   Massive Thank You! I want to say a massive thank you and well done to my solicitor, Sam Smith, for winning my court case. What an amazing woman! I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor — she filled me with so much confidence and supported me throughout the entire process and on the day of the trial. Both Sam and the company were outstanding, and I would highly recommend them for any future cases. Thank you again for everything — I’ll definitely be passing on your details to friends and family!

   My brother just came out of court today. Sam Smith was very professional and our outcome was brilliant. Draycott Browne Solicitors have a great team.

   I cannot speak highly enough of Draycott Browne. They represented me in an exceptionally long and complicated criminal case, and from my very first contact, I was impressed by their unwavering professionalism and dedication. Throughout the entire process, which spanned several years, I was treated with the utmost courtesy, patience, sympathy, and understanding. What truly sets them apart is their holistic approach; they provided invaluable support not just to me, but also to my family, during an incredibly stressful time. Draycott Brown assembled a formidable legal team whose expertise was evident at every stage. While the final outcome of the case was not what I had initially hoped for, I am absolutely certain that they achieved the best possible result given the difficult circumstances. Their strategic guidance and relentless effort minimised further distress and secured a position that allows me to move forward. I would recommend Draycott Brown without reservation to anyone facing complex litigation. They are more than just brilliant lawyers; they are compassionate advisors who fight tirelessly for their clients.

   Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended I honestly can’t thank Sam Smith from Draycott Browne Solicitors enough for her incredible support and professionalism shown throughout my case. From the very beginning, she guided me through every step of the legal process, ensuring I fully understood what was happening at each stage. Her calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring approach made a difficult and stressful situation much more manageable. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, I received the minimum possible charge, a result I truly believe wouldn’t have been achieved without her dedication. She went above and beyond, always making herself available to answer questions, offer advice, and provide support when I needed it most. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers results, I couldn’t recommend her more. A true professional in every sense.

   One to avoid, poor / inaccurate communications, no real interest in the case. poor representation and even worse follow up. Could have done a lot better but don't return phone calls. Unprofessional

   My experience with this firm - one solicitor in particular is that she* did not confer with me anything that was going to be spoken about in the final summery / speech / mitigation / argument to the judges. She* did not even have to say anything as the judges had read all they needed too and was going to go with recommendations anyway.and I went guilty. The prosecutor spoke better and with more respect than she* did. I ended up on the front page -(with no knowledge of press being there) Very personal things being said and written about In the paper for all to see and comment, that are irrelevant to the case and blatant lies and information completely wrong. I have not been able to settle since. I feel like I’ve been set up.

   A very well represented solicitors with more than I expected level of knowledge. My interactions with them left me feeling more than confident they would be more than able to assist me.

   I had a complex case where I was spiked and had accusations made by another party on the same night. Draycott Browne appeared entirely disinterested in the case law that I provided, failed to enter into discussion about my case by Email and (after an initial meeting fell through with good reason) refused to meet me ahead of the first (plea) hearing so that I could fully explain my case and my supporting evidence. Draycott Browne simply presumed that they could work on my case within a few minutes before the hearing without fully understanding it or my evidence to have the case thrown out as an abuse of process. Lawyers seem more and more cosy with the CPS but in the case of Draycott Browne, I can’t prove this but they certainly didn’t have my interests at heart. They relied on a lack of disclosure in the case despite the disclosure having effectively already having been provided at interview and the summons containing the charges having already been supplied. The firm also suggested that a meeting would be beyond Legal Aid funding (i’m cynical about this) and they did not want to budge beyond the bare minimum. I consider that they wanted to drag out my case rather than get it finalised asap to get the maximum funding at my emotional expense. This is not a firm you want to be instructing (they think they know better than the client anyway from my experience at least) when your liberty is at risk. They should be prepared to be respectful to clients, listen to those who are legal academics and not patronise their clients. I’ve told Draycott Browne that their services are no longer required and i’d recommend potential clients make sure that firms are dedicated, communicative with clients and will advise as soon as they have the evidence needed and without unnecessary delay during what is always a stressful time. I will add that this was the case with/between two Solicitors working on my case there so I see it pointless to mention names, to me, my experience stems from the wider culture within the criminal law department at Manchester.
