Kind, professional, empathetic, and made me feel like I matter
Beth has been there in the middle of the night to listen to my side of the story, to advice me and to ensure that I do / say the right thing (encouraging me to give answers to support my case) and to sit next to me through the hearing.
The way she conducted herself on the day (night), her confidence, her manners, her listening skills, empathy & understanding, how she represented the company, how she tried to help me later by passing my details to their family law department and how she dealt with me over time when I bothered her with some additional emails - I could not fault anything. If I need any help in future, I will definitely be picking up a phone to Albin & Co first based on my experience with Beth.

Professional / Reassuring / Effective
Shanisha took up my case after one of her colleagues left the firm. My initial concern that this could destabilise things was not confirmed as Shanisha successfully picked up the reigns and was quickly up to speed with everything. Shanisha was diligent and thorough with her work as well as being supportive and reassuring at stressful and worrying moments during the days running up to court. I was grateful to receive a result that I was happy with.
A representative from Albin & Co Limited responded to this review on 05 March, 2025:
Hi Hugo. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad to hear that Shanisha was able to take over your case seamlessly and provide you with the support and reassurance you needed during a stressful time. Her diligence and thoroughness are qualities we value greatly, and weāre thrilled to know youāre happy with the result. We truly appreciate your trust in our team and wish you all the best.

Review for Hannah Price
Helped me understand the pathway of continuing offending and what the consequences will be. Did her best to lower the outcome of court and helped me to get support around my mental health and drug/alcohol problems. I highly recommend her for a solicitor

Helping with court appearances and assistance
I felt my solicitor was able to keep me informed and in the loop as cases went on and this help calm my nerves on how to deal with each court date. My solicitor was very thorough and clear on what to do and possibly expect on each occasion. I was always responded to when I emailed and on any particular day in court I felt my solicitor gave it everything to defend me. Id definitely recommend...

Criminal Case
The service I received throughout the case was exceptional. I cannot thank Karla Sims and my barrister, Adam Williams, enough for the understanding and help they gave me and my family during this period.
I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who needs legal advice.

Acquitted!
After being accused of assaulting a police officer I was found āNOT GUILTYā thanks to the amazing work done by Beth.
Her communication during the trial was very powerful and she was able to highlight some of areas of information from the police that were contradictory when compared to their original statements. Iāve been represented on other occasions many years ago and would put Beth as number 1, she was incredible!

I was represented by Luke Cheshire from albin and co, and after a year in family court, the best possible outcome came from the final hearing which was what was best for my child.
From previous experience from other solicitors (ie other firms) I was really surprised that Luke was only a trainee and out shined solicitors Iāve dealt with who were more established in the amount of years within there profession.
A very professional young man and knowledgeable in his field thank you very much for all your help with my family young man.

I will always recommend Albin and Co Solicitors. I had the pleasure of Luke Cheshire taking on my case and I couldnāt have asked for a better solicitor - please do not be put off with the fact he is a trainee! He is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and completely trustworthy. He handled my case fantastically and got the results I was looking for. Thank you Luke, without your help and support I am not sure how I would have managed.

I want to say a big thank you Albin&Co , special to Luke Cheshire , he is a young talented man.
We fought for the right to care for our grandson, not knowing the English law at all. We are both foreigners... Luke took us under his wings , explained everything and led us, prepared all the documents, advised. We are very impressed with his commitment and how much of his heart he has dedicated to our family.
I highly recommend Albin &Co, they have great solicitor's who engage in the case, are always in touch with the clients .
If I ever use lawyers, it will only be Albin & Co!
THANK YOU LUKE!

Honestly I can't recommend Albin and Co Solicitors especially Luke Cheshire from the Reading base enough.
He was absolutely amazing from the very beginning, right up till the very end. He was extremely professional and explained everything to me everytime and was absolutely amazing with my self. He took the time to get to know myself and my daughter and helped my daughters voice be heard. My daughter has many complex needs and he done his absolute best to make sure everyone understood her needs to make sure the outcome was what was best for my daughter. He's so patient and was there no matter what when I needed to speak to him etc.
He truly got to know myself and my family and always made myself feel comfortable and safe.
He was always made available throughout the whole year and half he was invovled and I never felt alone in any of it.
Albin and Co are truly professional and truly have the best interests of their clients at heart.
Thank you for everything Luke and the team, you were truly Amazing and held me together through such a hard time! You went above and beyond for myself and my family.
Amazing Solicitors who are nothing more then professional and truly are lovely.
Thank you!
