I recently used Olliers and specifically Nathalie Potter for representation regarding some personal legal issues. Throughout the whole process Nathalie was professional, informative and empathetic. She understood my situation and used her experience, knowledge, skills and understanding to put forward an outstanding representation. The results of which meant the authorities found in my favour and it has truly been life changing. I cannot thank Nathalie and Olliers enough for their determination and faultless approach to my situation, ensuring not stone was left unturned. Thank you.

I contacted Olliers for help with my case based on the positive reviews I had read about the firm's work, starting from the critical but often overlooked pre-charge stage, and I think it was the best decision I made because they are as good, if not better than the reviews say they are. We worked with Laura Baumanis who was empathetic, knowledgeable about the law, available at a moment's notice 24/7, patient, happy to consider our view points and just an indefatigable fighter.

I am happy we had Laura in our corner. She made a lot of difference to the case and must be a credit to Olliers solicitors. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura and Olliers to anyone seeking proper legal representation in a matter like ours.

Olliers is a firm in which client support and proactivity are at the heart of their ethos. Our case was handled by Laura Baumanis, who has been fully supportive and dedicated since day one. She made herself available when ever we had questions and was able to clarify many unknowns which helped us cope through some stressful times. I would highly recommend Laura, and the Olliers team as they have an outstanding proactive approach to problems coupled with a friendly, knowledgeable team! Thank you for everything!

I am pleased to say she helped achieve a positive out come in my case which was complex and connected to a DBS issue.

Olliers were excellent over the past year. It was a very difficult year for me but being represented by Zita provided me with confidence and reassurance. Her expertise made all the difference to the outcome of my case. She was always easy to contact and extremely supportive. She went above and beyond throughout and really cares about her work and clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Zita and Olliers to anyone in need of legal representation.

I can't praise Helen Buxton enough, there were times when I was really struggling to cope but Helen constantly reassured me and was the comforting arm around me that I desperately needed. Helen's professionalism and very caring support helped to reduce the stress and anxiety that i was feeling and she gave me the confidence I needed to push on in what were extremely difficult and challenging times for me. She handled my case superbly throughout and kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to Helen I can now move forward with my life.

Olliers Solicitors have been by our side for 2 and half years. In very difficult circumstances, they have advised us, acted for us, reassured us. We worked mainly with Zita Spencer and also Matthew Claughton. Zita in particular became almost part of the family. She understood our concerns, always addressed them, always responded promptly and was proactive is helping us navigate our circumstances.

Her empathy and commitment to our case helped us to feel secure in the process. We felt like her only client: it was clear she cared about our situation. Zita and Matt's assertiveness on our behalf gave us confidence. With regards to the advice and assistance we received, it could not have been better. It was accurate, professional, considered, balanced. Financially, they listened to our needs and agreed a payment plan accordingly when possible. In every way, I could not recommend them more. We are deeply grateful for their assistance.

Although there were some issues with allocated solicitors changing, I had such a good experience with a trainee solicitor Hannah. She was attentive and kept us well informed throughout. Hannah took away a lot of the stress with her ongoing support and commitment to my son and gave me confidence that we would get a good outcome. Not only did she show she cared, her empathy gave us strength at such a difficult time. I would definitely recommend Olliers!

Can't praise Olliers (Nathalie Potter and Ruth Peters) enough. They patiently went through a mountain of information and located the relevant evidence that would help our case. Responses to our numerous questions were answered promptly and clearly. Even working at weekends and after "normal" hours to ensure that our case was submitted to DBS in good time. It was money well spent. thank you so much,

Alex quickly grasped the situation faced by our autistic son and brought a wealth of experience and skill in her appraisal. This was all managed in a very humane way and she represented him with tact and knowledge. We are very grateful to her as knowledge of autism at this level is rare in our experience. I recommend Alex to anyone but especially those with ASD conditions. Thank you.
