I was wrongly accused, arrested and investigated for a grievous crime. After thoroughly researching pre charge engagement it became clear to me that Olliers Solicitors would be my best choice. I sent them an email and received a callback that same night during which they explained the process and took my initial instructions. My case was assigned to Anne-Marie who has worked extensively for both the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and in defence. Given that the CPS is responsible for deciding whether cases proceed to charge or receive a No Further Action (NFA) outcome, her deep expertise in this area proved invaluable and gave me tremendous confidence throughout the process. Furthermore, Anne-Marie’s genuine ability to listen attentively, show real empathy and understanding, and explain complex matters in a clear, friendly, and approachable way made me feel genuinely supported, comfortable, and well-informed at every step. Even when away from the office or over the Christmas holidays, Anne-Marie was always quick to respond to my messages and calls. My case ended in No Further Action (NFA) without the need for CPS involvement, much quicker than expected due to the involvement of Olliers Solicitors. Many thanks to Olliers Solicitors and Anne-Marie.
Olliers were great from the very beginning. I was able to speak with someone within a couple of hours of contacting them on a Sunday afternoon. I was assigned Jack who was professional, helpful, and reassuring throughout the entire process. I’d highly recommend them to anyone that needs legal advice.
Helen Buxton was amazing from the very start. Her reviews of past and recent success cases read for themselves. Helen’s approach was fast, caring, and understanding, and nothing was ever too much trouble. I could ring her at any time and always felt supported. She explained each step of the process and she will put you at ease when you are at your most vulnerable. Helen is a real asset to the company, and it’s easy to see why the firm has won so many awards when they have someone of her calibre working for them. She is polite, professional, evidently experienced, kind and one of the most important things for me is she was genuinely caring and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I would highly recommend Helen Buxton — truly the best.
I cannot recommend Olliers Solicitors highly enough. They supported me through a very stressful DBS process and achieved an outcome that has allowed me to continue my career without being banned. From the very beginning, George Odysseos truly listened to me and took the time to fully understand my perspective on what had happened. He was extremely thorough and made sure every detail was accurate before submitting anything. I was given the opportunity to review and make as many changes as I needed to the letter of representation, which made me feel reassured and involved throughout the entire process. George consistently gave me clear and honest professional advice whenever I asked and showed a genuine understanding of how much was at stake for me, especially as a nursing student. He recognised how devastating a ban would have been for my future and handled my case with great care, attention, and compassion. I felt genuinely supported throughout what was a very difficult time, and I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and professionalism shown. Choosing Olliers Solicitors and having George as my caseworker was the best decision I could have made. Thanks to his hard work, I am able to continue chasing my dreams.
From start to finish, everyone at Olliers Solicitors was absolutely outstanding. The firm was professional, reassuring, and supportive throughout, which made what could have been a very stressful period far easier to navigate. I would like to give a special thank you to Maria Douglas, David Philpott, and in particular Austin Anderson-Brettell, who I worked with most closely. Austin handled my representations and guided me through the process from beginning to end, keeping me fully informed at every stage and ensuring everything was handled with care, clarity, and attention to detail. Both David and Austin attended court with me, and they were exceptionally thorough, calm, and professional throughout. Their presence was genuinely reassuring, and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and understood everything that was happening. The follow-up and support afterwards was just as impressive, and I never once felt like I was left in the dark. The turnaround time and quality of work produced in such a short timeframe were excellent, and everything that was initially discussed was delivered as promised. I felt very well represented and supported throughout. I am extremely grateful to the entire team for their professionalism, dedication, and care. I would not hesitate to recommend Olliers Solicitors to anyone looking for a firm that is thorough, reliable, and truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.
