Great friendly, knowledgeable and experienced team. My solicitor helped to explain all possible outcomes and the relevant laws and criteria etc. I unfortunately had to endure trial adjournment after adjournment due to covid and higher priority cases, but Morton's were very well familiarised with my case on every occasion which helped reassure me. The solicitor executed his role perfectly.
He raised every point we had discussed and did his own homework on my case, providing images, maps and an independent report to assist with my defence. Morton's were extremely professional and secured the result I was hoping for. I can't thank them enough, such a pleasure to deal with, I would certainly recommed! A++++

It's a 10/10 for Ben, I received a driving offence couple months ago and I contacted Morton solicitors. Right away they responded to me letting me know what to do and they would take care of it. I am very happy the offence was reduced. Simon morton the main man himself kept me informed throughout the process. I definitely recommend Morton solicitors.

I would highly recommend Simon from Morton's Solicitors, I can not fault the business from the start of the process to the end, Simon truly went above and beyond to help / advise and get the desired result. Every member of staff I dealt with at the company were brilliant. I had rang around multiple solicitors until I rang Morton's and I knew straight away they were who I wanted to defend my road traffic accident case. Thanks again to everyone especially Simon Morton.

I would just like to say Simon helped me over the last year with false allegations put on me which I'm now glad to say the police have said no further action. Iv never had dealings with the police in my life and Simon put my brain at rest and set out a plan on how to clear my name. So if your in need of a total professional call Simon. Thank you Simon from Chris Winders

Simon represented me and successfully defended an exceptional hardship argument to allow me to keep my driving licence. He was diligent, paid exceptional attention to detail and was an extremely reassuring influence which allowed me to stay calm throughout the whole process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon Morton to anybody needing to defend a driving offence.

Simon represented me recently and I'm glad he did, he was brilliant and got the best outcome. The effort, hard work and patience he put into my case, I really couldn't of asked for anything more. His competent and professional manner came across & he was really friendly which helped keep me calm! Simon kept in touch the whole time letting me know what was going on and even though it was relentless because of other factors, Simon always did his up most best for me. Id definitely recommend Morton's and If I ever needed them again I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them. Thank you Morton's.

I can highly recommend Morton's solicitors for anybody who requires legal defence. I hired Simon for a motor traffic offence and I couldn't have asked for more in regards to all aspects of service. I had so much confidence in them and it really did take the strain of the whole worrying process. They made me feel safe knowing they were handling the case. They truly are the best.

Mortons Solicitors and Simon Morton are the Best solicitors you will find in Stockport. Simon represented me recently at Stockport Magistrates, I was afraid I would go to prison until I saw how good Simon was. He is a true professional who wants what is best for his clients. I have never in my life seen a solicitor so Good ! I never imagined a Solicitor could be so Good.
I dont know what I would of done without them.... I would never use anyone else. We were very cheeky and asked for a conditional discharge. Thanks to Simon we got it. I could not believe it and still can't... Thankyou !!!
