IF YOU VALUE YOUR FREEDOM USE SOMEONE ELSE! Worst representation ever, absolute failure from day one! (Allow me first to compliment the staff at reception or the phone when you call (simply outstanding, caring friendly and very professional, they are assets to this firm) Further on when you meet Mr. Blout simply a good sales man, after he manages to get you as a customer, he will provide you with any old excuses to avoid communicating with you (funeral, illness, out of office for holidays, gentleman club gathering, charity events, wait and wait no urgency to him for your case, at the end of the day when you receive a reply, it will all be technical to complicate the matter and be very evasive to guide you to the easy way of taking the money from the system (you are simply an asset to get money) and the easy way is plead guilty, it save time for them just to prepare less and simply do it in 10-15 min, you are basically used for money and they do want more criminal more footfall for the big business it is.
You will be promised that he will be representing you at MC and CC, however you will never see him again side by side with you, rather he will dispatch any of the newly graduated solicitors un-experienced solicitors (first time standing in front of the judge, nervous, stuttering, no objection, missing skills that you gain from experience).etc, no advise no prep for my case, every advise given is to drive you to crown court and get the big boys (friends, the circle of trust) more jobs and easy income, no witness was called, simply accept your faith designed and agreed for you sometimes back (all will be a great theatrical show).
Avoid and avoid, you will be used and sold, if you don't know the law or from different culture you will not follow and you will be used for your kindness, don't fall to the sales skills, use single solicitors firm or small solicitors from further than Scarborough and York.

I believe Howard & Byrne deserves a five star for their understanding and the willingness to help my situation and any other criminal law issue you may present to them. The welcome entrance personal assistances Marie and Louise are very kind, pleasant, understanding and helpful. Both these ladies put you at ease before meeting with your solicitor.
The solicitors and staff have brilliant law knowledge which you would hope so being a Criminal Law Solicitors! They all know the Criminal Law system and your legal rights. My Solicitor Emily is the most helpful and understanding solicitor who cares about your welfare. Emily is very thorough and detailed person she is an extremely hard working lady who will stand her ground and protect you.
There are many more solicitors I have had the chance to meet at this firm, all have their unique professional law standards and are all pleasant. Just hope your not on the receiving end of them as they're very scary if you have witnessed this! You can count on Howard & Byrne Solicitors they are all a fantastic team. I even saw Mr Byrne come out of the cracks today although, he was a too busy stop for a chat! H&B is a none stop solicitors always willing to help their clients. Thank you.
