She previously worked as a paralegal in another criminal law firm, where she assisted fee earners in preparing cases, gaining valuable experience in criminal defence.

"I needed some assistance with a civil case for my sister and Ross at Nelson Guest & Partners Solicitors was recommended by a colleague.

Whilst they couldn’t assist with the Civil Case, we knew that there would eventually be a criminal case and Ross advised us what action we should take when that time arrived and what we needed to do when the police made contact.

With the assistance of Ross, Nicole & Nigel we were helped through all stages including police interviews, Magistrates Court and finally Crown Court. My sister was offering a Guilty Plea, but the case wasn’t straight-forward and we were advised from the beginning that the final outcome would be a custodial sentence.

With Ross’s help, knowledge, ability to demonstrate the background to the crime and the circumstances as to why the crime was committed, the final outcome was far better than we could have imagined and my sister came home.

Myself and my family can’t thank Ross and the team enough for their assistance with this case. We firmly believe that it was their hard work, commitment and knowledge that led to this outcome.

I would recommend Nelson Guest and Ross in particular to anyone in need of legal assistance."

"Ross and Nicole, I honestly can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me. Your hard work, dedication and professionalism throughout my GBH case were second to none.

You stood by me and backed me all the way, even when things got tough in court and the pressure was at its highest. You never gave up on me, and your commitment and support meant more than I can put into words.

The outcome speaks for itself, found not guilty. I’m incredibly grateful for everything you both did to help me get through one of the hardest periods of my life.

I would highly recommend Ross and Nicole to anyone who needs solicitors who genuinely care about their clients and will fight their corner every step of the way. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart."

"Highly recommend!

Ross and Nicole have been fantastic in assisting in our case with a favourable outcome. They offered guidance and support throughout with practical advice and a human touch in difficult circumstances.

Their knowledge has been invaluable to us and we can’t thank them enough for their understanding and generosity during unsettled times.

We were recommended Nelson Guest and Partners by a friend and wouldn’t hesitate in passing that recommendation on, they really do go that extra mile.

Thank you again Ross and Nicole."

Client Review

"I used Nelson Guest & Partners for a family member.

I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve needed to use a solicitor, but I have to say Nelson Guest & Partners provided the best service I could’ve asked for. They were extremely helpful, caring and compassionate throughout the process.

They were available for any questions or phone calls that I had. They were reassuring every step of the way and, honestly, I don’t think we would’ve got the same outcome if I’d gone with anyone else.

So if you’re looking for a recommendation of a good solicitor that caters for both private clients and those on legal aid, this is definitely the solicitor for you.

Thank you again to the whole team, you were amazing."
