“Was arrested and held in police station.

Asked for a solicitor and a solicitor from JSP called Alex arrived. I thought the best thing to do would be to take the advice given and follow his instructions. Little did I know at the time that would turn out to be one of the worst decisions of my life. Long story short I'm now free again to live my life after going through hell for the last couple of years. All they wanted to do was prolong my case to extract as much from the legal aid fund as they possibly could. If on the first interview I would of gave my side of the story in interview the matter could of been dealt with by way of a warning /caution/community resolution ( I've only recently found this out) Alex never told me this may of been an option at the time. Ive turned my life around since those dark days but should I ever find myself in a police cell again I won't be asking JSP for any advice to get me out of there because clearly they are only in it for the money. Thanks for nothing 👎👎

“Waited 3 weeks to be told they can’t help me and canceled 3 appointments DO NOT use find someone who cares and has time to speak to you”

“My partner was appointed a solicitor called Alex at the beginning of his case, who seemed decent but was shortly given a different solicitor, George.

My partner told me several times he was having difficulty getting hold of him and felt like he was being kept in the dark about a lot of things relating to his case, right up until the sentencing, where he was told things on the day he definitely should've been informed of much earlier. They failed my partner massively and he is now in prison. I can't help but feel like as this was a legal aid case, they don't put much effort into it. You're playing with people's lives because you can't be bothered to answer the phone or send an email. Having spoken to people about this firm, it's clear they work with the police to secure convictions. Unless you want to go to prison, DO NOT use them. I will be taking this further.

“Been my solicitor since young always had the same always been loyal since day won and beat me a few cases happy Christmas to the team this year and…

many more to be 👌👌💯🤣

“READ THIS CAREFULLY.

We were given george as our solicitor, unfortunately he very rarely answered our messages, when you have a family member on remand and your messages are ignored it is very frustrating. I myself contacted the court on numerous occasions as George wasn't reliable to do this . I was the person who had to phone the court to get my family member a court date otherwise he would still be held on remand. I messaged george and gave him the date and time for him and the barrister to attend court and he didn't even acknowledge my message. I complained to jsp twice but still George did not change his attitude and ignored our calls. The 3rd time i complained he was taken off the case and we were given Zoe as our solicitor, believe me it was a breath of fresh air. Zoe was excellent in giving us the information and advice we needed , contacting the prison , the courts , it made our lives so much easier. The company are only as good as the person you deal with . So if i had Zoe from the beginning it would be 5 stars .. Thanks Zoe.
