    After my husbands trial and subsequent NG verdict, please may I wholeheartedly recommend both our solicitor and barrister.

    Our solicitor was Sharon Waggott of Sussex Defence Solicitors - she was understanding, professional and was always at the end of the phone or email to answer our (many!) frantic questions. She was particularly good to me during the year-long wait for trial, and undoubtedly made a very difficult time in our lives that little bit easier.

    Our barrister (and all-time hero!) is William England of Carmelite Chambers. Tells it like it is, only does defence, and only takes on legal aid cases. He is in the top 100 in the country and I can see why! He was absolutely fantastic the whole way through, really cannot put into words how much I would recommend him - he works very closely with the solicitors mentioned above, so I would highly recommend both of these people for anyone in the South/South East area.

      If you do decide to instruct Attridges please make sure you actually instruct Gerry McDonald and avoid the Lavender Hill branch. I have just had an email that suggests that the Lavender Hill branch does not provide the same excellent service. Please do not confuse the two branches.

        I note that he has not updated his notable cases as W&C's not guilty verdicts and others are not on the list, neither are the NFA’s I know about. I have reminded him to update the list!

          High Recommendations.

          I highly recommend Gerry McDonald at EBR Solicitors. Having a false allegation made against you is horrendous and nothing in life can prepare you the horror it brings. Gerry was very understanding and advised me through the weeks leading up to my NFA.

            Possible Solicitor

            I'd like to begin by saying how much I feel for you.
            My husband was found not guilty of a false allegation of rape this month and we have endured 15 months of hell. If you ever need support, we'll be right here.

            My husband and I are teachers,and because he worked for N Yorks LA when the accusation was made, his union put us on to a solicitor in York. I realise this is not precisely where you were asking for but they have been amazing. The firm is called LTS and you can contact them here: http://www.ltsolicitors.org.uk/LATHAM_TANIKAL/Home.html

            They got us an excellent barrister and the case was heard in Leeds.

            Hope this helps.

            All my hope and faith is with you.

              EBR attridge are simply the best at this kind of stuff

              Gerry is amazing, but they also have some other brilliant ppl

              Rizvan Anwar at their main office in Central London is one of the best lawyers at anything.

              Get in touch with them directly through emails i think, they always reply really fast.

              rizvananwar@ebrattridge.com

              or

              gerrymcdonald@ebrattridge.com

              gerry is good at stranger rape things
              rizvan is top at marital and relationship stuff

              outside london, i heard carter moore are very good. but most big firms can travel anywhere, so ebr are my recomendation

                Was that referral directed at me and if so will Rizvan Anwar be public aided? I'm still looking in the Manchester area but its good to hear of actual solicitors that has represented someone on here rather than doing an blind pick.

                Regards,

                Ghost....B
                Hey Ghost,

                i mentioned the National travelling thing, because Rizvan helped someone I know in Leeds, as well as someone else ( on a non-rape thing ) in Manchester. Check his profile on his firms website and you will see. He doesn't advertise the sex cases, but I know he is a top dog. Gerry is also really good.

                You can see from all the feedback here, EBR are highely rated briefs.

                Good luck mate be lucky

                  GB, i can't help you there mate, i really don't know.
                  Why not give them a call or email ? i am sure they can help answer your questions

                  I done a google search and Carter Moore are in Manchester, so maybe a better choice for your location ?

                  I would mail or call a few people and see who you are comfrtable to talk with, thats really important, get a feel for a lawyer you can talk to mate.

                  Try both, an make your own choice

                  best of luck bud

                    Ring one of the nationals like EBR Attridge, Carter Moore, Challinors, BCL etc, they can cover any area and do have specialist teams that can help

                          Mark Newby, Doncaster

                          Hi,

                          Anyone used Mark Newby or Jordan's in Doncaster?
                          http://www.qualitysolicitors.com/jor...ple/mark-newby

                          He works closely with barrister Mark Barlow
                          http://www.gcnchambers.co.uk/barristers/barlow

                          They are both advisers to FACT and specialise in historic cases but surely they would also be more than competent in current cases of rape due to getting many convictions quashed etc.

                          Thanks

                              I cannot recommend the solicitor my husband used as he was useless. But I totally recommend his barrister. Her name is Abigail Nixon and she works for the Citadel Chambers, Birmingham.
                              She represented my husband at Hereford Crown Court and Worcester Crown court. It is thanks to her that the judge threw the case out on the third day of the trial, without my husband even taking the stand. We owe her everything! Google her, and maybe she could recommend a good solicitor, I dont know if that is the done thing, though. When we were looking for a good solicitor specialising in sex offence cases, in our area, we could not find one, but luckily it did not matter that the one we had was no good, in the end. He was on legal aid

                                The solicitor to avoid is Barry Newton at Kieran and Sons, Worcester. Not saying all the sols from there are bad, but he was useless
