“Outstanding Legal Representation”
“I can’t thank Mark McNeil and the team at McNeil & Co Solicitors enough for their exceptional service. Mark was professional, approachable, and completely committed to my case from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, kept me updated at every stage, and his preparation and expertise in court were outstanding. His calm and confident approach gave me real reassurance during a very stressful time, and the outcome was better than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Mark and McNeil & Co to anyone needing skilled and dedicated legal representation.”

About my case
From the start Mark informed me of a good chance of a custodial sentence due to my previous compliance with probation, but still put forward a brilliant defence for me and saw I was given the lowest sentence possible. He was honest from the start so I wasn't expecting the impossible from Court, and this is the firm I'll be using for future representation whether in Magistrates' or a Crown Court setting.
Thank you McNeil & Co

Excellent advocacy
Mark of McNeil & Co was an excellent advocate in a matter where I was invited for a voluntary interview. The investigation was rightly dropped with No Further Action as they complainants allegations were unfounded. Mark was calm, reassuring and performed an excellent go between, with myself and the police.
