly grateful for the fantastic result you have achieved.Defence solicitor, May 2021

I don’t write this email purely on the back of the result that was obtained yesterday. In fact I would have sent this very same email had the result been 6 or 8 years imprisonment. Mr Palmer immersed himself into hours of CCTV footage, statements, unused material and defence documents within only a matter of days and fully understood the case. He was then able to propose a viable alternative offence to the Crown, which, despite the opinions of co-accused Counsel, was accepted. All of this whilst giving meaningful and robust advice to the client so that the case could reach a resolution. As a Solicitor, Counsel’s engagement with me and my client is equally as important as what happens in the Court room and I am extremely grateful for Mr Palmer’s assistance with this case.
