Barker & Copeman

Had Rebecca twice now, both times above and beyond getting results neither of us expected. She actually stays with you from cells to courts which makes the process so much less stressful and easier than Chinese whispers thru several duty solicitors. Would recommend

We had Richard Drew represent our son for an offence that has just been concluded after nearly 2 years of waiting for court dates etc. My son was assigned legal representation with Barker & Copeman Legal aid whilst he was in custody. I believe Richard genuinely cares to do his best for his clients. I have met solicitors in the past who are up their own arses and speak down to you in a condescending tone. Richard talks in plain English, cuts through the legal bullshit and calls a spade a spade, which as mear mortals is all we want. Over the time between hearings, my wife had many conversations with Richard about the case. If he was un-available he always called back, sometimes out of hours in his own family time and always went above and beyond to come back with answers. On the final day of my sons sentencing he came in on his birthday which he was due to be off for to see the case through. I don`t think you can say fairer than that If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself needing legal aid then if you are being represented by Richard, then I think you won`t go far wrong as I do believe he is a top bloke do what alot of the time is a thankless task.

even though both his solicitor and barrister was in the court building, no one attended the court room to represent my son
